User Manual

The Zone settings in the software.
The various sections always display the values for the focused Zone.
If the MASCHINE window is not wide enough to display all Zone settings at once, a hori-
zontal bar appears underneath to scroll to the desired section of parameters.
Following parameters are available:
(1) PLAY RANGE section
The parameters in the PLAY RANGE section allow you to adjust the portion of Sample that will
be played back when the Zone is triggered.
Parameter Description
START Adjusts the playback’s start point in the Sample of the focused Zone.
END Adjusts the playback’s end point in the Sample of the focused Zone.
(2) LOOP section
The parameters in the LOOP section allow you to define and adjust a portion that will play in
loop while the note is held.
Parameter Description
ACTIVE Enable this to define a loop in the Sample of the focused Zone. When the
play position reaches the loop, the playback is looped as long as the note
is held. This can be useful to loop either a whole Sample or part of it, e.g.,
to simulate a longer tone. Note: this technique requires that you set the
Sampler’s Type selector to AHD or ADSR on the Pitch / Envelope page (see
↑6.2.2, Page 2: Pitch / Envelope).
START Adjusts the loop’s start point.
END Adjusts the loop’s end point.
XFADE (Crossfade) Allows you to blend a little of the material near the loop start and end
points in order to get a smoother, less abrupt loop. This is particularly
helpful if the loop is inducing any clicks.
Alternatively you can also adjust the loop’ start and end points by dragging the borders of the
loop in the Sample view, and move the entire loop by dragging its title bar.
