MASCHINE Getting Started – 15
4. Creating a Pattern
In order to get you started with MASCHINE, let´s lay out a basic Pattern with some drums,
a bassline and a melody. On the way, you will learn how to create Sounds and Groups and
how to add Effects (FX) to them.
4.1 Finding Samples in the Browser
The Browser is your tool for managing, finding, tagging and categorizing Projects, Groups,
Patterns, Sounds, FX and Samples. If you want to know more about the Browser’s capa-
bilities, read the “Browser” chapter in the MASCHINE Reference Manual.
Hardware
On the MASCHINE Controller, press the Browse Button. In the Left Display, you will
now be presented with a selection of choices.
Turn Rotary Encoder 1 until the Filter on the Left Display turns to “Sample.” This
indicates that only Samples will be displayed now in the right display.
Since we are looking for a bass drum, first turn Rotary Encoder 2 until the Factory
Bank entry is set to “DRUM.” Turn Rotary Encoder 3 to select Type entry “KICK”, then
turn Rotary Encoder 4 until the Subtype is set to “SUB.” Using the Right Display and
Rotary Encoder 5 you can browse through all the bass drums now. With Button 8 you
can now load the selected bass drum into your Sound Slot.
