Example with playback on: Assuming that the Pattern Grid resolution is set to one bar, if you
click around the 8.3 mark (3rd beat of the 8th bar) in the timeline when the playhead reaches
the 3.2 mark (2nd beat of the 3rd bar), the playhead will jump from the 3.2 to the 8.2 mark
(2nd beat of the 8th bar) and continue from there.
You can also change the playback position by switching to another Scene. The moment
at which the jump will occur depends on the Perform Grid setting. See section ↑10.1.6,
Adjusting the Arrange Grid and the Pattern Length for more information.
15.5 Triggering Sections or Scenes via MIDI
You can trigger and change Sections and Scenes using MIDI Note or MIDI Program Change
messages sent from your host to the MASCHINE plug-in or MIDI controller.
When this feature is enabled, MIDI notes or Program Change messages are linked to the first
128 Section slots or Scenes (depending on your settings) whether they are empty or not:
Section/Scene Slot MIDI Note Number Program Change Number
1 0 1
2 1 2
3 2 3
… … …
128 127 128
MIDI Note numbers: Host applications use various conventions to name MIDI notes. For
example, in MASCHINE, MIDI note number 0 is referred to as C-2 and MIDI note num-
ber 60 (middle C) as C3. Please refer to the documentation of your host to know which
convention is used.
Program Change numbers: Some host applications send Program Change numbers in the
range [0–127] instead of [1–128]. In that case, the PC number 0 will trigger Section/
Scene slot 1, PC 1 will trigger Section/Scene slot 2, etc. Please refer to the documenta-
tion of your host to know in which range it sends Program Change numbers.
