MASCHINE 1.5 Reference Manual – 112
6.1.8 Recording automation
One of the really cool features of MASCHINE is the ability to automate parameters from the
FX Modules and the Sampler Modules both on the hardware and on the software in a very
easy way.
►
To automate a parameter with the hardware, rst make sure the song is playing, then
simply turn one of the 8 Knobs while holding down AUTO WRITE (F2).
Your automation gets recorded now; if you want to discard it and try again, press ERASE,
hold it and again turn the Knob you used to record automation to delete its Automation.
SHIFT+Pad 10 (CLR AUTOMATION) deletes all selected Automation events; if none are
selected, all Automation of the Pattern will be cleared.
Almost all Knob parameters including the Macro Controls are automatable, exceptions being:
• Limiter
• Destination Controls
• Reverse parameters
Some of the Buttons are automatable:
• Reverb Freeze
• Maximizer Turbo
• Freq Shifter Invert
• Flanger Invert
• Grain Delay Reverse
• Distortion Gate
The only select box that is automatable is the Swing Cycle.
