MASCHINE offers two different modes for starting the recording available via the Start Mode
selector on the left:
▪
Detect: If
Detect
is selected, you can set a certain threshold using the
Threshold
control
on the right. After you clicked
START
, the input signal level exceeding this threshold will
start the recording. You can then manually stop the recording by clicking
STOP
. This is
useful to record a singer or an instrumentalist, for example.
The threshold is also indicated by a vertical line and two little arrows on the Level meters
(4). You can also adjust the threshold by dragging this indicator with the mouse.
▪
Sync: If
Sync
is selected, you can synchronize the recording function to the sequencer, so
that the recording starts in sync with the sequencer after you clicked
START
. The record-
ing will start at the top of the next bar. The
Length
control on the right allows you to
choose a length for the Sample to be recorded: either 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 bars or choose
Free
if you want to stop the recording yourself by clicking
STOP
(3).
(3) START, STOP and CANCEL
Click
START
to start the recording. If you have set the Start Mode selector to
Sync
, MA-
SCHINE will wait for the next bar before starting to record; if you have selected
Detect
instead,
the recording will start as soon as the
Threshold
value is met. Once the recording has started,
click
STOP
to stop the recording manually, or
CANCEL
to cancel the recording — the recorded
Sample will not be saved.
(4) Monitoring controls
The Level meters show you at any time the level of the selected audio source. For example,
this can come in handy to adjust the appropriate threshold in
Detect
mode. If you have set the
Source selector to
Ext
, an additional Monitor button (with a loudspeaker symbol) allows you to
hear the audio source.
(5) Info bar
Displays the file name and the length of the recorded Sample. Click and hold the little loud-
speaker icon on the left to listen to the Sample. When the Sample is played back, the Play-
head indicator (8) shows you the current play position within the waveform.
(6) Record menu
