Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 User Manual

10.6 Creating MIDI Tracks from Scratch in MASCHINE
Within MASCHINE you can create MIDI tracks from scratch for any Sound of your Project. MA-
SCHINE’s MIDI automation tracks can have two purposes:
▪ When playback is on, the content of these tracks is sent in real time as MIDI data via the
MIDI output of the Sound (if enabled). Configuring the MIDI output of Sounds is done in
the MIDI page of the Sound’s Output properties — see section ↑11.2.5, Sending MIDI
from Sounds for more information.
▪ When exporting your Pattern as a MIDI file for use in another environment, MIDI automa-
tion tracks will be included in the exported MIDI file. See section ↑10.8.2, Exporting MIDI
from Patterns for more information.
You cannot create MIDI tracks for Groups nor for the Master.
Creating and editing MIDI tracks is done in the MIDI pane of the Control Lane:
Create MIDI tracks in the MIDI pane of the Control Lane.
1. Click the desired Sound in the Sound List on the left of the Pattern Editor.
2. If the Control Lane is not visible at the bottom of the Pattern Editor, click the up-pointing
arrow in the bottom left corner of the Pattern Editor to show it.
