User Manual

Event
Events are the individual drum hits or notes that make up a Pattern. In the Pattern Editor,
events are visually represented by rectangles in the Event area. Depending on the current view
in the Pattern Editor, you can see events for all Sounds slots (Group view) or for the focused
Sound slot only (Keyboard view).
Groove Properties
The Groove properties control the rhythmic relationship between events for the selected Group/
Sound or the Master. By shifting some of the events, you can e.g. give a shuffling, ternary
touch to your Patterns.
Group
A Group contains 16 Sound slots. In addition to the effects applied to individual Sounds, a
Group can have its own insert effect loaded in its Plug-in slots. These affect all the Sounds in
the Group. A Group can also contain any number of Patterns (grouped into banks of 16 Pat-
terns each).
Group View
Group view is the view of the Pattern Editor that shows events for all 16 Sound slots of the
selected Group. In Group view each row of the Event area represents a different Sound slot.
This mode is well suited for rhythmic instruments (e.g., a drum kit). The Group view of the Pat-
tern Editor and the Group mode of the pads on your controller are bound together: If you ena-
ble Group view in the Pattern Editor, the pads of your controller automatically switch to Group
mode, and inversely.
Insert Effect
An insert effect is an effect directly inserted in the signal path of the audio to be processed.
Instance
You can run several instances of the MASCHINE plug-in simultaneously in your host environ-
ment — the only limit being the resources of your computer! At any time you can switch the
focus of your hardware controller between the plug-in instances. You can even use different
controllers (e.g., a MASCHINE MK2 controller and a MASCHINE MIKRO MK2 controller) to
control different plug-in instances.
