Macro as override button?

Post by Hambone »

I have 4 American DJ AccuSpot 250 II moving heads, set up in 2 groups (inner and outer). I have created submasters for the various functions (pan/tilt, color, gobo, gobo rotation, and shutter, for 10 submasters altogether). In the fixture, I have macros defined for slow, medium, and fast shake.

Instead of having to define a sequence for each gobo plus its shake modes (28 sequences in all), I would like to create override buttons that apply a macro to the fixture. Specifically, I would want to set up buttons for slow, medium, fast, and no shake for inners, outers, and all (12 buttons). I know that this is possible to do from the macro window for the selected fixtures, and works properly even if the fixtures are on different gobos. However, in a live situation I don't want to have to make sure I've got the proper fixtures selected and open the macro window, it's easier to just hit an override button.

So, is this possible, or am I out of luck because sequences will only record the actual DMX values? has anyone tried this and gotten it to work?
