9.5 Automating Effects and Sampler Parameters
One of the really cool features of MASCHINE is the ability to easily automate parameters from
the effect Modules and Sampler Modules.
Hardware
► To automate a parameter with the MASCHINE hardware controller, first make sure the song
is playing, then simply turn one of the 8 Knobs while holding down the AUTO WRITE button.
→ Your automation gets recorded now.
► If you want to discard it and try again, press ERASE, hold it and turn the knob again to
delete the Automation of this parameter.
It is also possible to record automation in the Step Sequencer.
1. Enter the Step Sequencer by pressing the STEP button.
2. Hold the pad representing the Step you want to automate and turn one of the knobs with
the parameter you want to record Automation for.
Software
If you take a closer look at the knobs on the Parameter pages you will notice they have an outer
ring.
► You can record Automation by moving that ring with a left click on it and then dragging it
up and down.
► To remove the Automation, simply right-click (on Mac: [Ctrl]+click) on that outer ring.
