3.3.7

Focusing on a Group or a Sound

To display the content and parameters of a particular Sound or Group, you first need to put it

in focus.
Setting the focus on a Sound or Group is slightly different than selecting it: The focus defines

what will be displayed, whereas the selection defines what will be affected by your edits. Note
that a focused Sound/Group is always selected. The distinction is of importance because you
can select multiple Sounds or Groups to apply your edits to all of them at once! See section

5.1.3, Selecting Multiple Sounds or Groups

for more on this.

We show here how to put Sounds and Groups in focus when the MASCHINE software is in Arrange

view (default view). For instructions on putting Sounds and Groups in focus in Mix view, please re-
fer to chapter

13.2.3, Selecting Channel Strips
