Menu Macros; Recalling A Menu Macro Register And Executing A Menu Macro - Sony MVS-8000X User Manual

To disable macro attachment settings
Depending on the location of the button you want to
disable, press the [MACRO ATTCH ENABLE] button (or
button assigned with the "Macro Attachment Enbl"
command), turning it off.
If using the [MACRO ATTACH ENABLE] button on the
cross-point Flexi Pad, press it, turning it on dark blue.
In this state, pressing a button for which a macro
attachment is set does not execute the macro.
Executing a macro assigned to a fader
lever
1
In the cross-point control block for the fader lever on
which you want to execute the macro, press the
[MACRO ATTACH ENABLE] button in the cross-
point Flexi Pad, turning it on orange.
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 about setting the stroke mode, see "Setting a
preset color mix" (page 447).
• If a button is pressed twice during macro execution or
when the macro is stopped, or if another macro is
recalled, the following operation depends on a setting in
the Setup menu (see page 429).
• Individual events stored in a macro are executed
according to the settings in the Setup menu. If you
change the settings in the Setup menu, a saved macro
may not have the expected effect.
• During macro execution, if you switch the control panel
to macro editing mode, the macro currently 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 macro attachment settings
In the cross-point control block for the fader lever you
want to disable the macro, press the [MACRO ATTACH
ENABLE] button in the cross-point Flexi Pad, turning it on
orange.
In this state, operating a fader lever with a macro
attachment set does not execute the macro.

Menu Macros

The term "menu macro" refers to the function whereby a
sequence of menu operations is saved as data in memory,
so that it can be recalled as required to automatically
execute the same sequence of operations.
You can operate menu macros using any of the menus in
the following table.
Menu Function

Menu macro registers
The area of memory that holds a menu macro is termed a
"menu macro register." For each control panel there are 99
menu macro registers, numbered 1 to 99. You can edit
these in the Menu Macro Register menu.
Menu macro events
The events that can be registered in a menu macro are
operations carried out in a menu.
For details about menu operations which are not used in
menu macros, see "Menu Operations Not Registered in a
Menu Macro" (page 541).
Recalling a Menu Macro Register
and Executing a Menu Macro
Menu macro operation is carried out by recalling a menu
macro register.
Notes
• Menu macros and macros recalled with a control panel
button operate independently. Therefore, to synchronize
these, adjustment of the execution timing is required.
• Events saved in a menu macro are executed according to
the settings in force when the event was registered, and
therefore if you change the setup when recalling, it may
not be possible to replay the event correctly.
• When two menu macros are recalled successively, the
first executed has precedence.
