Perform Overview

Mapping and Controlling Parameters with PERFORM


PERFORM is the S4’s global macro control, offering a central hub for managing parameters from a single interface. Creating custom macros is simple, giving you the flexibility to tailor the S4 to your unique creative needs. PERFORM features 8 slider macros and 4 action macros for custom mappings.


Perform View

All PERFORM functionality is accessed through the Perform View, which is opened using the dedicated button on the S4’s front panel.

PERFORM Macro Behaviour

To understand how PERFORM macros interact with the S4’s architecture, there are a few key points to consider:

  • Relative Control: PERFORM macros act relatively to existing parameter values and modulation. This means they add to, rather than replace, current settings. This allows for expressive, layered control.

  • Project-Wide Mapping: PERFORM macros are project-dependent and apply across all scenes within a project. For example, a macro mapped to a parameter on Track 1 in Scene 001 will also affect Track 1 in Scene 002, Scene 003, and so on. See Data Structure section to learn more.

  • Unique Modulators: Like the Mix View and the individual Tracks, PERFORM features its own set of four modulators that can be used to dynamically control and automate the 8 slider macros.
