Creating Mappings

Last updated 16 days ago


Selecting a Perform Macro

  1. From any view, hold [PERFORM] and [CTRL]

  2. An overlay will fill the screen, indicating that a Perform Macro can be selected

  3. While holding, tap one of the eight Parameter encoders or one of the four [ACTION] buttons to select a Perform Macro

  4. Let go of [PERFORM] and [CTRL] to return to the previous view


Mapping Device Parameters to a Perform Macro

  1. Navigate to the Device Parameter you want to map to the selected Perform Macro

  2. Hold [PERFORM] to enter Mapping Mode

  3. While holding [PERFORM] adjust the parameter to set the mapping amount

Mapping Perform Macros shares its workflow with the Modulation System.


Visual Indication of Perform Macro Mappings

Both the graphical user interface and the device button LEDs provide clear visual feedback on how Perform Macros are applied to specific parameters. This helps identify which parameters are being modulated at a glance:

  • A small indicator bar appears on the slider of any mapped parameter, reflecting its current value, if the parameter is modulated by a macro.

  • When in Mapping Mode, the [DEVICE] button LEDs light up in pink, if a parameter in the device has been mapped to a Perform Macro.


Mapping Modulator Parameters to a Perform Macro

  1. Navigate to a Track or tap [MIX] to open the Mix View

  2. Tap [MOD] or hold [MOD] and double tap an [ACTION] button to open the Modulation Source View of the desired modulator

  3. Hold [PERFORM] to enter Mapping Mode

  4. While holding [PERFORM] adjust the parameter to set the mapping amount

Since Perform Macros can be modulated by PERFORM’s own set of four modulators, mapping modulator parameters to Perform Macros allows for cross-modulation of modulator settings.


Switching Between UNIPOLAR and BIPOLAR Modes

Perform Macros on the S-4 features two modes: UNIPOLAR and BIPOLAR. You can toggle between these modes to define how a Perform Macro behaves. This is done seamlessly and non-destructively, meaning that mappings made for a Perform Macro prior to changing modes will persist.

  1. Tap [PERFORM] to enter the Perform view

  2. Tap and hold a PARAMETER encoder

  3. While holding switch between UNIPOLAR and BIPOLAR modes for that specific Perform Macro

  4. Release the Parameter Encoder to confirm the selection
