Native Instruments Maschine User Manual

A MIDI CC assignment for the current Parameter page.
A few host automation assignments for the current Parameter page.
The following paragraphs describe in more details how to assign MIDI controls and host auto-
mation IDs to MASCHINE parameters.
Which MASCHINE Parameters Are Automatable?
All the automatable parameters are found in Plug-ins or Channel properties (e.g., you cannot
automate the Pattern Length or the color of a Scene). In the software in Mix view, this means
that all automatable parameters are found in some Parameter page of the Control area.
In order to be automatable, parameters of Plug-ins and Channel properties have to meet one
single requirement:
▪ In order to be automatable, a parameter must be controlled by a knob or a button in the soft-
ware — most parameters controlled by selectors (e.g., for selecting an operating mode or a
filter type) cannot be automated.
Almost all parameters meeting this requirement are automatable, the only exceptions being:
Audio Routing, Remote Control, and Macro Controls
