[quote="Bill D"][quote="Rick Edwards"][quote="Rick Edwards"] Mike, with the advent of V5.x, status was added to Macro recording. As I understand it, by default when learing a macro from the panel (as opposed to entering it on the touchscreen by "code") a keyer's status is part of the macro. That means if the macro step #1 is to press a keyer button, it will see it as "turn keyer 1 on with an auto trans". I beleive you can convert it to something more agnostic by going into the "off-line macro editor" in the macro menu. It's pretty self-explanatory there but you should see something about status. I am, by luck, in front of an 8000 today and I will look and post my findings. RE[/quote] When you go into the offline macro editor, you'll see, in the macro, TO ON, TO OFF, ANY. If you set it to ANY then it will simply toggle. RE[/quote] Is that per macro? Either way I love that it remembers states, the fact that it gives you options is even cooler...[/quote] Yes, that's on a macro by macro basis RE

[quote="Rick Edwards"][quote="Rick Edwards"][quote="MSanta"]Hey all, I'm a new user on a sony mvs8000A Hd... Im pretty sure im using version 5.12..I'm trying to make a macro that will key on DSK1, then when i hit it again, will turn it off .My goal was then to attach that to another button.. I made it by simply by recording one keystroke of cutting dsk1 ON.. The macro will turn it on, but when i hit it a second time when the key is already on, it wont turn back off.. Is there something special that im supposed to be doing? I've built a macro like this on a phillips and had no problems.. A buddy of mine says is works on his sony with a lower software version?? Has anyone else had this problem. any help id really appreciate.. Mike[/quote] Mike, with the advent of V5.x, status was added to Macro recording.
