Audio plug-in Improvements
▪ Added  a  Formant  mode  to  the  Audio  plug-in  which  preserves  formants  when  pitching  an
audio loop up or  down. This can  be particularly useful when  working with vocal  material.
For more information, refer to ↑8, Using the Audio Plug-in.
▪ The Engine Modes are now listed in order of CPU load, from lowest (Re-pitch) to highest
(Formant).
▪ The  Take  Recording  workflow  has  been  improved  by  muting  the  previously-playing  Take
when you trigger a new recording so you're not distracted hearing the old Take while trying
to record a new one. If you abort the recording, the previously-playing Take will be restored.
▪ The Pattern Recording workflow has been improved by muting the previously-playing Pat-
tern when you trigger a new recording so you're not distracted hearing the old Pattern while
trying to record a new one. If you abort the recording, the previously-playing Pattern will be
restored.
▪ When  you  drag  a  bounced  audio  file  from  the  Pattern  Editor  dragger  to  a  Sound  Slot  or
Group, MASCHINE will now load this into an Audio plug-in instead of a Sampler.
▪ When Exporting loop content from MASCHINE, the Project Tempo will now be written into
the files. MASCHINE will read this tempo when later loading this file into the Audio plug-
in.
▪ MASCHINE now writes both the Tempo and Loop tags to recordings made with Loop mode.
Tempo  is  attached  to  recordings  made  in  Sync  mode.  These  recordings  will  therefore  al-
ways be in sync with the project when loading them into an Audio plug-in.
Pattern Editor
▪ The  number  of  tools  available  in  the  software  for  editing  the  Patterns  has  been  reduced
due to redundant functionality. Instead of an arrow, a pencil, and an eraser, there is now
just a pencil tool which can be toggled on and off. When the pencil is off, the mouse will
behave as it did when using the arrow tool (and the mouse will look like a normal arrow in
this mode). When the pencil is on, this enables the same pencil/paint functionality as be-
fore (and the mouse will look like a pencil when in this mode). For more information, see
↑11.4.1, Editing Events with the Mouse: an Overview.
▪ There are some changes to keyboard shortcut behavior as they relate to view switching in
the pattern editor:
