2.5 Save Your Work!
A drum groove is an ideal starting point for the creation of a song. All the instruments you re-
cord afterwards will be based on the feeling of that rhythm. Before we get to adding new ele-
ments and editing your pattern, you should save your work right away.
Saving your Work in the MASCHINE Software
1. Click File.
2. Click Save.

3. On your computer keyboard, type a name (e.g., “My First Project”) in the field and press
[Enter] to confirm.
Your Project with its new Pattern is now saved on your hard disk. Should you close MASCHINE
or open another Project, you will still be able to open this Project later.

As… dialog opened and is waiting for your input.
