Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 - Using the Smart Strip

MIDI Scene change has priority over Lock change. If you select the same MIDI Source
and Channel for Lock and Scene changes, only Scenes will be triggered by the corre-
sponding events coming from the MIDI source. Corresponding Lock snapshots will not
be recalled.
For more information on triggering Lock snapshots using your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation),
please check the Knowledge Base on the Native Instruments website.
5.7 Using the Smart Strip
The Smart Strip on the controller puts control of several parameters literally at your fingertips:
You can use the Smart Strip to apply pitch bend or modulation to the sound you are playing on
the pads, or you can tweak Perform FX in real time. You can also play Sounds by strumming on
the Smart Strip.

5.7.1 Pitch Mode
In Pitch mode, sliding your finger on the Smart Strip “bends” the pitch of the notes you play on
the pads, i.e., it detunes the sound by a certain amount. If you have used the pitch bend
wheel on a synthesizer or standard MIDI keyboard before, you are probably familiar with the
effect.
