Selecting a target for the exported Slices.

In this Selection mode, you can choose to export the Slices to a Sound or to a Group.

To export the Slices to a Sound:

1. Select the Group containing the target Sound by pressing its Group button A–H. If your

Project has more than eight Groups, you can use Button 3 and 4 to first select the desired

Group bank.

The selected Group button starts flashing and the corresponding Group is highlighted on

the left display. In addition the pads now represent the Sound slots of that Group.

2. Select the target Sound by pressing its pad.

The Group button stops flashing, the selected pad starts flashing to indicate that it is now

the target, and the corresponding Sound slot is highlighted on the right display.

Press Button 8 (APPLY) to export the Slices.

→

The Slices will be mapped to individual notes of the selected Sound, starting with the

bottom C (C-2 in MASCHINE convention). The base key of the Sound will be set to the

bottom C as well (see section ↑5.1.3, Adjusting the Base Key for more information on the

base key). Any previous content in the Sound will be replaced. Your controller will leave

Sample mode and return to Control mode. The pads will switch to Keyboard mode so that

you can directly play your Slices on the pads. Additionally, depending on the setting of

the Pattern Creation selector in the Slice page of the software, notes will be automatically

created for each Slice (see above for more information).
