We hope this has helped to shine some light on those little SC boxes in NI Massive. This is great tool to find those small bits of sound in more minute modulation setups. So now the Macro knob moves between the min and max points of the LFO modulation ring. This is because the sidechained Macro controller will now control modulation only within the parameters assigned to the LFO itself.
But now you may want to reprogram the first Modulator, an LFO in the video.
This assigns the minimum and maximum destinations. In case any of you are not familiar with Native Instruments Maschine, the concept bears reiterating, especially because the Mk2 update is more of an evolutionary than revolutionary update. To engage with sidechaining at this point, you need to select a direction you wish to want to turn the Macro knob. It will regenerate it's database and the new presets will now appear. Restart your DAW and load an instance of MASSIVE X.
Read this article to learn how to display hidden folders on Windows. And when you attempt to turn the Macro knob assigned, nothing changes. C: > Users > Username > AppData > Local > Native Instruments Note: 'AppData' is a hidden folder. If you had a modulation range programmed already, it disappears. But once you click on SC, it changes entirely. As you can see, at first the sidechain feature is not active and therefore can simply be used as another modulator slot. In and amongst all of this rapid evolution, the name Native Instruments stands out as perhaps the best representation for where DJing is headed, with the German brand’s beloved Traktor Kontrol line (and accompanying Traktor Pro software) serving as the de-facto setup for a generation of MP3 hoarding beat selectors. To help illustrate this in the easiest way possible, a Macro controller is used in the SC slot. This is an incredibly powerful concept to apply to your production work in your DAW, and now you will be able access it here in Massive as well. The SC modulation box, found under many of the knobs, is how you work with sidechaining in Massive and this lesson explores exactly how you go about it and how it works. There are several key features scattered throughout NI Massive that are continually asked about by students and commenters alike.
