Swing
Adjusts the amount by which some events are shifted. At 0 % events are
not shifted. Raise the
Swing
value to increase the strength of the effect.
Cycle
Determines on what musical resolution the Swing is applied. This directly
affects which events will be shifted. Values are measured in fractions of a
whole note. The default value is 1/8.
Invert
Allows you to invert the Swing function so that instead of being delayed in
the Pattern events will be triggered ahead of time.
You will find an example illustrating how Swing affect the rhythm in section

Group – Macro Properties (MCR) and Macro Controls
Macro Controls enable you to control selected parameters using eight knobs per Group. Macro
Controls have following benefits:
▪
They are useful for playing live since you can choose a set of parameters from various
Sounds in the Group and from the Group itself to manipulate on one screen without hav-
ing to switch screens.
▪
Macro Controls also allows you to automate MASCHINE parameters and third-party VST/
AU plug-ins using the host automation of your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). All MA-
SCHINE Macro Controls are visible for hosts and automation can be recorded in your host
for each MASCHINE Macro Control. Please refer to the manual of your DAW software for
more information.
▪
In addition, Macro Controls also allow you to control parameters through external MIDI
controllers using MIDI CCs.
▪
Finally, like any other parameter at the Sound and Group level, you can record them as
automation in a Pattern (for more information on that, see section
).
Please refer to section
4.4.1, Selecting a Set of Properties
to know how to access the Macro
Properties of a Group.
