Linking the same parameter to more than one Macro Control can be useful in the follow-
ing example: If a parameter of a Sound is particularly important, you can link it to the
same knob in the Macro Controls of that Sound, of its parent Group, and of the Master.
By doing this, you ensure that the parameter is always available on the same knob when
you switch between the Master, Group, and Sound level (but not if you switch to another
Sound or Group, of course).
Macro Control Shortcut on the Controller
On your controller, a dedicated button allows you to quickly access your Macro Controls at any
time:
► Press MACRO in the PERFORMANCE section to directly switch to the Macro Controls of
the focused channel (Sound, Group or Master).
11.3.2 Assigning Macro Controls Using the Software
Macro Controls can be assigned in two different ways. The quickest and easiest way is to cre-
ate a Macro Control directly from a parameter. The other more elaborate method is to use the
Pages Pane in the Assignment Area.
Assigning the Macro Controls is only possible using the software.
Assigning Macro Controls from Parameters
Assigning a parameter as a Macro from a Channel or Plug-in properties is quick and easy. You
can simply right-click ([Ctrl]-click on macOS) a parameter name and select which Macro level
you want to assign it to.
To assign a Macro Control directly from a parameter:
1. Select Channel or Plug-in icon depending on where the parameter you want to assign is
situated.
2. Select the level where the parameter is, this can be on the MASTER, GROUP or SOUND
level.
