MASCHINE Getting Started – 21
4.3.3 Recording a Pattern
Now that you have chosen the Grid, let´s get going with the Pattern, starting with some
drums!
Hardware
The first possibility is to simply record some beats with the Pads: press the Play Button,
then the Record Button to enable Record Mode. Now hit the Pads you want to record and
listen to what happens. The Metronome will help you to keep the time when recording in
realtime. To activate the Metronome, hold down Shift and press Play. To deactivate the
Metronome, hold Shift and press Play again. If you want to quantize your recording af-
terwards, hold the MASCHINE Controller’s Shift Button and press Pad 5 (Quantize). Your
recording will be quantized according to the selected Grid
First possibility of recording a Pattern: press PLAY & REC and then play some Pads!
4.3.4 Step Sequencer
If you are familiar with classic drum machines such as those made popular by a well-known
Japanese company, you may want to program your Pattern using the Step Sequencer:
Hit the Pad with the Sound you want to record to select it.
Press the Step Button. Now you will see a light chasing through the Pads, starting
from Pad 1, going up all four rows from left to right and ending at Pad 16. Each Pad
now represents one step of a 16-step sequence: you can activate it by hitting the Pad
once, lighting it up. If you hit it again, the step is gone. This way it´s easy to quickly
put some drums together.
