Parameter Description
Swing
Swing
Groups can have an individual Swing value independent of the Global
Swing and Swing settings applied to individual Sounds. Swing allows for
rhythmic shifting of a Pattern to create a “shuffled” feel. This effect is also
found in vintage drum machines and is often used in various genres of
dance music and Hip-Hop. Increasing this parameter increases the
strength of the effect.
Cycle
This determines on what musical resolutions the Swing is applied. The de-
fault value is 1/8.
Invert
This button allows you to invert the Swing function so the note position of
the Swing is switched in the opposite direction.

Page 3: Macro Controls
Macro controls enable you to control selected parameters using eight knobs per Group. This is
useful for playing live since you can choose a set of parameters to manipulate on one screen
without having to switch screens, but also allows you to automate MASCHINE parameters and
third party VST/AU plug-ins using the host automation of your DAW (Digital Audio Worksta-
tion). All MASCHINE Macro Controls are visible for hosts and automation can be recorded in
