Setting up knob macros

This walkthrough configures a Control Change macro on knob 1, macro row 0. The same navigation applies to every macro mode — only the parameter grid changes after you pick a mode.

1. Select a knob on Perform

Turn the encoder Use the encoder to highlight the knob you want to configure.

Perform — knob 1 selected

2. Enter edit mode

Press Select (short) Press Select to open edit mode. Macro rows 0–3 appear on the left with the selector strip.

Edit mode — macro rows visible

3. Choose a macro row

Turn the encoder Turn the encoder to move the selector between macro rows 0–3, knob name, project name, and BPM.

Macro row 0 selected

4. Open the macro grid

Press Select (short) Press Select again to open that macro’s parameter grid.

Macro grid — CC mode

5. Set the mode and parameters

StepAction
ModeTurn the encoder Turn encoder to pick CC, Device parameter, S32 LFO, SysEx, etc. Each mode has its own reference page.
Minimum / MaximumEndpoints mapped to knob travel.
MSB / LSB / ChannelMIDI addressing (mode-specific).
OutputsUSB and DIN port mask for MIDI modes.
InvertReverse knob direction when needed.

Example: CC mode with MSB 74 (filter cutoff), channel 1, outputs USB + Out 1.

6. Exit and play

Press Back (short) Press Back to leave the macro grid, then Back again to exit edit mode. Turn the knob — the macro sends MIDI (or routes internally) according to your settings.

TIP

Macro edits in the grid are committed when you leave the grid with Press Back (short) Back. Leaving edit mode without backing out of the grid first keeps those changes.
