Isn't possible to change keymap and Chroma effect using Synapse 4's macros?

I want a Synapse macros that (of my Tartarus V2) switch to another keymap and also switch to a different Chroma effect for each keymap. Given that the commands SWITCH KEYMAP and SWITCH CHROMA EFFECT cannot be inserted in macros, I've tried the following workaround.

  • In each keymap I've mapped a key (e.g. key 01 of Tartarus) to SWITCH KEYMAP (from keymap 1 to keymap 2, from keymap 2 to keymap 3 and from keymap 3 to keymap 1)
  • In each keymap I've also mapped another key (e.g. key 02 of Tartarus) to SWITCH CHROMA EFFECT, i.e. a different Chroma effect for each keymap (e.g. "static orange" in keymap 1, "static green" in keymap 2, "static blue" in keymap 3).
  • I've created a macro in which I've recorded they keys mapped above (e.g., on Tartarus: "press key 01, release key 01, press key 02, release key 02").
  • In each keymap I've mapped a third key (e.g. "ALT" key on Tartarus) to that macro.

When I press myself the keys, they work (e.g. in keymap 1: pressing key 01 changes the keymap to 2 and then pressing key 02 changes the chroma effect to "static green").

But when I use the macros, instead of getting the execution of the commands mapped to the keys, I get the Razer default values of those keys.

Am I doing something wrong or there is something wrong in Synapse 4 (or Tartarus V2)?
