8 Audio Routing, Remote Control, and Macro Controls
This chapter describes a few important topics and features of MASCHINE’s routing and assign-
ment system. Understanding these will be of great help in numerous MASCHINE workflows:
▪ We will explain how MASCHINE’s audio routing works and how to take advantage of its
flexibility: ↑8.1, Audio Routing in MASCHINE.
â–ª We will describe how to route MIDI signals to and from your Sounds and Groups, and how
to control MASCHINE parameters via MIDI and host automation: ↑8.2, Using MIDI Control
and Host Automation.
â–ª We will show how to use the powerful Macro Controls to greatly improve your live experi-
ence by putting the desired parameters at your fingertips: ↑8.3, Creating Custom Sets of
Parameters with the Macro Controls.
The Channel Properties
Most of the features described here can be accessed via the Channel properties. Channel prop-
erties are global settings that apply to a particular Sound, Group, or to the Master independ-
ently of which Plug-ins are loaded in its Plug-in slots.
Channel properties are organized into four sets. Similar sets of properties are available for all
channels (Sounds, Groups, and Master): Input properties (unavailable for the Master), Output
properties, Groove properties, and Macro properties.
You can access Channel properties and their parameters via the same procedure as for Plug-
ins, both in the software and from your controller. Please refer to section ↑2.3.4, Navigating
Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the Control Area for a detailed descrip-
tion.
The Input properties, Output properties, and Macro properties are covered in the following sec-
tions. For more information on the Groove properties, please refer to section ↑5.4.3, Groove.
