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
Editing
Automation).
Please refer to section
Properties of a Group.
