Setting Description
Scene Default Select the default color for your Scenes. In the menu, you can
select the desired color from the 16-color palette or White
(default setting). The color selected as default is highlighted in
the menu. If you select Auto each Scene will have a different
default color.
Group Default Select the default color for your Groups. In the menu, you can
choose the desired color from the 16-color palette. The color
selected as default is highlighted in the menu. If you select
Auto (default setting) each Group will have a different default
color.
Sound Default Select the default color for your Sounds. In the menu, you can
choose the desired color from the 16-color palette. The color
selected as default is highlighted in the menu. If you select
Auto each Sound will have a different default color. If you select
Use Group Color (default setting) Sounds will by default mirror
the color of the Group to which they belong.
Load with Colors Click the checkbox to save your Color settings with your
MASCHINE files (Projects, Groups, Sounds, etc.). If you
uncheck Load with Colors (checked by default), saved colors will
not be used next time you load the files. The default colors set
in this Colors page will be used instead.
Please note that the settings in this Colors page define default colors: These colors will only be used
when creating a new Project, resetting a Group/Sound, or when Load with Colors is unchecked (see
above). To change the color of particular objects (Sounds, Groups, Patterns, and Scenes) in your
Project, use the Color submenu in the object’s context menu in the software. See ↑5.2.4, Changing
the Sound’s Color, ↑5.3.4, Changing the Group’s Color, ↑11.7.7, Changing the Pattern’s Color, and
↑16.2.13, Changing the Color of a Scene for more information, respectively.
As long as an object (Scene, Sound, Group or Pattern) has the default color, this color is not attach-
ed to the object but instead to its “position” in the respective list: In particular, if you move the
object to another position the default color will not follow the object — the object will instead take
the default color of its new position.
