▪ On  your  controller  the  Follow  function  affects  the  displays  in  Scene  mode  when  Arrange
submode is enabled. Additionally, in Step mode the Follow function affects the pads: With
Follow enabled, when the playhead has gone across all 16 steps shown by the pads on your
controller, the  pads  automatically  switch  to the  next  16 steps  of  the Pattern,  if  any. See
section ↑7.4.2, Creating Events/Notes for more information on Step mode.
13.1.3 Jumping to Other Sections
 
MASCHINE  provides  you  with  two  additional  settings  to  fine-tune  the  jumps  between  the
Scene currently playing and the next Scene that is selected:
▪ The  Perform  Grid  lets  you  quantize  the  Section  transitions:  You  can  choose  the  point  at
which the playback will leave the current Section. For example, you might not want a newly
selected loop to  fire off immediately  — you might  want it  to wait until  the next bar  line.
The available quantization values are: one bar, one half note, one quarter note, one eighth
note, one sixteenth note, the whole Section, and Off. If you choose Off, the Section change
will be performed immediately after you select the next loop.
▪ The Retrigger setting lets you decide where the next loop will start:
◦ If Retrigger  is  enabled,  the  next Section  that  is  selected  will be  forced  to  play  from
the start. This  is useful if  you always want  your Sections  to play from  the beginning
regardless of what’s happening elsewhere in the music.
◦ If  Retrigger  is  disabled  (default  setting),  the  next  Section  that  is  selected  will  play
from the same offset to the beginning of the Section: e.g., leaving the current Section
on beat 3 will cause the new Section to start playing on its beat 3. This ensures that
the global groove of your track is not interrupted!
