Macro delays
In the figure above, the dots represents different channels all running the same shape and parameters
but with different delays. Delays can be spread over the whole macro shape (A) or set closer together
for a 'follow the leader' type of effect.
Programming 16 bit control channels
The Generic DMX Macro differentiates between 8-bit control channels and 16-bit control channels.
Macro shapes and parameters assigned to 16-bit MSB control channels are used to generate values
for both MSB and LSB channels utilizing the far superior resolution in DMX values offered by 16-bit
control. It is not possible to assign macro shapes or parameters to 16-bit LSB control channels.
For further information on programming macros see the generic DMX macro editor

The Generic DMX macro editor
Before programming generic macros for the first time, please read the generic DMX macros section.
The generic DMX macro editor is opened by clicking in the cue control or by hotkey.

The Macro Editor
The Generic Macro editor is used to program the generic DMX macro entries in the cue control. The
editor is split into 4 different parts plus a command panel with often-used commands.
Macro Shapes List
The Macro list on the far right contains the available macro shapes - note that before a specific macro
shape can be assigned to fixture control channels at least one fixture and at least one DMX control
channel must be selected. For a more detailed description see macro shapes lists
