Hello, i hope someone can help me: about the next thing,

We are programming for a band, now we want to make 50 macro's to switch your playback faders to a page : so if i touch the macro: acdc medley the desk switch to the page for that song. This is already working, now we have a problem, i need some cue buttons or the static playbacks for every song diffrent, and i want that they switch together with the page. Somebody a idea? How can i sync the exurcutors on a tiger touch 2 to the pages or some other ways to do? The problem is that i need every song 10 faders and 10 buttons. And they are every song different . I hope someone can help me! Thank, Tim

Please refer to the manual,look for 'Set List'. What you describe sounds exactly like what setlist is for.

Set List doesn't change the static playbacks at the moment which I think is the problem here.

It is possible to create macros that go to specific static playback pages though. To do this you need to manually add some in the AvolitesMacros.xml file.

There are already macros for pages 1-4 (albeit named 0-3).

The code for page 5 would be:

Code: Select all

  <macro id="Avolites.Macros.ChangeToPresetsPage5" name="Static Playbacks Page 5">
    <description>Changes the presets page to page 5.</description>
    <sequence>
      <step>Handles.StaticPlaybacks.ChangePage(4)</step>
    </sequence>
  </macro>


and for page 6:

Code: Select all

  <macro id="Avolites.Macros.ChangeToPresetsPage6" name="Static Playbacks Page 6">
    <description>Changes the presets page to page 6.</description>
    <sequence>
      <step>Handles.StaticPlaybacks.ChangePage(5)</step>
    </sequence>
  </macro>


and so on.

Please take care when editing this file.
