4 Creating a Pattern
The following tutorials are workflow-oriented and start with the simplest tasks and progres-
sively lead you to more complex operation, helping you familiarize yourself with MA-
SCHINE.
In order to get you started let’s lay out a basic Pattern with some drums, a bass line and a
melody. After reading this, you should have a basic understanding of how to create Sounds
and Groups.
4.1 Finding Samples in the Browser
The Browser is your tool for finding, tagging and categorizing Projects, Groups, Patterns,
Instruments, FX and Samples.
If you want to know more about the Browser's capabilities, please read the Browser chap-
ter in the Reference Manual.
