User Manual

The Save Over Current Frame button overwrites the selected frame(s) with the current target values

from the Maestro.

If the Play in a loop checkbox is checked, sequence playback will loop back to the beginning of the

sequence whenever it reaches the end.

The Sequence dropdown box along with the Rename, Delete, and New Sequence buttons allow you

to create and manage multiple sequences.

A sequence can also be used to create a script which is stored on the Maestro. There are two buttons

for copying the sequence into the script:

• Copy Sequence to Script sets the script to a looped version of the sequence. In most cases,

you will also want to check the “Run script on startup” option in the Script tab so that the

script runs automatically when the Maestro is powered up, enabling fully automatic operation

without a connection to a computer.

• Copy all Sequences to Script is an advanced option that adds a set of subroutines to

the end of the current script. Each subroutine represents one of the sequences; calling the

subroutine from the script will cause the sequence to be played back a single time. These

subroutines must be used together with custom script code; for example, you could make a

display in which a button connected to an input channel triggers a sequence to play back.

Sequence Editing Tips

• You can select multiple frames by holding down the Ctrl or Shift buttons while clicking on

them. This allows you to quickly move, delete, set the duration of, cut, copy, or save over

several frames at once.

• You can drag any of the tabs out of the main window in to their own windows. If you drag the

Sequence tab out of the window then you will be able to see the Status tab and the Sequence

tab at the same time.

• You can cut, copy, and paste frames by selecting them and then using the Edit menu or the

standard keyboard shortcuts. Frames are stored on the clipboard as tab-separated text, so

you can cut them from the frame list, paste them in to a spreadsheet program, edit them, and

then copy them back in to the frame list when you are done. (This feature does not work in

Linux.)

Keyboard Shortcuts

The following keyboard shortcuts can be used in the frame list:

• Ctrl+A: Select all frames.
