You just created your first Pattern!

newly created rhythm.

To stop the sequencer, press PLAY again.
Quick Edits on Your Pattern
At any time, you can undo your last action by pressing SHIFT + pad 1 — whether you are cur-
rently recording or not. You can redo it by pressing SHIFT + pad 2.
The undo and redo commands are global in MASCHINE: Almost any action in MA-
SCHINE can be undone/redone!
At any time, you can enrich your Pattern by activating PLAY and REC again, and playing the
pads. This way, you can progressively build up a complex Pattern step by step.
2.4 Playing with Your Pattern
Now that you have a nice Pattern, let’s introduce a few powerful tools for playing your Pattern
live.
2.4.1 Using Solo and Mute
Muting is used to bypass a Sound or a Group, whereas Solo is pretty much the opposite: Solo-
ing a Sound or a Group mutes all other Sounds in that Group or all other Groups, respectively,
so that you can listen to the selected Sound or Group alone. The combination of both is a use-
ful means to play live and to test different sequences together.
When used on Sounds, the Solo only applies to the current Group: The Sounds in other Groups
won’t be affected.
