Using submasters in macros

You can enter a submaster bump switch in a macro to function in three
different ways: to act as a normal bump switch; to fade a submaster to
full, regardless of its current condition; or to fade a submaster out,
regardless of its current condition . The last two options are most useful
for submasters with a long or infinite wait time.
To enter a bump switch that functions normally, that is, starts a timed
submaster or changes the direction of a running fade, just press the
bump switch . Expression enters the message SUB N , where N is the
submaster number.
To enter a bump switch that fades the submaster to full, press and hold
the bump switch, and press [Enter] . Expression enters the message ON-
SUB N , where N is the submaster number.
To enter a bump switch that fades out submaster, press and hold the
bump switch, and press [Clear] . Expression enters the message CLEAR-
SUB N , where N is the submaster number.

Running a macro

To run macros one through five, press the appropriate blue macro key .
For example, to run macro one, press [M1].
To run macros six and beyond, press [M*], the number of the macro,
and [Enter] . For example, to run macro 10, press [M*], [1][0], [Enter].

Putting a macro on hold

You can put a running macro on hold by pressing [Macro wait] . To
release the macro from hold, press the macro button again (or M* and
the macro number for macros 6 and beyond) .
