Variable Macros (MX-950 Only)
This is another method for one button to issue two different macros. One macro is issued when the button is
pressed and a particular variable is “0”, another completely different macro is issued if the button is pressed
and the same variable is now equals “1”.
Variables allow you to track when a particular button has been pressed. Then when another button is pressed,
you can do something different based on the previous button press.
Clever use of variables can enable you to add all kinds of elegant improvements to operation. Here’s an exam-

jector is on.
