The six macro controls are a core element of the Play Series performance workflow. The macro controls, alongside the Balance and Volume knobs, are the only parameters that remain accessible from any view within ETHEREAL EARTH. You can assign up to 12 parameters to each macro, with individually adjustable min/max range for each assignment, and a Shaper Curve that governs how the macro behaves within the defined min/max range. The Shaper Curve is also available for each assigned parameter.
The Snapshots that were created for ETHEREAL EARTH each come with their own distinct macro assignments and implementations. In the Macro Editor, you can edit the assigned macro controls of existing snapshots and their parameter ranges, or create your own macro assignments. Toggle between the six macros by clicking the colored buttons displayed horizontally across the top. Clicking any of the buttons allows you to see the list of parameters assigned to them. At the top-right of the Shaper Curve is the Macro Shaper Options menu, which provides various processing and editing options, an additional ways to manage your preset shapes.
Macro Controls: Each colored block represents a macro control. Click on a macro to display the group of parameters assigned to it and access the parameters' editing tools. Click + drag a colored block left or right to rearrange the order of the six macro controls. For more information, refer to Macro Assignments.
Macro Slot List: Displays all parameters assigned to the selected macro control. Each macro has 12 macro slots, facilitating up to 12 different parameter assignments per macro. Click on a macro slot to access the editing options for that assignment, including the Macro Shaper Curve and Range controls.
Macro Assignment (icons): The arrow dot icon jumps directly to the page containing the parameter assigned to the macro slot. The dot next to the parameter will blink to draw attention and indicate the assignment. The X icon deletes the assigned parameter from the selected macro.
Macro Options Menu: Provides options to manage your Macro Shaper presets, and contains predefined curve shapes which you can quickly recall for convenience or inspiration. For more information, refer to Macro Shaper Options Menu.
Macro Shaper Shift (arrow icons): Click the arrow icons to shift the values in the Macro Shaper Curve left, right, up or down. Press [Shift] + click the left or right arrows to move the values in the specified direction, but to retain the first or last value in the table. This creates a limiter-style effect, whereby the first value is repeated as you press [Shift] + click the right arrow. Holding [Shift] + clicking the up or down arrows will create expansion or compression. Pressing [Ctrl] / [Cmd] + clicking will repeat the process ten times.
Macro Shaper Smoothing: Switches the interpolation for the Macro Shaper Curve on or off. As the Macro Shaper contains only 100 values and macro knobs have a much higher resolution of 1,000,000 values, the shaper curve needs to be mapped to the larger range. When Macro Shaper Smoothing is turned off, transitions between curve steps are strictly quantized. This is useful in certain use cases, for example, a macro assigned to the Tune parameter, and a quantized Curve Shaper to hit various pitches of a scale. When Macro Shaper Smoothing is turned on, transitions between curve steps are linearly interpolated, which provides more fluid behavior. This is especially useful when assigning macros to a filter Cutoff or various effects parameters.
Assigning macros in ETHEREAL EARTH is intuitive and easy. Not all parameters are available for assignment, including buttons, menus, Transpose, and Envelope Attack Curve. Valid parameters are found only in the Sound and FX Editors.
Macros are also a quick and useful way to navigate around the synth engine, allowing you to move between the Macro Editor and the assigned parameters with a mouse click. The following workflows demonstrate how to assign, remove, rename and rearrange your macro assignments.
Once you have set up all your macro controls, you might want to rearrange the order in which they appear. This is useful for keeping related controls close to each other and can be tailored to suit your performance needs or playing style.
The Macro Shaper Options menu provides a range of tools for editing the Macro Shaper Curve and managing your Macro Shaper presets. Tools dedicated to editing the shape of your curve include options for copying, mirroring, inverting, and straightening. Additionally, the initialization function enables you to reset the Macro Shaper Curve to its default values.
