Custom Soft Key Issue with 5ms Delay

[vicviper]

Hey guys, I'm trying to create a custom softkey on my S6 that performs the following function...

recalls a memory location that has a selection stored, then performs the "clear all automation" command.

It only works about every tenth time I press the button, which I figure means that it needs some delay in order to work properly. However, I have inserted the special key marked "5ms delay" multiple times in the sequence and it seems to not be working. I know this because I can pull up the Text Edit app and see that the characters are coming out at the exact same speed with or without the multiple 5ms delays programmed in. As far as I can tell, the 5ms delay special key simply does not work. Am I missing something here?

I don't have an S6 but on a system 5 MC, 5 ms wouldn't be enough. I mostly use
100 to 200 ms pause in between each steps when programming soft keys.

I hope that help!

Did you manage to put a longer delay in and get this to work ?
