Native Instruments MASCHINE+ Standalone Production and Performance Instrument - Manual (Page 54)

Setting Description
MODE Automatically quantize your input as you record.
Select one of the following Input Quantization modes:
None : Input Quantization is deactivated. Events you play or record on the
Pads are not quantized.
Record : Input Quantization is applied only when you record the Pads.
Play/Rec : Input Quantization is applied both when you play on the pads and
when you record them. In Play/Rec mode, quantization while playing is
slightly different from the quantization applied while recording: When
recording, all events are quantized to the closest step, possibly ahead of the
event. When playing, events occurring in the first half of the steps are left
untouched (since you cannot bring them forward in the timeline) whereas
events occurring in the second half of the steps are quantized to the next
step.
Scene/
Section
DUPLICATE Selects how the Duplicate function will operate when duplicating Scenes.
Scene Only : Only the Scene is duplicated. The result is a new unlinked Scene
with the same Patterns referenced.
Scene and Patterns : The Scene itself and additionally all Patterns are
duplicated. The new Scene and Patterns are now completely independent
from the originals.
LINK WHEN
DUPL
Creates a linked copy of a Section when using the Duplicate function. By
default this feature is deactivated.
When enabled, the Duplicate function will create a linked copy of a Section. A
linked copy will automatically be updated when any instance of a linked
Section is edited. This way, you don’t need to keep track of which Section is
the “original.”
Pattern
LENGTH Sets the default length of a Pattern.
GROW Sets the default of Auto-growing Patterns on or off. Auto-Growing Patterns
enables you to record patterns of an undefined length. This means you can
quickly capture an idea without having to set a pattern length in advance.
Simply begin recording and the length of the pattern will grow until you stop
recording. When you have finished recording, any silence at the end of the
pattern will automatically be trimmed to the nearest Bar (quantization can be
adjusted via Grid settings).
