MASCHINE 1.5 Reference Manual – 88
% 
Combining the MIDI Settings for Scenes, Groups and Sounds, you can easily create 
your custom MIDI setup and create a keyboard split for your live set, for example: rst 
octave controlling the Scenes, second octave controlling your drumkit, third one for the piano 
sound and so forth.
! 
The settings for Sounds have a higher priority than the Group settings, as well as the 
settings for Groups have a higher priority than the Scene settings.
