Macro Attachments - Sony XVS Series User Manual

Macro Attachments

A macro attachment is a function whereby a macro register
is assigned to a control panel button or a particular position
of a fader lever, linking the execution of the button
function or a fader lever operation with a macro execution.
Setting a macro attachment to a button
Select one of the following three linking modes to make
the macro attachment.
Pre-macro: Mode in which the button function is
executed after macro execution has completed.
Post-macro: Mode in which the macro is executed after
carrying out the button function.
Macro only: Mode in which the button function is not
executed, and the macro only is executed.
Select each mode using the following buttons.
Mode Button
Pre-macro Press [PRE MACRO] on the cross-point
pad of the cross-point control block.
Post-macro Press [POST MACRO] on the cross-point
pad of the cross-point control block.
Macro only Press the [PRE MACRO] button and
[POST MACRO] button simultaneously.
You can assign any one of the 250 macro registers to a
button.
For a button whose function is switched by delegation, you
can make a separate macro attachment for each function.
For each control panel, you can make up to 1000 macro
attachment settings.
Macro attachments can be set for the following buttons.

a) In the case of an event that inserts or removes a key, the state at the time
of event registration (inserted or not inserted) is also saved in the macro.
When the macro is executed, the event is only replayed if the key state
matches the saved state.
Example: For a macro with an event that removes a key, when the macro
is executed, the key is removed if it is inserted, but otherwise remains
unchanged.
Notes

in the AUX bus control block (AUX bus operation
mode), if in the Setup menu you change the assignment
of buses to the 1st row/2nd row delegation buttons, the
macro attachment setting disappears.
• After setting a macro attachment to a 2nd row cross-
point button in the cross-point control block in key/AUX
bus delegation mode, if in the Setup menu you change
the assignment of buses to the 1st row delegation
buttons, the macro attachment setting disappears.
• After setting a macro attachment to a button for which
you can perform function replacement or function
assignment, if you change the function assignment to the
button, the macro attachment setting disappears.
• After setting a macro attachment to a cross-point button
in the cross-point control block, if you change the
function assignment to the button, the macro attachment

Enabling/disabling a macro attachment
You can temporarily disable the macro attachment
settings. When a macro attachment is disabled, pressing
the button does not cause execution of the assigned macro.
