MASCHINE 1.5 Reference Manual – 185
11 Sampling & Sample Mapping
MASCHINE allows you to record internal or external audio signals using your audio interface
without having to stop the sequencer. This is a useful feature if you want to record your own
Samples, or rearrange Loops that you have created yourself using MASCHINE. The slicing
feature (Hardware: section 11.1.3, “Slicing a Sample (Hardware),” Software: section 11.2.3,
”Slicing a Sample (Software)”) allows you to slice Loops in order to make them playable at
any tempo without changing their pitch or timing. It is also useful to extract single Samples
from Loops (e.g. a snare sound from a drum loop) quickly or to rearrange Loops by editing
or muting their Slices, changing the order of the Slices, applying a different quantization
or adding Swing. Last but not least you can map your Samples (Hardware: section 11.1.4,
“Mapping a Sample (Hardware),” Software: 11.2.4, “Mapping a Sample (Software)”), thereby
creating multisample Sounds with individual velocity and note ranges, volume and panning.
This is useful to emulate the behavior of classic instruments and synthesizers, but also allows
for a large amount of Samples in only one Sound. The les you record will be stored either
in the Project folder or in the MASCHINE Library folder, depending on your settings in the
Preferences (see chapter 2.4, “Preferences”). Make sure to also check out the tutorial videos
regarding Sampling: “Sampling Part 1” and “Sampling Part 2” from the Native Instruments
website (http://www.native-instruments.com).
