8.3 Creating Custom Sets of Parameters with the Macro Controls
Macro Controls enable you to control in one same location a selection of parameters coming
from different sources. Available in every channel (Sounds, Groups, and Master), Macro Con-
trols are very useful for playing live since you can choose a set of parameters from various sour-
ces to manipulate on one screen without having to switch screens.
MASCHINE 1.x owners: In MASCHINE 1.x Macro Controls were additionally used to au-
tomate MASCHINE parameters via MIDI or host automation. This is not the case in MA-
SCHINE 2.0 anymore: automation and Macro Controls now are totally independent. Now
MASCHINE parameters can be directly assigned to MIDI controls or host automation IDs
(as described in section
↑
8.1.4, Configuring the Master and Cue Outputs of MA-
SCHINE ), while Macro Controls are plain shortcuts of the desired parameters, at all lev-
els of MASCHINE, and without any limitation in number.
The Macro Controls are available in the Macro properties.
