Value changes are:▪ Permanent: The new parameter value stays valid until a new value is defined (via MIDI/hostor manually), even when the playback is looped or restarted.▪ Absolute: The new parameter value is defined regardless of its current value.Automation vs. ModulationAlthough both deal with automatic change of MASCHINE parameters, automation and modula-tion have to be distinguished.
