On/Off Macro

Post by djcoma1200 » Mon Jun 20, 2011 10:18 pm

Make it so that when you map a device's on/off button to a macro, the macro turns into a switch instead of the standard rotary knob.

That would be nice to have just that slight visual difference. Good call.

Ya, or not even change the knob, just make it say on or off below the knob rather than 0-127. That way I don't have to hit show/hide devices and double check that I have something turned off or on. On off doesnt work in 0-127 (at least not from the user's point of view) when you're automating the on/off of a device so I don't see why this can't be translated to macros too.
