User Manual

Record Mode: The Record Mode options allows you to adjust Metronome parameters (Level,
Time signature and Auto-on), Count-In Length, and automatic Quantize mode via the on-
screen overlay, Input velocity and Pattern Follow. The Metronome is a precise musical ref-
erence that can help you keep time when recording live input. The Quantize mode options
allow you set various options related to when and how quantization is applied to the input
of your recording. Pattern Follow will set the controller to move with the Playhead through
the various parts of your Pattern when step sequencing if the Pattern does not fit in the
8x8 matrix at once. For more information see 7.1.4, Setting the Record Mode.
7.1.1 Setting the Tempo
The TEMPO button is located along the bottom of the controller and allows you to change the
tempo of the track in beats per minute (BPM).
To change the tempo of the track:
1. Press the TEMPO button.
The on-screen overlay appears.
2. Turn the Encoder clockwise to increase the tempo, or turn it counterclockwise to decrease
the tempo.
The tempo of the track will change, and the on-screen overlay will display the current
tempo as it is adjusted.
Tapping the Tempo
You can use Tap Tempo to set the tempo at any time. This is an intuitive way to match another
beat or sync with other musicians. As you tap the tempo once every beat, MASCHINE will fol-
low you’re the tempo of your tapping.
