why must parameters lose their value when mapped to a macro?

Post by illinx » Thu Feb 08, 2018 8:04 pm

hello,

in a rack, when you map a parameter to a macro-knob, the current parameter-value is overwritten because the "macro-morphing-range" is set to full range: is there any way to change this behaviour?

macro-controllers would be so much more fun if you didn't have to remember the current value and punch it in manually.
on the other hand, if you WANT the mapped parameter to be macro-controlled full range and lose it's current value, it's only one click.

i have done a quick search for this topic on the forum but couldn't find a related thread.
anyway, i apologize if this has been asked before. i was hoping that this might change with live 10, but didn't ...

all the best from vienna

I’d love to see this changed myself.

This is very annoying and shouldn't happen. Ideally on first map macro knob shoudl align to target.
