MASCHINE 1.5 Reference Manual – 105
6 Working with Patterns (Hardware)
Creating a Pattern is where the fun starts, because the Sequencer really is the core of
MASCHINE. It comes with a complex, yet easy to use Pattern Editor and sophisticated au-
tomation possibilities.
Make sure to also check out the tutorial videos regarding the Sequencer: “Step Recording”
and “Live Recording 1-3” available on the Native Instruments website at http://www.native-
instruments.com. The MASCHINE Controller is a sequencing instrument right at your nger-
tips; like any other instrument it needs some practice and some trial & error to get to know
it, but you will be rewarded with a fun way of making music.
6.1 Creating Patterns
6.1.1 Pattern Mode
The Pattern Mode is where you select your Patterns, change their length, remove Patterns
or double their content. Each Group can have up to 64 Patterns. To enter Pattern Mode on
your MASCHINE Controller, hit PATTERN (lockable by pressing Button 1 at the same time).
The Hardware Displays in Pattern Mode
Selecting a Pattern
On the Right Display, you will see all available Patterns of a Pattern Bank. To select a Pattern,
press the Pad corresponding to the desired Pattern. To switch between the four Pattern Banks,
use Button 5 (for Bank A), Button 6 (for Bank B), Button 7 (for Bank C) or Button 8 (for Bank D).
