Native Instruments Maschine Getting Started Guide

▪ The Project also contains the arrangement of your Song, how patterns are built from
events which trigger Sounds, and how they are arranged into a song structure using
Scenes and Pattern Clips.
So basically there are two aspects to a MASCHINE Project: the sound content and the ar-
rangement. The following section will explain these aspects in detail.
3.1.1 Sound Content
The sound content aspect of a MASCHINE Project.
The sound content aspect of a MASCHINE Project includes all the audio material — the
instruments and effects contained in your Project file, and how these are structured:
▪ A MASCHINE Project file (1) offers 8 Groups (A-H) (2), which again hold 16 Sound
Slots (1-16) (3) each. Each Sound Slot can be filled with audio material.
