Recording Modulation - Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 Getting Started

Modulation is not limited to effects: In MASCHINE, you can modulate just about any
parameter at the Group or Sound level as soon as it has a continuous range of values —
in other terms, almost any parameter controlled by a knob in the Parameter area!

Recording Modulation

Now try to record some simple modulation for the effect parameter of your choice.
7.3.1.1 Recording Modulation in the MASCHINE Software
If you take a closer look at the knobs in the Parameter area you will notice they have an outer
ring. This ring serves for recording modulation:
To record modulation, check that your song is playing, click the outer ring of the desired

knob and then drag it vertically.
Recording modulation for a parameter.
You will note that the colored ring usually representing the current value of the parameter

turned to a colored little dash. This dash follows the movements you just recorded.
To remove modulation, do the following:
To remove the modulation for a parameter, right-click its outer ring.

The dash in the outer ring turns back to the usual indicator for unmodulated parameters.

Locate the Parameter to Modulate
First, if the parameter you want to modulate is not currently visible on the controller displays,
you need to navigate to that parameter:
