Any input level reaching the slider position will start the recording. Double-click the

slider to reset the threshold to its default value (-12 dB).

Sync: Select

Sync

to start recording audio in time with the Pattern Grid. If the focused

Sound Slot contains neither an Audio nor Sampler plug-in, then the recorded Sample will

be loaded automatically into a Sampler plug-in as the first Take. You must trigger the Sam-
pler with MIDI Events, such as those in a Pattern, to play back the audio.

When

Sync

is selected recording starts in sync with the sequencer after you click

Start

. Recording will begin at the start of the next bar. The

LENGTH

control on the

right allows you to choose a length for the recording: either 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 bars, or
choose

Free

if you do not want to set a duration limit to the recording. At any time you

can click

Stop

to end recording, and the recording will stop at the next bar.

Loop: Select

Loop

to record audio that you intend to play back in-sync with your Project

using the Audio plug-in. It records audio in the same way as

Sync

however, when

Loop

mode is selected, an additional parameter appears called

Target

. In Loop mode the record-

ing is loaded into an Audio plug-in so that you can immediately hear the results. The

Tar-

get

parameter dictates how MASCHINE loads new recordings into the Audio plug-in:

Take

: Select this to record each new Take into the focused Sound slot. After a Take is

recorded it will become visible in the Audio Pool and is automatically selected for
playback. You can review all the Takes you’ve captured in the Audio Pool, and you can
also select any of these Takes to make it the one that actively plays back in the Audio
plug-in.

Sound

: Select this Target to enable a layered workflow similar to that achieved with

guitar loop pedals. When using this mode, each recording that you make will be load-
ed into an empty Sound Slot in the current Group and Pattern and will begin playing
back. Therefore, each recording that you make will play back layered on top of all the
previous recordings made in that particular Group and Pattern. By layering each new
Take onto a new Sound you can quickly build a whole pattern. You can continue this
process until all empty Sound slots in the Group are used up, then after that, each
additional recording will simply be recorded as a new Take into the last Sound of the
Group that contains an Audio plug-in (and the previous Takes will still be preserved if
you want to switch back to them).
