7.3 Modulating Effect Parameters
 
One  of  the  really  cool  features  of  MASCHINE  is  the  ability  to  modulate  parameters  from  the
Control area in a very easy way — both from the controller and in the software. Modulating a
parameter  means  recording  an  offset  to  its  value  over  time  in  order  for  these  changes  to  be
played back  again  automatically in  your  song.  The  modulation  data  is saved  into  the  current
Pattern.  As  an  example,  you  could  use  this  to  create  a  filter  sweep  played  in  loop  with  your
Pattern.
