The “Save macro” dialog also displays a list of all the articulation parameters. By checking or unchecking boxes in this list, you control which parameters will be included in the macro. The parameters are arranged by category (these are the same categories used to organize the Parameter Window). A blue square next to a category means that all of the parameters in that category will be included. In the illustration below, the macro is being set up to include the entire amplitude envelope, filter, and response curve categories:

For more detailed control, you can expand the categories (click on the “+” symbol beside each category) and select individual parameters. Here we’ve expanded the Mix/Layer category and selected just the Sustain defeat and 6 dB boost parameters.

When you’re ready, click the Save button.
