Play macro when playback is released.

[cucumberbob]

I have a macro that selects certain lights when I raise it. This part works fine, but I'd like to deselect those lights when I fade the playback down again. Is this possible, and if so, how?

Hello,

Macros can only be triggered by cues. Therefore releasing a playback by pulling the fader down can’t trigger a macro. 

What you could do however, is Record a blank second cue onto the playback. In this cue, trigger a macro that deselected your fixtures, and also add a release macro that releases its own playback. Then go into the playback settings (hold SETUP and tap the playback’s button), tap Raise and Lower, and press disable release on lower. 

Now, you can fade your playback up, then fade it down, and then press the playback’s button, which will release the playback and deselect the fixtures. 

Hope this helps, if you have any queries let me know.
