▪ Control mode is the default controller mode and can be used to access parameters of the
Sound, Group and Master levels in your MASCHINE Project.
▪ Main mode is used to change the Volume, Swing and Tempo/Tune parameters at each level
of your Project (Master, Group and Sound). Press the MAIN button then: F1 for main Vol-
ume, F2 for global Swing, and F3 Tempo to control the tempo of your Project. Use the Con-
trol encoder to change a parameter value. When a pad or the GROUP button is held Tempo
will be replaced by the Tune parameter allowing you to tune individual Sounds or Groups on
the fly by rotating the Control knob.
The MAIN button also allows you to pin a particular mode on your controller: hold the
desired mode button and press MAIN once to pin the corresponding mode. You then can
release the mode button and your controller will stay in the corresponding mode until
you press it again. See ↑10.1.1, Controller Modes and Mode Pinning for more informa-
tion.
