2.9 Using Footswitches with Your MASCHINE STUDIO Controller
Your MASCHINE STUDIO Controller provides two footswitch inputs in the form of 1/4" sockets
on its rear panel.
The footswitch inputs on the rear panel of your controller.
These sockets allow you to control the transport in MASCHINE via footswitches:
▪ FOOTSWITCH 1: Starts/stop the playback in MASCHINE. This is equivalent to the PLAY
button on your controller and the Play button in the software’s Header.
▪ FOOTSWITCH 2: Engage/disengage recording in MASCHINE. This is equivalent to the REC
button on your controller and the Record button in the software’s Header.
You can use “toggle” switches (press it once to turn it on, press it again to turn it off) or
“gate” switches (hold it to turn it on, release to turn it off) for either footswitch inputs as
you see fit. For example, we recommend you to plug a toggle switch into the FOOT-
SWITCH 1 socket to control the playback, and a gate switch into the FOOTSWITCH 2
socket to momentarily engage recording as long as you hold the switch depressed!
