▪ A modulation track is created for this parameter in the Modulation pane of the Control
area (at the bottom of the Pattern Editor) containing the modulation points you have just
recorded. You can further edit the modulation track from there — see section ↑7.5.3, Cre-
ating and Editing Modulation in the Control Lane.
Removing Modulation
You can also use the outer ring to remove the entire modulation for the knob:
►
To remove the entire modulation for a knob, simply right-click (on Mac OS X: [Ctrl]+click)
its outer ring.
You can also create and edit modulation tracks directly in the Control Lane. See section
↑7.2.2, The Record Prepare Mode for more information.
7.5.2.1 Recording Modulation on the MASCHINE STUDIO Controller
To modulate a parameter with the controller:
1. First make sure the song is playing (PLAY must be lit) and your controller is in Control
mode (CHANNEL or PLUG-IN must be lit, if it’s not please press either of them).
2. Navigate to the parameter you want to modulate. To do this, put the focus on the desired
Group or Sound (see ↑2.3.1, Setting the Focus on a Group or a Sound), navigate to the
desired Plug-in or set of Channel properties, and finally to the Parameter page containing
that parameter (see ↑2.3.3, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pa-
ges in the Control Area).
3. Hold AUTO to enter Auto-write mode.
At the bottom of the displays, parameters that can not be modulated will disappear.
Among the remaining parameters (that can be modulated), the value of each continuous
parameter is replaced by a percentage.
4. While holding AUTO, turn the desired Knob 1–8 under the displays to adjust the deviation
to the actual value as you see fit.
→
Your modulation gets recorded now. Each Knob movement is stored in your Pattern as an
modulation event. It will be automatically played with your Pattern upon its next cycle.
