3. Press REC again to stop recording.
→ You just created your first Pattern!
You can now deactivate the metronome by pressing SHIFT + TAP again and listen to your new-
ly created rhythm.
► To stop the sequencer, press STOP or press PLAY again.
Quick Edits on Your Pattern
At any time, you can undo your last recording by pressing SHIFT + pad 1 ( Undo ), whether you
are currently recording or not. You can redo it by pressing SHIFT + pad 2 ( Redo ).
The undo and redo commands are global in MASCHINE: Almost any action in MASCHINE can be
undone/redone.
At any time, you can enrich your Pattern by activating PLAY and REC again, and playing the
pads. This way, you can progressively build up a complex Pattern step by step.
3.4 Playing with Your Pattern
Now that you have a nice Pattern, let’s introduce a few powerful tools for playing your Pattern
live.
3.4.1 Using Solo and Mute
Mute can be used to bypass a Sound or Group, whereas Solo is the opposite: Solo will mute all
other Sounds in the Group, or all other Groups in the Project, so a selected Sound, or Group
can be heard alone. The combination of both is a useful means to play live and to test differ-
ent sequences together.
When used on Sounds, the Solo only applies to the current Group: The Sounds in other Groups
will not be affected.
