Creating a Song using Scenes
In MASCHINE, a song is made of a variable number of Scenes, which represent the different
parts of the song — e.g., intro, verse, chorus, break, another verse… Scenes provide a very
flexible way to arrange your song. The place where you organize Scenes is the Arranger, located
in the top right part of the MASCHINE window. The Arranger provides you with 64 Scene slots
organized in columns. Each slot can contain one Scene.
To get you started we recommend you load a Project from the Factory Library and have a look
at the Arranger:
Factory Project “Deeper” in the Arranger with Scene 2 selected.
This is how Scenes work:
▪
Only one Scene is played at a time.
▪
In each Scene (i.e. each column of the Arranger), you can choose to play one particular
Pattern of each Group. For example, in the picture above,
Scene 1
will play Pattern
2
of
the
Beat
Group together with Pattern
6
of the
Synth
Group and Pattern
2
of the
Bass
Group.
▪
On the other hand, a Pattern can be played in several Scenes: In fact a Scene only con-
tains a reference to your Pattern, and you can place as many references to this Pattern as
you want in different Scenes in the Arranger. For example, in the picture above,
Scene 2
,
4
, and
6
use the same Pattern
1
of the
Beat
Group. When you modify your Pattern in the
