i would like to have a midi controller used for triggering macros for fixtures but in the midi set up window there is no listing for macros. can i only midi map whats listed in the config window or am i able to map anything? if so how can this be done? thanks.

You can't access direct features of the fixture, but you can make single step sequences with the fixture set to the macro of your choice (all other fixtures set to OFF). Save each sequence and add it to a cue. Access your macros of choice via midi by mapping the midi control to the Cue. Your done.

in stead of adding the sequences to the cue list you can assign them to override buttons

Good point LJ. Either way will work. Plenty options with FS. Just have to figure out what works for you best.

FS has various options for many features, the above comment is spot on!
