There's the rub ... if you load new values to Macro 1 - Macro 8 your multi-state macro *will no longer work correctly*. The multi-state macros work by *assigning new values* to the key every time you press it. If you change the contents of Macro 1 - Macro 8 the new value of Macro 'n' will be assigned to the key - not what is expected by the multi-state macro. 73, ...
