Native Instruments Absynth 5 Reference Manual page 146

In a case of a corresponding parameter assignment, this permits you to change two values
simultaneously with a single movement. Naturally, this is also the case when you would not
like to change the cursor position of the XY control in real time with a MIDI controller, but
rather use the Automation of your Audio MIDI sequencer.
In order to combine two Sliders to an XY control:
►
Select the entry Make into XY from the menu of a Macro Control. This will allow you to
connect the selected Macro Control with the next Macro Control to an XY control.
In order to dissolve this connection and get back to two independent Sliders:
►
Choose the entry Make into Sliders from the menu.
In the default setting (shown in the Controllers Page after opening a new, empty Preset), the
Macro Controls 15 and 16 are already connected to an XY control and are assigned to con-
trol of global Panning: Use the x-axis to control the right/left position, the y-axis to control
the front/back position. MIDI Learn works in the same way as the "simple" Macro Controls:
Select the entry MIDI Learn from the menu of the XY control.
If you use ABSYNTH 5 as a Plug-in within an audio MIDI sequencer, all Macro Controls are
available as targets for automation information. Information on how to use the Automation in
an audio MIDI sequencer can be found in the handbook delivered with the sequencer.
