→ The FOLLOW button lights up. In the software the Arranger will now switch to the next
portion of your Project (with the same zoom factor) as soon as the playhead reaches the
end of the portion currently displayed. This way, you always see the portion that is cur-
rently played.
The Follow function will be automatically disabled as soon as you manually scroll to an-
other portion of the Arranger or of the Pattern Editor.
The Follow function simultaneously affects various displays in the software and on your con-
troller:
▪ In the software the Follow function affects both the Pattern Editor and the Arranger.
▪ On your controller the Follow function affects the displays in Arrange mode (for both SEC-
TION and PATTERN pages), Events mode, Step mode, and Note Repeat mode. Additional-
ly, in Step mode the Follow function affects the pads: With Follow enabled, when the play-
head has gone across all 16 steps shown by the pads on your controller, the pads automati-
cally switch to the next 16 steps of the Pattern, if any. See section ↑10.4.2, Creating
Events/Notes for more information on Step mode.
15.1.3 Jumping to Other Sections
MASCHINE provides you with two additional settings to fine-tune the jumps between the
Scene currently playing and the next Scene that is selected:
▪ The Perform Grid lets you quantize the Section transitions: You can choose the point at
which the playback will leave the current Section. For example, you might not want a newly
selected loop to fire off immediately — you might want it to wait until the next bar line.
The available quantization values are: one bar, one half note, one quarter note, one eighth
note, one sixteenth note, the whole Section, and Off. If you choose Off, the Section change
will be performed immediately after you select the next loop.
▪ The Retrigger setting lets you decide where the next loop will start:
◦ If Retrigger is enabled, the next Section that is selected will be forced to play from
the start. This is useful if you always want your Sections to play from the beginning
regardless of what’s happening elsewhere in the music.
