⇨ The parameter is assigned as a Macro and you can see your assignments by selecting
Macro in the Channel properties and selecting the Macro level (MASTER, GROUP or
SOUND) where you assigned the Macro Control.
4. To remove a Macro, right-click the parameter again and select Remove Macro.
→ The selected Macro is removed.
Assigning Macro Controls Using the Pages Pane
Assigning Macro Controls is done in the Pages pane of the Assignment area when the Macro
properties are selected. The procedure is similar to the procedure used when assigning param-
eters of VST/AU plug-ins to Parameter pages in MASCHINE (see section ↑7.3.3, Setting Up
Your Own Parameter Pages).
Opening the Pages Pane in the Assignment Area
First of all, you need to open the Pages pane of the Assignment area for Macro properties. To
do this:
1. Select the Macro properties of the desired channel (Sound, Group, or Master) as descri-
bed in section ↑3.3.9, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in
the Control Area.
2. Click the down-pointing arrow in the bottom left corner of the Control area to reveal the
Assignment area underneath:
3. Click the Pages tab in the left part of the Assignment area:
→ The Pages tab lights up and the Pages pane appears on its right. You are now ready to
assign Macro Controls to parameters.
