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.
