MASCHINE Project Overview Sound Content 2 MASCHINE Project Overview A MASCHINE Project contains all the information stored with a MASCHINE-produced piece of music. ▪ The Project references all the sound content: the instruments, sounds and samples, and all the effects you apply to them. ▪ The Project also contains the arrangement of your song: how Patterns are built from events which trigger Sounds, and how they are arranged into a song structure using Sections, Scenes and Patterns.
MASCHINE Project Overview Sound Content 1 3 2 The sound content aspect of a MASCHINE Project. ▪ You can load samples or plug-ins to the Sound slots 1–16 (1) in each Group (2). Groups are organized in Banks of eight. ▪ You can influence the sound on these channels: the Project (or Master) channel, the Group channel, and the Sound channel. The relevant controls are situated in the Control area (3), which can be used for accessing Plug-in parameters or Channel properties.
MASCHINE Project Overview Arrangement ◦ The controls in the MASTER section affect the sound at the main outputs of MASCHINE, i.e. the sound of all Groups and all Sounds. 2.2 Arrangement In MASCHINE the process of creating ideas is separated from the process of arrangement to provide a more flexible and creative approach. To reflect this the Arranger is split into two views: Ideas view and Arranger view which you can easily switch between using your controller.
MASCHINE Project Overview Arrangement 1 2 3 4 5 7 6 The Ideas view for creating and experimenting with musical ideas free from the Timeline. The workflow of creating ideas in MASCHINE is as follows: ▪ You load samples or plug-ins into the Sound slots (7) of the selected Group (4). ▪ You record notes triggering the Sounds by playing the pads (1-16). A recorded note is called an event (6). ▪ The events are recorded in a Pattern (1) for the selected Group.
MASCHINE Project Overview Arrangement ▪ The Ideas view (2) in the upper half of the software allows you to combine Patterns from different Groups into Scenes (3). Arranger View The Arranger view allows you to structure your song by allowing you to assign the Scenes you created in the Ideas view to Sections on the Timeline, and move them around to quickly create a larger musical structure. 1 2 The Arranger view for organizing your musical ideas into a song on the Timeline.

Glossary 12 Glossary In this glossary you will find short definitions for numerous terms used in the MASCHINE context. If you have any doubts about the meaning of a word, this is the place to check! Arranger The Arranger is the big area located in the upper part of the MASCHINE window, right under the Header. Arranger View The Arranger view allows you to combine Sections (references to Scenes), and arrange them into a song on the Timeline.
Glossary their audio. You then only have to set up the desired Sound(s) and Group(s) of your Project to send some of their audio to this bussing point. This basically is the way to set up send effects in MASCHINE! Channel Properties Channel properties are sets of parameters available at each Project level (i.e. for each Sound, each Group, and for the Master) that are independent of the Plug-ins loaded in that Sound/ Group/Master.
Glossary 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 Step Grid. Depending on the current view in the Pattern Editor, you can see events for all Sounds slots (Group view) or for the select Sound slots only (Keyboard view). Groove Properties The Groove properties control the rhythmic relationship between events for the selected Group/ Sound or the Master level.
Glossary Header The Header is the topmost row of controls in the MASCHINE software window. It contains global settings, such as the Master Volume slider, the Transport controls, controls for global swing, tempo, time signature, etc. Keyboard View Keyboard view is the view of the Pattern Editor in which only events of the selected Sound are visible and editable. The Keyboard view provides a vertical on-screen keyboard that indicates the pitch of each event (one row per semi-tone).
Glossary Mute and Solo Muting allows you to bypass a Sound or a Group, whereas Soloing is pretty much the opposite: It mutes all other Sounds or Groups so that only the soloed Sound or Group is played. The combination of muting and soloing is a useful means both to play live and to test different sequences together.
Glossary Plug-in A Plug-in is an instrument or effect unit, either Internal or External (by Native Instruments or a third-party manufacturer), that can be loaded into a Plug-in slot to produce or alter sound. When a Plug-in is loaded into a Plug-in slot, the Plug-in appears in the Plug-in List in the left part of the Control area. Prehear The Prehear feature allows you to listen to Samples directly from the Browser without loading them into Sound slots first.
Glossary Scene A Scene is a combination of Patterns for each Group. They can be used to combine Patterns in order to create musical ideas. Scenes are created in the Ideas view and then added to Sections in the Arranger view to create an arrangement. Section Sections are references to a specific Scenes on the Timeline of the Arranger view and are used to arrange the Scenes into a larger musical structure.
Glossary Step Steps are elementary time blocks. They are notably used to apply quantization or to compose Patterns from your controller in Step mode. All steps together make up the Step Grid. In the software’s Pattern Editor, steps are visualized by vertical lines. You can adjust the step size, e.g., to apply different quantization to different events or to divide the Step Grid into finer blocks to edit your Pattern more precisely.
