I think you mean Macro's

You can download and install them directly from the browser inside Studio One. You have to have an active account, just click on the Servers tab and then click on the Exchange server and sign in.

Find what you want to install and click on it and then the Install button at the bottom of the browser.

Edit: Of course, this is assuming you have already installed the Macro bar.

Where can i download the macro bar ? Is it on the Exchange ?

That's great....I'm always glad to help when I can!

Thanks, I had no idea that existed.

May I add for those that follow that to get to the Servers tab you must first open a song (why?), then click Browse and then Files in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Because Servers are listed under Files.

(After ten minutes of random button pushing to find Servers I failed and had to read the manual. Maybe it's because I'm a beginner, but shouldn't something as global as an internet macro exchange be located in a global window?)

Well, aren't Macros, PreSets, Sound Set etc files?

I think they are.......

Sure they are, you're quite right. But on every computer system I've ever seen, files are found on servers, not a Server located underneath a button named Files. It's not technically broken, because it works if you can find it, but that hierarchy of buttons runs so counter to the norm that I never even considered clicking Files until the manual told me I had to. (On the plus side, the manual did have the answer...)

That's my error, but it's also a usability failure unless the software is designed only for people smarter than me, which I like to think it wasn't. So I left a general warning for the next guy who reads your helpful answer but can't find the Server tab. I honestly doubt I'll be the only one!

When I told the OP to click on the Servers tab, it wasn't my intention to drive anyone nuts looking for it

When I get a new software program, the first thing I do is explore the interface and see what is what and where things are....But maybe that's just me.

I also, only read the manual when I am trying to do something that I haven't been able to figure out on my own. If the answer isn't in the manual, then I come here and see if one of the long time users can help me sort it out. Or I look for a video tutorial, or both.

I appreciate the fact that you left a message to elucidate others, I just don't think it was necessary to blame Studio One and the interface for some perceived poor design.

Trying to figure out this macro thing...

But there is nothing under/inside Exchange in my S1. I am signed in, but when I try to open/expand Servers - Exchange there is nothing!

Any ideas?

Exchange seems to be hit & miss whether its running or not.

Just out of interest when I attempt to open Exchange I get nothing either and the Sign In tab below is darkened out and it wont let me sign in. (From Strudio One that is)

I can get to Exchange through the website no worries and log in and download things from there. Just a more roundabout way of getting there. Have others experienced this and is there a solution.

I can't help but say i love the puppy dog face in your avatar! He is beggin for some bacon!
