Control block Event
Utility/Shotbox Recalling the functions assigned to

a) In the case of an event that inserts or deletes a key, the key 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 deletes
a key, when the macro is executed, if the key is inserted it is deleted, but
otherwise nothing occurs as concerns keying.)
b) Function valid only when [PLAY], [STOP], and [CUE] have been set in
the Setup menu.
c) When using the device control block (search dial), this operates as a
reference module. When not used, this operates on the module selected in
the Engineering Setup >Panel >Config menu.
For details of reference module selection, see "Overall Control Panel
Settings (Config Menu)" (page 566).

Macro Creation and Editing

You can create or edit a macro by recalling a macro
register.
To create a new macro, recall an empty macro register, and
create the desired sequence of events (by executing the
sequence of operations on the control panel that you want
to save as events in the macro).
To add an event to an existing macro, recall the register
holding the macro, and create the event you want to add.
Notes
While editing a macro, it is not possible to execute another
macro.
Creating a macro
To include all information associated with an
operation when registering a macro event
When registering an auto transition operation as an event,
you can register the auto transition event to include the
transition rate and background A/B bus selection status.
When registering an effect execution, rewind, or fast
forward as an event, you can also save the region to which
this applies.
To use this capability, assign the following functions to
user preference buttons in the menu control block or
buttons in the utility/shotbox control block (see page 589),
and turn the relevant button on before you start an event to
register.
Macro AT with Rate (Macro Auto Trans Event with/
without Rate): When registering an auto transition
macro event in the transition control block or
independent key transition control block, include the
transition rate.
Macro AT with A/B Bus (Macro Auto Trans Event
with/without A/B Bus): When registering an auto
transition macro event in the transition control block,
include the background A/B bus cross-point.
Macro TL with Region (Macro Timeline with Region):
When registering an effect execution, rewind, or fast