The Macro Shaper Options menu also offers options for saving and recalling Macro Shaper presets, as well as pre-defined curves to help you get started. There are also a number of quantization options provided to suit your various needs; from smooth and free-running, to grid-snapped blocks, these additional editing options provide flexibility and inspiration for utilizing the full potential of the Macro controls.
Macro Shaper Options Menu: Opens the Macro Options menu, which provides a range of tools and options for editing the Macro Curve Shaper and managing your Macro Shaper presets. This menu also contains predefined curve shapes, which you can conveniently recall when needed.
Copy and Paste: Options that allow you to copy the Macro Shaper Curve of the currently selected parameter, and paste it onto other parameters. This is useful for testing Shaper Curves on various parameters, without having to save them as presets.
Shaper Editing Tools: A range of tools that provide various editing functions for creating shapes with the Macro Shaper Curve. Tools include Normalize, Rectify, Fractalize, Soften, and Straighten. Editing tools like Invert, Reverse, and Mirror, allow you to reflect states in the Macro Shaper, providing inspiration and further control over your shapes. Initialize allows you to reset the Macro Shaper Curve to its default state.
Is there any way to put the spell Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger in a castsequnece macro? My macro looks like this. #showtooltip /castsequence Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger, Touch of Death I tried using the spell Id as well but had no luck.
hi fellow champs! to cast SEF and Fists of Fury in the same global on ONE target we need a castsequence macro which should look like this: /castsequence Storm, Earth, and Fire, Storm, Earth, and Fire, Fists of Fury this is not possible right...
In macro photography, the photographer captures images of an object that is positioned very close to the lens. The resulting image shown on the camera sensor is anywhere from nearly as big as the actual object, or several times greater than life-sized!
This practice requires my total attention and concentration. Thus, it is fairly meditative, an escape, and I can lose myself in it. It is so good for my soul, in ways I could not have anticipated. I am learning to produce images with my camera, but also learning to appreciate detail with my own eye, sans camera. Practicing with the lens has simply helped me see.
I love my photography, but the real sustenance of my self-care and soul lies foremost in my walks with Jesus, with the goal of increasing our closeness. I walked with Him on the road to Emmaus one morning in my prayer. Later that afternoon, I encounter him again, but this time adoring, as Fr. Viet processes the Eucharist through the Ascension parking lots in a beautiful act of humble service.
With this macro i used to be able to press alt+Q to earthshield party1 but now
that they released the talent where you can have multiple earth shields in the party
this macro simply places the earth shield on myself over and over, completely ignoring party1.
There were some macro targeting issues on beta but I thought they resolved them. If not, you might try messing with the mouseover and auto self cast boxes in the interface. I think implementation of that stuff is what messed up targeting macros.
The Macro Poverty Outlook (MPO) analyzes macroeconomic and poverty developments in 148 developing countries. The report is released twice annually for the Spring and Annual Meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The MPO consists of individual country notes that provide an overview of recent developments, forecasts of major macroeconomic variables and poverty during 2024-2026, and a discussion of critical challenges for economic growth, macroeconomic stability, and poverty reduction moving forward.
Indeed macro or close-up photography does require a certain amount of specialized gear for capturing small subjects in the field or in the studio. The best option is a true macro lens, built to shoot close and maintain high optical standards for resolution and edge-to-edge sharpness. If just venturing into the world of macro, you may not wish to invest right away in a dedicated macro lens. Thankfully there are accessories for making lenses we have focus much closer and function like a macro lens.
Extension tubes are a great first choice; making just about any lens focus closer and making the lens suitable for any macro work. Extension tubes are hollow, containing no optics: there is no loss of optical quality, but there is some loss of light. Extension tubes fit between the camera body and lens, effectively moving the lens further from the sensor, thus improving minimum focusing distance. Modern cameras adjust exposure automatically to compensate for the reduced light. Extension tubes are often sold in sets of three and at varying lengths. In simple terms, the longer the extension tube, the closer you can focus. Keep in mind that multiple tubes may be stacked together for maximum magnification. In my experience a 25mm tube is the single most useful tube in my bag.
