Creating a Song using Scenes
Creating a Song on MASCHINE is easy and straightforward. The basic concept is this: a song is
composed of Clips, each of which represents a Pattern from a given Group. A combination of
several Clips stacked vertically is called a Scene, of which a Project can have up to 64. Scenes
are useful as different parts of a Song that you can trigger independently — such as a begin-
ning, a chorus or a break. To get you started we recommend you load a Project from the Facto-
ry Library and have a look at the Arranger:
Factory Project “Deeper” in the Arranger with Scene 2 selected.

ing Button 1 at the same time. The right display gives you an overview of the available
Scenes, with the selected Scene highlighted. The lit pads show the Scenes available for
selection. If more than one pad is brightly lit, these scenes are looped.
