Macros are buggy...

if I want to a assign a macro on a parameter that already is a macro (let's say on page 2 f.e.)
the macro that already existed just disappears and can't be used for a different macro. The slot stays blank.
this is really frustrating!

I want to be able to assign a macro to the same parameter on different macro pages.
Also it would be great to rearrange macro positions (simple left right swap like in the effects would be enough)

ALSO it would be nice if you could map multible parameters to one macro with different ranges.

Another thing that bothers me is the way you clear macros. You have to menu dive and find the parameter to remove the macro, which sucks. Why not simply ERASE→ Touch macro?

    These are not bugs. These controls are not really meant to be 'Macros' - a Macro as you say can combine multiple params. These are direct mappings of the params available in a plugin to the hardware encoders to enable direct control using the keyboard so there is only 1 param per knob

    I do think there are many usability features that could be improved, one is that as you say it is not possible to assign the same param to more than one knob. This shouldn't be a limitation, sure it will mean duplication but sometimes it is useful to have the same param in more than one place in a template. There is no technical barrier to this as I can do that in Bitwig when I create a Device Panel which uses the same approach but in a much more accessible way

    Not sure about the problem you have erasing assignments, you just click the little x above the param that is mapped

    @Kymeia I am using the Maschine Plus.
    If you want to delete a Macro I have to do it from the Hardware. If I do what I describe you end up with empty Slots on your Macro page. That's the bug I am describing.
    And yes the other stuff is usability. However still pretty annoying.

    Sorry you are posting in the Komplete Kontrol forum so I thought you were referring to that
