5 Creating Beats
In this tutorial, you will further enhance your tutorial Project and do the following:
▪ Double your Pattern and fine-tune it.
▪ Add a second Pattern for breaks.
Even though you have only dealt with drum kits until now, MASCHINE is much more than a rhythm
box. Indeed, it also does a great job with melodic instruments! For those who can’t wait: Please be
patient, you will add a bass line in the next tutorial.
