then I recorded to workscapes, it also dont display,
also cannot select Banks with Macro button

any Idea to do this page change recording to macro buttons

Thanks Fawzie

Hi,

are you refering to the pages of the group/colour/position/gobo&beam workspace windows? Then it's quite easy to create macros to toggle all pages simultaneously:
- open and arrange all 4 windows so that you have the page buttons visible
- <Macro>, [Record Macro], <the Macro key you want to record on>
- select page x in the group window
- select page x in the positions window
- select page x in the colours window
- select page x in the gobos&beams window
- <Macro> (to stop recording the Macro)
- repeat this for Macros for more pages

I tested this myself, without a problem. What seems a bit awkward is that if your pages are empty, then only a limited number of pages is displayed. Furthermore, the number of displayed pages depends from the screen resolution, e.g. on a FullHD display I have 6 pages + 'Banks', whereas on the standard Touchwing display, only 4 pages are displayed. However, once the macro is recorded, it correctly switches the pages (I did Macros for up to 6 pages). As soon as you record some palettes on the pages, more pages will appear.

If you would use such a macro frequently, then it wouldn't be hard to write this into the macro library - let me know if I can be of help regarding this.

Hai Sabastian,

Thanks for your reply, I also did the same way, on the touch screen 4 pages change and page numbers show properly,
5th page change, but page number 5 dosnt show, as I have Legend pages as my fixture Models, I have 9 pages change as 9 macros.
Page 5,6,7,8,9, dont show up, but Color, Gobo, Beam, Grope, windows change, cannot identify legend on Page 5,6,7,8,9,

Thanks Fawzie
