Macros node
Macro XY
A 2D performance pad — grab it with a mouse or trackpad to fling two parameters around at once, live. It can also record a path you drag out and loop it back for hands-free, repeating motion.
What it does
Macro XY 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 X to a filter cutoff and Y to Glitch amount, then perform both with one finger.
