If a Scene is referencing the same Patterns you can make a separate (unique) copy of the Scene
and its Patterns by selecting Unique. This allows you to work on a new separate copy of the Scene
and its Pattern in isolation. Use Unique in combination with the Duplicate option.
To make a Scene unique:
1. Press and hold SCENE ( Section ) to enter Scene mode.
2. Press the pad corresponding to the Scene you want to make unique.
3. Press Button 2 ( UNIQUE ).
→ A unique copy of the Scene and its Patterns are created.

17.3. Using Song View
In MASCHINE, a song is made of a variable number of Scenes, which represent the different parts
of the song, for example, intro, verse, chorus, break, another verse. By assigning your Scenes to
Sections to the Timeline in the Song view you can start to organize your track.
The Song view is where you can sequence Scenes to create your final arrangement. This process
involves creating a Section on the Timeline and assigning a Scene to it. Any Scene that exists in
the Ideas view can be assigned to a Section in the Song view. You can change the length of the
Section (determining the playback length of the Scene) or re-order the Sections as you see fit. You
can also re-use the same Scene in multiple Sections in the timeline, or you can choose to assign
no Scene to the Section at all.
