(3) ARRANGER button: Press ARRANGER at any time to access the Arrange view. This view al-
lows you to edit your Sections, Scenes and Patterns to create the perfect arrangement. See the
tutorials in 9, Creating Scenes and 10, Creating an Arrangement.
(4) MIXER button: Press MIXER at any time to access an overview of your mix. Use the Mix
view to, e.g., quickly edit the level and panning of each Sound and Group. See 11.5, The Mix
View for more details.
(5) BROWSER button: Press the BROWSER button to access the Browser. Press SHIFT +
BROWSER (+Plug-In) to access the Plug-in menu and load a Plug-in (Internal, Native Instru-
ments, and External, as well as Instrument and Effect) in the selected Plug-in slot. You will
find many examples of using the Browser throughout the tutorials; for example, see 3.1,
Loading a Drum Kit from the Factory Library, 4.1, Opening Your Project, 4.2.1, Selecting
Another Snare Sample, etc.
(6) SAMPLING button: Press the SAMPLING button to access the Sample Editor. See the tutori-
al in section 11.4, Sampling.
(7) Page buttons: Almost any feature of MASCHINE can be accessed using the hardware con-
troller. For a clear and simple layout of the displays, the parameters are grouped into different
pages, which are selected using the Page buttons.
(8) FILE button: Press the FILE button to switch to File mode. In this mode you can quickly
save a copy of your Project, save it under another name, create a new Project, and load a
Project you have loaded recently. Press SHIFT + FILE (Save) to quickly save your modifications
to the current Project.
(9) SETTINGS button: Press the SETTINGS button to adjust the Metronome and Count-in set-
tings.
(10) AUTO button: In MASCHINE, modulation of almost any parameter on the Sound and
Group level is achieved with one-touch simplicity. Press and hold the AUTO button while turn-
ing any of the eight Knobs (or any combination) under the displays to record modulation for
the corresponding parameter(s). Have a look at section 7.3, Modulating Effect Parameters for
a practical example. Press SHIFT + AUTO to pin/unpin the Auto mode. When Auto mode is
pinned, you can release the AUTO button (the button stays lit) and record modulation with
both hands; this is very handy to record modulation for two (or more) parameters simultaneous-
ly! For more information on mode pinning, see 12.1.1, Controller Modes and Mode Pinning.
