Adding a macro to control channel data

[Wozcu]

So, I've got two Martin Magnum 2000 Pro fog machines. They are in use all the time, mostly in dance shows (modern etc.) and plays. The frog 2 user manual doesn't say absolutely anything about programming your own macros and generally I'm a total newcomer with macros, but I'm asking is it possible to control the channel data for channel 1 (fog) by using macros?

 

Ie. if I want to have fog coming in with the "intensity" of 80% for 5 seconds at the start of a cue, or at full for 3s without affecting the originally recorded cue (so that I could add the macro later on). Usually we have just done it manually with udf's/udk's, but since fog has to be used so often as an effect, it would be a whole lot easier to just add M[x] in the last paragraph in the cue stack window. If it is possible, as I think it is, that way the fog could be timed perfecty to eg. the changing of scenes in a play controlled either by the Go-button or a wait time. Any other ideas not involving the use of macros are also welcome.

 

Thanks in advance =)

You should record your smoke cues on a separate cue stack and then trigger them from your lighting cue stack by writing in the macro e.g. g2 this will trigger the go button on stack 2. etc etc
