Page Fx And Filter Settings SR stands for sample rate: you can use it to lower the orig- inal sample rate in order to give a Sound a lo-fi touch.

Allows you to lower the original bit rate of the Sound, re- sulting in a more rough, digital sounding lo-fi effect. This allows you to modulate Volume, which is what Velocity olUmE normally is used for.

Page Selecting Patterns And Pattern Banks A6 are the ones that have content but are not selected, the empty ones all others starting with A7 being the darkest ones.

This is useful if you want to try out a Pattern with different Sounds. They will be applied according to the selected Step Grid. Page Mouse Actions In The Pattern Editor The other way round, left-clicking on a note and moving the mouse cursor with the button pressed will erase all notes under the Mouse cursor.

Click on the Zoom Tool and drag upwards to zoom in and downwards to zoom out. The new state will be confirmed as soon as you select another Pattern and the asterisk will vanish. Almost all parameters are automatable, the exception being all Buttons. Page You will see that they keep their relative distance although they change their absolute values. Double-clicking creates an Automation event and replaces the others on this Step.

If you want to automate Group parameters, just click on the Group Tab in the Control Area to be presented with available parameters of the Group. Page To adjust the Pattern Length, click on the number in the right part of the Pattern Length Control, then drag it upwards to extend the Pattern or drag it downwards to shorten it. Page Control-click on the Pattern icon. If notes and events are selected, the quantization will only affect the selected ones; if no note or event is selected, the whole Pattern content will be quantized.

A Sound can hold either a single Sample or multiple Samples mapped across the keyboard. Sounds are organized in Groups see the Groups paragraph below. Two Insert FX and six pages of parameters per Sound are available. A Group contains 16 Sound Slots, each of which can hold one Sound.

It can have up to two Insert FX and up to 64 Patterns assigned to it which are organized in four Banks. A Pattern is a sequence that plays Sounds from the current Group. A Pattern is therefore usually linked to a Group since it is a part of the Group; however you can also save it independently from the Group.

This is useful if you want to try out different drum kits with the same Pattern or different Sounds with a given melody. A Scene represents a combination of different Groups with their associated Patterns.

Scenes are used to chain patterns in order to build up a finished arrangement, or to trigger different parts of a Song while you are playing live. This is where all audio signals from each of the Groups and Sounds come together and get mixed.

The Master bus can also host two Insert FX of its own. The Fullscreen View is also available from your computer keybord via the F5 function key. This is helpful if you have a small display connected to your computer, or want to concentrate on one element without being distracted by the other.

In some situations, the Control Area consist of more parameters than the displays can show at once. In these cases, the number of Parameters is divided into several Parameter Pages that you can easily navigate with the Hardware and Software. Whenever there is more than one Page, it will be shown on the right of the Right Display like this:. Moreover, if there is another Page available to the left or to the right of the current Page, the corresponding Page Button will be lit on your Controller.

Note: If you save your Project, you will no longer be able to Undo or Redo any actions performed before saving! On the Software, use the common keyboard shortcuts for the Undo and Redo functions. For further information on plug-in compatibility and for a detailed description of how to use plug-ins in your host, please refer to the documentation included with your host software.

This allows you to choose available devices if you have connected more than one audio interface. Lower values result in a more immediate playing response but are heavier on both the CPU and the audio driver, and may result in audible clicks and pops.

Larger values are easier on the CPU, but introduce a larger latency i. You should therefore experiment with this setting so that it is as low as possible without overloading your CPU or introducing any audio artifacts. Click this button to open the settings dialog of the selected ASIO driver. Select the Inputs of your audio interface on the right column by clicking on the fields: you will be presented with a dropdown menu with all the available Inputs.

The choices made here will determine which Inputs can be used when sampling external sources, for example. By clicking on Outputs, you will be presented with a list of the eight stereo outputs from MASCHINE: in the right column, you can assign them to the outputs of your audio interface via a dropdown menu. You can activate each Input by clicking in the Status column. You can activate each Output by clicking in the Status column. Delayed MIDI clock data will cause external devices to respond too late, thus making your track sound out of sync.

Adjust the Offset value to set an amount of latency to be compensated in milliseconds. This could be hardware such as a drum machine, another groovebox or sequencer, or even another software sequencer.
