Can you change the macro buttons so they dont solo?

Everything Ive programmed on them will take all playbacks and outputs to 0 when I push any of the buttons.

Sure. Key Profiles is the trick. Essentially, they're 'Blue Keys'

- Playback Options [B]
- hit the key you wish to edit
- 'Add New' [B]
- give it a name...
- select 'Blue Key' [A]
- 'Flash' (or 'Latch'...)
- Exit, Exit, Exit

For making this process easier, I usually make two new key profiles when starting a new show: 'Latch all' which makes all keys (blue/grey/touch) latching (House lights, fog machines...), and 'flash all'... I admit this is something more for 'quick'n'dirty' - but you can make use of the finer granulated things later anyway.

Just to avoid any confusion there was one step missing - after [playback options]/select key you need to find the [key profile] softkey. This might require stepping forward or backwards through the menu.

There is of course the small matter that the keys are actually grey. The fact the software thinks they are blue smells of bug. I shall raise.

Sounds good, I went back through and tried to change them, you get the options for Swop, Flash, and Touch, and I think I tried everything, then on to takeover, program, etc... and still its soloing out...

LIke if I have 30 movers, and I take 5 and record a position macro change on the physical macro buttons, when I hit that button, it will execute, and all the other movers will flash to 0, until its released.

Ive tried a few times, I may be misinterpreting some nominclature here....

Disregard above,

yes, it was a color problem for me, changing the blue button from swop to flash worked.

And yes! that is something to mention nic, It definately got me.

As a followup on this whole thing, what does "touch" refer to? Is that the fader? If so, why not just call it "fader"?

Touch is for touchscreens (the action on buttons in windows).
