your host for each MASCHINE Macro controller. Please refer to the manual of your DAW soft-
ware for more information. In addition, Macro controls also allow you to control parameters
through external MIDI controllers using MIDI CCs. Finally, you can record them as automation
in a Pattern (for more information on that, see section ↑7.2.5, Recording and Editing Automa-
tion). To assign Macro controls you must use the MASCHINE software.
The Macro controls on the software.
Assigning a Parameter to a Macro Control
The Macro controls are assigned using the MASCHINE software. Each Macro control can be as-
signed to one destination with the full range of the selected parameter. Macro controls are bi-
polar knobs with a range of -100% to +100% (0% is centre). It is possible to assign any mod-
ulatable parameters in the Group Modules (1-4) as well as any modulatable parameter on any
Sound inside the Group. Choose any controllable parameter of your Group or the Sounds con-
tained in it and right-click (on Mac OS X: [Ctrl]-click) on it:
Assigning the Tune parameter of a Sound to a Macro control.
Now choose one of the available Macro controls 1-8. After assignment is made, a blue dot
shows that the parameter is assigned to a Macro control:
