Once you have set a custom color for a Scene as described above, the Scene will retain its
color when you move it in the Arranger (or in the Scene Manager), and the color will be
stored with the Scene when you save your Project. Note that you can select the same color
as the one used by default: In that case the color (even unchanged) will be considered as a
custom color and will follow the Scene as you move it.
13.2.8 Moving Scenes
Reordering Scenes is essential to organize your Scenes and arrange your song.
In the software you can move Scenes both in the Arranger and in the Scene Manager.
To move Scenes:
1. Click and hold the Scene name (in the Arranger) or the Scene slot (in the Scene Manag-
er).
2. While holding the mouse button, drag your mouse horizontally (in the Arranger) or verti-
cally (in the Scene Manager) toward the desired location.
As the mouse cursor moves, an insertion line appears at the potential places where you
can drop the Scene.
3. When the insertion line appears at the desired location, release the mouse button.

The Scene takes its new place. On your controller in Scene mode, you can now select this
Scene via the pad corresponding to its new location.
In the Scene Manager, you can also:
▪ Drop the Scene slot onto another slot: the current Scene in that slot will be replaced (if
any).
▪ Drag a Scene from the pad grid (on the right) onto the slot list (on the left), and inversely!
13.2.8.1 Moving Scenes on the MASCHINE STUDIO Controller
To moves Scenes on your controller:
1. Press and hold SCENE to enter Scene mode (you can pin it by pressing Button 1).
2. Press Button 7 and 8 to select the Scene bank containing the Scene you want to move.
3. Press the pad of the Scene you want to move. Alternatively you can select the Scene by
pressing the Page buttons.
4. Turn Knob 1 (Position) to move the selected Scene to another position in your arrangement.
