Macro Parameter
Complicated looks can be quickly programmed by using one of the 8 factory-
programmed macros controlled by the Macro Parameter (Channel 23). Sequences
can also be created using the variable speed random macro which randomly plays all
the macros. Each macro modifies a specific set of constructs to produce a unique
look, while allowing you to retain control of all other constructs.
When a macro is in use, you will be unable to manipulate the constructs it controls.
For example, if you turn on a Macro and it sets Litho wheel 1 to position 5 and rotates
it forward at 20 r.p.m., you will be unable to change the litho position, rotational
direction (function), or rotational speed.
Table 4-8 describes the factory macros available for Studio Spot 575 fixtures.
