Pad Section

The Pad section includes numerous features. Use the 16 pads to play your Sounds. Above the

pads, the Pad Input Mode buttons let you choose how the pads will react to your hits: e.g., you

can trigger all Sounds in your Group, play different notes of a single Sound, specific chords of
that Sound, or create and edit events in the step sequencer.
Besides playing Sounds, the pads provide access to many editing and selection commands de-

pending on the controller mode selected from the column of Mode buttons left of the pads.
Additionally, when you hold

SHIFT

the pads provide you with useful shortcuts and commands

for your everyday work with MASCHINE.
