I have traditionally not used macros very much except for utility functions (lamp on/off, fixture reset, ect.) but I'm starting to see how useful they can be for both programming and playback and I'd like to delve in.

Could anyone share their favorite macros that they like to use for programming and playback? Or, is there a resource of common macros that people find useful? Is there a shuffle fixture selection macro that anyone has built?

Thanks in advance

In particular Niclights has already posted some really sophisticated examples, e.g. http://avolitesshop.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=1480 or http://avolitesshop.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=1801

As for shuffle, another approach (of course for Dimmer/Colours only) would use the Pixelmapper. Have a read in the manual (updated versions on the server - this particular chapter was missing). Not exactly a shuffle thing, more a random...
