Page Parameters Parameter Description
Swing
Swing Groups can have an individual Swing value independent of the Global
Swing and Swing settings applied to individual Sounds. Swing allows for
rhythmic shifting of a Pattern to create a “shuffled” feel. This effect is also
found in vintage drum machines and is often used in various genres of
dance music and Hip-Hop. Increasing this parameter increases the
strength of the effect.
Cycle This determines on what musical resolutions the Swing is applied. The de-
fault value is 1/8.
Invert This button allows you to invert the Swing function so the note position of
the Swing is switched in the opposite direction.
5.1.3 Page 3: Macro Controls
Macro controls enable you to control selected parameters using eight knobs per Group. This is
useful for playing live since you can choose a set of parameters to manipulate on one screen
without having to switch screens, but also allows you to automate MASCHINE parameters and
third party VST/AU plug-ins using the host automation of your DAW (Digital Audio Worksta-
tion). All MASCHINE Macro Controls are visible for hosts and automation can be recorded in
