The keyboard view – Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 Groove Production Studio (Black) User Manual

This view is well suited for rhythmic instruments (e.g., a drum kit), since you can see and edit

the events for all Sounds at once, without worrying about the pitch of the events you create or
edit.

The Keyboard View

Alternatively, you can switch the Pattern Editor to Keyboard view:

Click the Keyboard View button (showing a little keyboard) on the left of the Pattern Edi-
tor to switch it to Keyboard view:

The Event area now only shows notes for the selected Sound. By adding or editing notes,
you can choose their pitch in semitones depending on where you place them on the verti-
cal axis, the lowest note being the lowest row.

In Keyboard view, the Pattern Editor shows all notes for a particular Sound.

If you select another Sound slot in the Sound List on the left, the whole Event area will switch

to the notes for that Sound.
