16.2.5 Set Up Your Own Multi-effect Groups and Automate Them
You can setup multi-effect Groups containing all the effects you want to use in a live set. You
can find several multi-effect Groups in the LIBRARY pane of the Browser to give you an idea of
what works for you. To be able to quickly change and modulate the effect settings, you can set
modulation for the multi-effect as Patterns from within the MASCHINE software. By using Pat-
terns for the multi-effect Group you could for example trigger a filter sweep or a wild modulat-
ed Beat Delay. See section ↑11.4, Creating Multi-Effects for more details!
16.3 Special Tricks
16.3.1 Changing Pattern Length for Variation
Try a short Pattern Grid resolution like a quarter or eighth note and change the Pattern Length
(see section ↑7.1.6, Adjusting the Pattern Grid and the Pattern Length) to create variations of
a Pattern. If you select an even smaller value like 1/64th you can create stuttering breaks and
rolls.
16.3.2 Using Loops to Cycle Through Samples
You can use loops to cycle through Samples, creating glitches and stuttering breaks or interest-
ing soundscapes. Just enter the ZONE page in Sampling mode on your controller, switch on
the ACTIVE parameter on the Loop page and play with the parameters for the start and end
point of the loop. Use the SHIFT button to change the values in smaller increments. See
↑6.2.1, Page 1: Voice Settings / Engine for more on this. Note: this technique requires that
you choose either AHD or ADSR as the Amplitude Envelope in the Sampler’s Parameter pages
(see ↑14.5.4, Selecting and Editing Zones in the Map View).
16.3.3 Load Long Audio Files and Play with the Start Point
You can adjust the start point of a Sample in the Sampler’s Parameter pages (see ↑6.2.1, Page
1: Voice Settings / Engine). If you load a long audio file, you can create interesting variations
by tweaking (…or modulating) the start point.
