Events beyond the Pattern’s end can be edited in the software. However, you cannot edit them
from the controller. See section ↑10.4, Editing Events for more information on editing events.
Adjusting the Pattern Length and Arrange Grid on the Controller
On your controller, the length of the selected Pattern, along with the Pattern Grid resolution
used to modify this length, can both be adjusted using various methods: via the Pattern mode,
the Pattern Arrange mode, the Grid mode or the Record Prepare mode. Choose the method that
best fits your current workflow.
Method 1: Using the Pattern mode
In Pattern mode you can adjust the Pattern Length of the current Pattern:
1. Press and hold PATTERN to enter Pattern mode. You can also press PATTERN + Button 1
to pin Pattern mode so you can release PATTERN (see ↑2.3.3, Pinning a Mode on the
Controller).
2. Turn Knob 4 (LENGTH) to adjust the Pattern Length according to the current resolution of
the Pattern Grid.
Method 2: Using the Pattern Arrange mode
In Pattern mode you can adjust the Pattern Length of the current Pattern:
1. Press ARRANGER then Button 2 (PATTERN) to enter Pattern Arrange mode.
2. Turn Knob 4 (LENGTH) to adjust the Pattern Length according to the current resolution of
the Pattern Grid.
Adjusting the Grid
In Grid mode you can adjust the various grids used in MASCHINE, including the Arrange Grid
resolution. The Arrange Grid changes the size of steps by which Section Lengths and Pattern
Lengths can be adjusted.
