Macro

One big knob that turns many parameters at once

Open in the synth with a demo patch Open Modular

What it does

Macro is simply a knob that outputs its position as CV from 0 to 1. The point is the cables: connect the output to a dozen parameters, give each cable its own amount (negative ones too), and a single turn opens the filter, shortens the delay time and pushes the voice across the stereo field all at once. It is a knob for live performance, for when you want to move the whole patch with one gesture.

Try this

Link Macro to several controls and reshape the whole patch with one move.

Parameters

Value

Try this

Macro → Filter Cutoff at 0.6 and → Delay Time at −0.1: one turn opens the filter and shortens the echo.
Macro → Pan Pan and → VCA Gain: the voice moves right and gets louder at the same time, as if it were approaching.
Set Macro to 0 and slowly bring it to 1 while recording: a live build-up from a single knob.
