lever
1
Press the [MCRO ATTCH ENBL] button assigned to
a utility/shotbox control block button or user
preference button, turning it on.
2
Move the fader lever from the start position to the end
position.
When the fader lever passes the position at which the
macro attachment is set, the macro register is recalled,
and the macro is executed.
Notes
• Unless you move the fader lever to the end position
(completing the travel), it is not possible to execute the
macro again.
• When the preset color mix stroke mode is Normal, the
first lever operation executes the macro, but the second
lever operation does not.
For details, see "Setting a preset color mix" (page 537).
• If a button is pressed twice during macro execution or
when the macro is stopped, or if another macro is
recalled, the following operation (stop or continue)
depends on a setting in setup (see page 521).
• Individual events stored in a macro are executed
according to the settings in setup. If you change the
settings in setup, a saved macro may not have the
expected effect.
• During macro execution, if you switch the control panel
to macro editing mode, the macro being executed stops.
• During macro editing, even if you operate a fader lever
with a macro attachment set, the macro is not executed.
To disable a macro attachment setting
Press the [MCRO ATTCH ENBL] button assigned to a
utility/shotbox control block button or user preference
button, turning it off.
In this state, operating a fader lever with a macro
attachment set does not execute the macro.
