Macros

Macros are user-defined control knobs that provide quick, unified access to multiple device parameters.

Macro Panel

Layout

Each track has 16 macro knobs organized across 2 pages (8 knobs per page). Macros are visible in the track's device chain and in the Inspector when the track is selected.

Range

All macro knobs output a normalized 0–1 range. The mapping to each target parameter's actual range is handled by the modulation link (see Linking Parameters).

Naming

  • Click a macro label to rename it (e.g., "Filter Cutoff", "Drive Amount")
  • Names are displayed on the knob and in the modulation matrix

Assigning Parameters

To connect a macro to a parameter:

  1. Enter link mode (see Linking Parameters)
  2. Select the macro as the modulation source
  3. Click the target parameter
  4. Adjust the modulation amount and polarity

A single macro can control multiple parameters simultaneously — for example, one "Brightness" knob could increase filter cutoff, reduce reverb wet, and boost high-shelf EQ gain at the same time.

Driving Modulators

A macro can also target a modulator's Rate instead of a device parameter — turn the macro and you turn the LFO speed. Same workflow:

  1. Right-click the macro and pick the modulator from Link to Parameter… → Modulators, or
  2. Use link mode and click the modulator's Rate slider as the target.

Macro 1 mapped to LFO 1 Rate

In the screenshot, Macro 1 at 0.20 is dialling LFO 1's Rate down. As the macro turns, the LFO speed follows. Combine with traditional parameter links and a single knob can sweep filter cutoff, reduce reverb send, and slow the LFO that's wobbling the pitch — all at once.

Use Cases

  • Map the most important synth parameters to a few knobs for live performance
  • Create unified controls that coordinate multiple effects at once
  • Expose simple controls for complex multi-device setups
  • Use a macro as a "tempo" or "intensity" control that drives an LFO's rate alongside the parameters it modulates
