MASCHINE Getting Started – 69
9.4 Use Mute & Solo and Scenes and Patterns with the Lock function
Mute and Solo is a good way to build up a live set especially on MASCHINE as you can
mute and solo Groups and Sounds at the same time. By locking the Mute and Solo func-
tion, you have both hands free to mute or solo Sounds and Groups. The same goes for
Pattern and Scene Modes: Locking Modes is done by pressing Button 1 at the same time
as the Mode Button, and unlocking by pressing Button 1 again.
9.5 Use Note Repeat
Note Repeat is a very useful tool for playing live: use it to add some additional drums,
drop in some effect sounds, play a bassline or a melody.
9.6 Set up your own Multieffect Groups
As described in chapter 5.7 “The Input Module and Advanced Routing” you can set up
multieffect Groups containing all the Send Effects you want to use in a live set.
9.7 Use a Limiter on your Master
This sounds rather conservative, but if you want to avoid digital distortion caused by an
overload of your soundcard, this is a useful safety measure.
9.8 Hook up your other gear and sync it with MIDI clock
If you have other gear such as a drum machine, a synthesizer or another sequencer that
is able to send MIDI Clock, hook it up to the MASCHINE Controller’s MIDI In and activate
External MIDI Sync
from MASCHINE’s File Menu so that they can play together in sync.
MASCHINE can also receive MIDI Clock via an internal MIDI port, so you can synchronize
it with a MIDI Master.
