Native Instruments Maschine Getting Started Guide

4.3.5 Recording a Pattern with the Software
► In the MASCHINE Software, set a step by double-clicking into the Grid to the right of
the respective Sound.
► To clear the step, right-click (on Mac OS X: [Ctrl]+click) it. You may also drag it to the
right or left, or stretch it by dragging its right border.
There is an Undo function available that you can access from the MASCHINE Software's Edit
menu or by pressing [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+[Z] on your computer keyboard.
4.4 Creating Patterns in Keyboard Mode
Now lets add a melody and bass line to our drums. With MASCHINE you may choose an
internal tonal Sample in the way you chose a drum Sample as described in ↑4.2, Selecting
Sounds and Creating a Group or, alternatively, you may use a VST/AU plug-in instrument
as your sound source as described in ↑4.5, Creating Patterns with Plug-in Instruments.
If you prefer to play your melodies with a MIDI keyboard, connect it to the MIDI In on the
MASCHINE Hardware. You can also use any USB MIDI keyboard selected in the Audio and
MIDI Settings window. The connected MIDI input device will always play the selected
Sound.
