▪
One-shot : This is typical vintage drum machine behavior: the sample is played in its entire-
ty from beginning to end with no envelope. If One-shot is selected, the AMPLITUDE ENVE-
LOPE section doesn’t display any parameters.
▪
AHD : AHD mode disables the Sustain and Release controls of the ADSR envelope (see be-
low), and replaces them with the Hold parameter. AHD mode is ideal for “fire and forget”
behavior, whereby you would like to have the sound trigger for a certain amount of time re-
gardless of how long you hold the pad down.
▪
ADSR : Typically, the ADSR envelope is used for longer, sustained Samples that require
complex dynamic control.
Unlike many other hardware devices, the pads on MASCHINE are sensitive not only to
being hit, but also to being held — so using the ADSR envelope, you can make the pads
behave like a MIDI keyboard and sustain a note only for as long as it is held down.
