You will notice that the rules for automatable parameters are the same as for modulatable parame-
ters except that modulatable parameters can only be found in Sounds and Groups (not in the Mas-
ter). In other words, at the Sound and Group level the same parameters are both automatable and
modulatable. For more information on modulation please refer to section ↑11.5, Recording and Ed-
iting Modulation.
Also note that your Macro Controls will be automatable if, and only if, the parameters they are
controlling are themselves automatable. For more information on Macro Controls please refer to
section ↑12.3, Creating Custom Sets of Parameters with the Macro Controls.
Assigning Host Automation IDs to Parameters (MASCHINE as Plug-in)
1. Click the down-pointing arrow in the bottom left corner of the Control area to open the
Assignment area underneath.
