The Macro properties (here for a Sound) on the controller.
Please refer to section ↑3.3.9, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the
Control Area to know how to access the Macro properties in the software and from your controller.
12.3.1 Macro Control Overview
Each Macro Control can be assigned to one destination with the full range of the selected pa-
rameter. On the other hand, the same parameter can be the destination of more than one Mac-
ro Control.
To know which parameters you can assign to a Macro Control, consider this single rule:
A Macro Control of a channel can control any parameter located in the properties or Plug-ins of that
channel or of any underlying channel. In other words:
▪ For Sounds: You can assign the Macro Controls of a Sound to any parameters in its proper-
ties or Plug-ins. It is also possible to assign MIDI Control Change messages, Pitchbend and
Program Changes to Macro Controls in order to control external MIDI devices.
▪ For Groups: You can assign the Macro Controls of a Group to any parameters in its proper-
ties or Plug-ins as well as any parameters in any Sound inside the Group.
▪ For the Master: You can assign the Macro Controls to any parameters found in the proper-
ties or Plug-ins of any channel in your Project.
Obviously, the Macro properties (even of a different channel) are not available as targets for any
Macro Control.
