1. Press SHIFT + SCENE (Section) to select Section mode.
2. Press the Right Arrow button to access Retrigger.

4. Turn the Control knob to select On.
The next time you select a new Section or loop range, it will start from the beginning.
Make sure you have created at least one Section before you try to set the Retrigger setting; other-
wise, the setting will not be available.
16.2 Using Ideas View
The Ideas view allows you to experiment with your musical ideas without being tied to a time-
line or any kind of arrangement. Here you can create Patterns for each Group and combine
them into a Scene.
In Ideas view, MASCHINE provides a perfect overview of all your Scenes, Patterns and Groups.
Here you can create a Scene by selecting a Pattern for each Group, duplicate your Scenes,
clear a Scene and more importantly trigger your Scenes to so you can hear how they sound
when played in a particular order.
Pressing a pad in Scene mode will trigger a Scene and in turn trigger all the assigned Patterns.
In addition to creating ideas, Scene mode is fantastic for improvisation during a performance.
16.2.1 Scene Overview
In the software, all Scenes can be managed from the Ideas view:
► To open Ideas view, click the Arranger View button on the left of the Arranger.
