Macros are where you can assign various Matrix 12 parameters to a set of 4 Macro knobs, then changing the position of those knobs will affect those assigned parameters. These assignments can be as simple (ie with a single parameter applied) or complex, with multiple parameters applied at different values.

<aside> ⚠️

Macros and modulation sources both use crosshairs and the drag and drop mechanism for assignment. However, they are two distinct systems that do not overlap.

To apply a parameter to a specific Macro knob:

1. Click and drag the crosshair icon to the lower right of the desired Macro knob, and drop it onto the parameter you wish to control with that Macro knob. As you pick up the crosshair, available destinations will show a yellow highlight ring or box on them. The yellow highlight will flash to confirm the assignment.
2. To adjust this amount, right-click and drag up or down. You’ll see a yellow corona fill the inner knob accordingly. This corona indicates the amount of control the macro knob applies to the parameter.

<aside> ⚠️ The glowing markings and macro indicator lines will disappear when the macro is not in immediate use. They’ll display again when you click on a macro knob.

<aside> ⚠️ A macro can control any number of parameters. However, each parameter can only be controlled by a single macro knob.

You can right-click on the macro knob, or its label, to bring up a list of connected parameters and remove any parameters via the arrow adjacent to its name and the aptly named ‘remove’ text.

As we explained earlier, the Macro section can be used to create simple or highly complex set ups. And because Macro knobs can also be controlled by MIDI CC’s, the performance possibilities are vast.

<aside> ⚠️ It is not possible to assign macro control to a modulation depth directly. Try assigning to to the module’s amp knob instead.
