+The real interesting thing here is the double action per macro button:
+  * the ''<start>'' section is performed when the button is pressed
+    * ''Playbacks.FlashPlayback()'' flashes a particular playback (here identified by its user number)
+    * ''Group.FlashFader(...,**true**)'' flashes a particular playback group's fader (also identified by its user number)
+  * the ''<end>'' section is performed when the button is relesed (let go)
+    * ''Playbacks.ClearFlashPlayback()'' unflashes a particular previously flashed playback (here identified by its user number)
+    * ''Group.FlashFader(...,**false**)'' unflashes a particular playback group's fader (also identified by its user number)
