Recording and Editing Modulation

One of the really cool features of MASCHINE is the ability to modulate nearly all MASCHINE
parameters both on the controller and in the software in a very easy way.
In MASCHINE, modulation means the automatic change of MASCHINE parameters from an in-
ternal source (e.g., manual changes recorded via Auto-write...). Value changes are:
▪ Temporary: The modified value is valid only until the end of the Clip: When the Scene is
looped or when playback is restarted, the parameter value is reset to its non-modulated val-
ue.
▪ Relative (knobs only): For continuous parameters (these parameters are controlled by a ro-
tary knob in the software), the new parameter value is defined as deviation from the actual
value. Note that for selectors and buttons, modulation defines instead absolute values.
Modulation vs. Automation
Although both deal with automatic change of MASCHINE parameters, modulation and automa-
tion have to be distinguished. The following table summarizes the main differences:
