Masters - Group Masters

Useful for groups which you don't change that often, which you dont give a real fader and rather use some buttons for just up/down.

• Group.SetGroupFaderLevel

• Global.PageSwitchAccuracy

There is a file available which has these macros already prepared for groups on preset buttons 1~10: adb_groupmaster.xml.

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to Formats and syntax

Group.SetGroupFaderLevel does exactly that: sets a group master to a designated - absolute or relative - level. For more details see Group.SetGroupFaderLevel.

1. make this macro available
2. create some groups, and copy them to buttons 1~10 in the Fixtures and Playbacks window (this is another window than the Fixtures window! You get it via [Open Workspace Window] [Fixtures and Playbacks]).
3. now, with the macros mapped to buttons, you can control the 'virtual group faders'
