Following the Playback Position on Your Controller
To follow the playhead position in the Event area during playback:
1. Press ARRANGE to enter Arrange mode.
2. Press Button 3 (FOLLOW).
→
Both Button 3 and the FOLLOW label underneath light up. In the software the Arranger
will now switch to the next portion of your Project (with the same zoom factor) as soon as
the playhead reaches the end of the portion displayed. You can press ARRANGE again to
leave Arrange mode: the Follow function will stay active.
The Follow function will be automatically disabled as soon as you manually scroll to an-
other portion of the Pattern.
The Follow function simultaneously affects various displays in the software and on your con-
troller:
â–ª In the software the Follow function affects both the Pattern Editor and the Arranger.
â–ª On your controller the Follow function affects the displays in Arrange mode (for both
SCENE and PATTERN pages), Events mode, Step mode, and Note Repeat mode. Addition-
ally, in Step mode the Follow function affects the pads: With Follow enabled, when the
playhead has gone across all 16 steps shown by the pads on your controller, the pads auto-
matically switch to the next 16 steps of the Pattern, if any. See section ↑7.4.2, Creating
Events/Notes for more information on Step mode.
13.1.3 Jumping to Other Sections
MASCHINE provides you with two additional settings to fine-tune the jumps between the
Scene currently playing and the next Scene that is selected:
â–ª The Perform Grid lets you quantize the Section transitions: You can choose the point at
which the playback will leave the current Section. For example, you might not want a newly
selected loop to fire off immediately — you might want it to wait until the next bar line.
The available quantization values are: one bar, one half note, one quarter note, one eighth
note, one sixteenth note, the whole Section, and Off. If you choose Off, the Section change
will be performed immediately after you select the next loop.
