Macro knob steps?

Post by cawetzel159 » Sun Sep 29, 2013 6:31 pm

Is there a way to make macro knobs work in steps instead of a smooth transition?

For example I am using a Pitch midi effect I would like it to only change in steps of octaves from say -36 st to -24 to -12 etc. Without going to the values in between.

Is this possible? Or is there any sort of work around?

+1 I've been requesting this feature for a long time.

The workaround is to assign each interval to its own button using Macro Editor Mapping.

You could use a Midi effect rack. Put several pitch plugins with your desired values in it and map the chain selector to a macro knob.

hmm... you could map the macro to a range of keys on your midi keyboard..
The number of keys make the number of steps you'll get...

or maybe try some max shit! :)
