6.3 Modulating Effect Parameters
One of the really cool features of MASCHINE is the ability to modulate parameters from the
Control area in a very easy way — both from the controller and in the software. Modulating a
parameter means recording an offset to its value over time in order for these changes to be
played back again automatically in your song. The modulation data is saved into the current
Pattern. As an example, you could use this to create a filter sweep played in loop with your
Pattern.
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!
