Macro Slider

A plain 0-to-1 fader — the simplest possible performance control, meant to be grabbed and pushed rather than automated.

What it does

Macro Slider is a macro control: a knob, slider or pad you play by hand and wire to many things. It has no input and gives control signal out, so it starts a chain.

Try it

Map it to Reverb Mix for a single fader that wets or dries the whole patch.
