# Macros

***

### Overview

The Macro Controls provide the primary performance and sound-shaping controls for the currently loaded preset.

Each Macro is assigned to multiple controls inside of the synth engine based on the selected preset, allowing you to transform, animate, and customize sounds in ways that are meaningful to that specific patch. Exploring these controls is often the quickest way to uncover a preset's full creative potential.

### 1. Macro Randomization Button

The **Dice** icon generates random variations of the current Macro settings.

Unlike loading a completely different preset, Macro Randomization creates new combinations of the four Macro controls while preserving the core character of the loaded sound. This makes it easy to discover fresh variations, unexpected textures, and new sonic directions with a single click.

### 2. Macro Knobs

**Macro 1**, **Macro 2**, **Macro 3**, and **Macro 4** are assigned to preset-specific sets of parameters that shape and transform the sound in unique ways depending on the selected preset.

Each Macro can be adjusted by dragging its control or by entering numerical values directly, providing both expressive real-time control and precise parameter adjustment.
