2. Upon your selection in the previous menu, the menu takes the name of your selection,
and another menu may appear to the right which allows you to refine your search (e.g., by
listing all Parameter pages of the selected Plug-in or Channel properties). This continues
until a parameter is reached and you select it.
→ Upon the selection of a parameter, the Macro Control is assigned to this parameter.
Note that the whole path to this parameter stays visible in the Target selector: this lets you
modify a single selection without starting from the topmost channel and going through the en-
tire selection process again:
► To modify a particular item in the selection shown by the Target selector, click it and se-
lect another item for that level.
→ Items on the left of the selected item (i.e. at a higher level) stay untouched, while items
on its right (i.e. at a lower level) are reset.
Macro Assignment – Context Menu
When the Assignment area is opened and the Pages tab is selected, right-click on an assigned
or unassigned Macro slot to access the context menu.
The Macro properties context menu.
The context menu contains following items:
Audio Routing, Remote Control, and Macro Controls
Creating Custom Sets of Parameters with the Macro Controls
