User Manual

In Keyboard view, the Pattern Editor shows all notes for a particular Sound.
If you select another Sound slot in the Sound List on the left, the whole Event area will switch
to the notes for that Sound.
On the left of the Event area, a vertical piano roll indicates the note corresponding to each row
in the Event area. Octaves are indicated by a number on each C key: e.g., the middle C, which
is noted C3 in the MASCHINE convention, will read “3.” Click any note on the piano roll to
trigger the selected Sound at that particular pitch.
This view is well suited for melodic instruments (e.g., a piano), since you can focus on a par-
ticular Sound, and edit notes at every pitch.
Switching Between Group and Keyboard View from the Controller
The Group/Keyboard view in the software is always in sync with the Group/Keyboard/Chords
mode of the pads on your controller: Switching between Group and Keyboard view in the soft-
ware will automatically switch between Group mode and Keyboard mode on your controller
(and inversely).
As a consequence, to switch the Pattern Editor between Group and Keyboard view, you simply
need to switch your pads between Group and Keyboard mode:
► Press PAD MODE on your controller to switch the Pattern Editor to Group view.
→ The Pattern Editor in the software switches to Group view.
► Press KEYBOARD/CHORDS on your controller to switch the Pattern Editor to Keyboard
view.
