al in section Sampling.
(7) Page buttons: Almost any feature of MASCHINE can be accessed using the hardware con-
troller. For a clear and simple layout of the displays, the parameters are grouped into different
pages, which are selected using the Page buttons.
(8) FILE button: Press the
FILE button to switch to File mode. In this mode you can quickly
save a copy of your Project, save it under another name, create a new Project, and load a
Project you have loaded recently. Press
SHIFT + FILE ( Save ) to quickly save your modifications

(10) AUTO button: In MASCHINE, modulation of almost any parameter on the Sound and
Group level is achieved with one-touch simplicity. Press and hold the
AUTO button while turn-
ing any of the eight Knobs (or any combination) under the displays to record modulation for
the corresponding parameter(s). Have a look at section Modulating Effect Parameters for a
practical example. Press
SHIFT + AUTO to pin/unpin the Auto mode. When Auto mode is pin-
ned, you can release the AUTO button (the button stays lit) and record modulation with both
hands; this is very handy to record modulation for two (or more) parameters simultaneously!
