Use this dialog to select a number of macros, define the number of times to create each macro, and define the numeration of each created macro. Creating a number macros results in batch creation of loops and instruments. In addition, this dialog displays the status of the macros created, rejected, canceled, and already existing.
The macro batch creation table lists the following:
Select
Indicates whether a macro is selected for batch creation.
Macro name
The macro name.
Macro description

Numbers
The numbers of the created macros. The number is added to the Loop and Instrument tags in the appropriate part of your naming convention. Insert a range (for example, 101-200) to create multiple macros (in this example 100 macros). Inserting a string of letters results in creating a single macro.
