Setting
Description
Scene Default
Select the default color for your Scenes. In the menu, you can
select the desired color from the 16-color palette or
White
(default setting). The color selected as default is highlighted in
the menu. If you select
Auto
each Scene will have a different
default color.
Group Default
Select the default color for your Groups. In the menu, you can
choose the desired color from the 16-color palette. The color
selected as default is highlighted in the menu. If you select
Auto
(default setting) each Group will have a different default
color.
Sound Default
Select the default color for your Sounds. In the menu, you can
choose the desired color from the 16-color palette. The color
selected as default is highlighted in the menu. If you select
Auto
each Sound will have a different default color. If you select
Use Group Color
(default setting) Sounds will by default mirror
the color of the Group to which they belong.
Load with Colors
Click the checkbox to save your Color settings with your
MASCHINE files (Projects, Groups, Sounds, etc.). If you
uncheck
Load with Colors
(checked by default), saved colors will
not be used next time you load the files. The default colors set
in this
Colors
page will be used instead.
Please note that the settings in this
Colors
page define
default
colors: These colors will only be used
when creating a new Project, resetting a Group/Sound, or when
Load with Colors
is unchecked (see
above). To change the color of particular objects (Sounds, Groups, Patterns, and Scenes) in your
Project, use the
Color
submenu in the object’s context menu in the software. See
5.3.4, Changing the Group’s Color
11.7.7, Changing the Pattern’s Color
, and
16.2.13, Changing the Color of a Scene
for more information, respectively.
As long as an object (Scene, Sound, Group or Pattern) has the default color, this color is not attach-
ed to the object but instead to its “position” in the respective list: In particular, if you move the
object to another position the default color will not follow the object — the object will instead take
the default color of its new position.
