Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 Getting Started

For some of these modes, you need to hold the button to keep the mode active. For example,
when you press the SOLO button, the displays will show Solo-specific control options; when
you release it, the controller switches back to the previous mode.
The buttons that are required to be held are in the middle column of your controller (left of the
pads) along with the NOTE REPEAT and AUTO button:
By default, each of these buttons needs to be held in order to use the corresponding mode.
Pinning the Controller Modes
You can also pin (i.e. lock) controller modes, so the controller doesn’t switch back when releas-
ing a mode button:
1. Press and hold a controller mode button, e.g., PATTERN.
2. Press Button 1 above the left display.
