Perform: what are your initial thoughts?

I disagree, because making macros is like making sheet music. Plus with the <wait> command, you would be able to manually create rests and time. Then, if everyone had matching sheet music, you could easily make a chamber group without worrying about latency.

Latency remains in effect regardless of macros. There's no getting around that unless you have some ungodly low ping to the servers. From the few games that support this type of feature, you have to have pretty low ping to make use of a macro, be it third party or not, in order for it to work well. If you had say, 20ms or less ping, you could probably get away with using macros reliably, but we all know that's a very small portion of ffxiv players.

It'd take into account human differences if a group wants to play the same song together.

Sometimes we tap differently in speed.

Agreed but that isn't what we're talking about here. We are referring to macros, which are automated and "human differences" have no impact on.

I'm stating a Macro would remove human differences to allow people to play the same thing together...

So yes that is what we're talking about right? Since the Latency part you state wouldn't be why macro's are good, I just wanted to point out how it keeps the rhythm correct.

This wasn't what I was hoping for when SE decided to only give us one dungeon a patch to focus on new content >.>

Well other than Ultimate, what were you expecting?

Someone has it down pretty well. Simply awesome. I wish macro's were an option cause I could never do this.

Yeah... I would say that is a midi file + keyboard macro software.

What I would like would be for us to be able to use our Orchestrion List and just have our bard play songs from that for those of us with no musical talent.
