User Manual

If the VOLUME, SWING, or TEMPO button is active in the Edit section above (see ↑2.2.1.2,

Edit Section), hold a Group button and turn the Encoder to change the volume, tune or swing

for that individual Group. For more details on this, see ↑3.3.1, Adjusting Volume, Swing, and

Tempo.

(4) AUTO button: In MASCHINE, modulation of almost any parameter on the Sound and Group

level is achieved with one-touch simplicity. Press and hold the AUTO button while turning the

Encoder to record modulation for the selected parameter.

(5) LOCK button: Press LOCK at any time to create a snapshot of all modulable parameters in

your Project. Subsequently, change any of these parameters during your performance or studio

session, then press the dim lit LOCK button again to recall the snapshot with the original pa-

rameter values. Lock is a powerful tool for extensive modulations, but also very useful to com-

pare mixes, or to switch up snapshots during a live performance.

(6) NOTE REPEAT button: Note Repeat is a convenient way to play, record beats, and melodies.

When your pads are in Pad Mode, the Note Repeat engine repeats the selected Sound auto-

matically at a given rate. When your pads are in Keyboard or Chord mode, NOTE REPEAT pro-

vides instead access to the flexible and versatile arpeggiator to play Sounds in note sequences.

The arpeggios are created according to both the pads you hold and the scale and chords you

have configured. Press SHIFT + NOTE REPEAT (Arp) to directly switch your pads in Keyboard

mode and activate the Arp engine. To use Note Repeat you must press and hold it, but in Arp

mode it is automatically pinned. To learn more about Note Repeat, see Using Note Repeat.
