▪
Record: Input Quantization is applied only when you record the pads.
▪
Play/Rec: Input Quantization is applied both when you play on the pads and when you re-
cord them.
In Play/Rec mode the quantization applied while playing is slightly different from the
quantization applied while recording: When recording, all events are quantized to the
closest step — possibly ahead of the event. When playing, on the other hand, events oc-
curring in the first half of the steps are left untouched (since you cannot bring them for-
ward in the timeline!) whereas events occurring in the second half of the steps are quan-
tized to the next step.
Choosing an Input Quantization Mode
In the software the Input Quantization can be configured via the
Quantize
setting available in
the
Input
section at the bottom of the
General
page in the
Preferences
panel:
►
Click the
Quantize
menu and select the desired Input Quantization mode from the three
modes available (see their description above).

Recording and Editing Modulation
One of the really cool features of MASCHINE is the ability to modulate nearly all MASCHINE
parameters both on the controller and in the software in a very easy way.
In MASCHINE, modulation means the automatic change of MASCHINE parameters from an in-
ternal source (e.g., manual changes recorded via Auto-write…). Value changes are:
▪
Temporary: The modified value is valid only until the end of the Clip: When the Scene is
looped or when playback is restarted, the parameter value is reset to its non-modulated val-
ue.
▪
Relative (knobs only): For continuous parameters (these parameters are controlled by a ro-
tary knob in the software), the new parameter value is defined as deviation from the actual
value. Note that for selectors and buttons, modulation defines instead absolute values.
