Unlabeled Buttons and Knobs on the Controller
The buttons and knobs above and below the displays on your MASCHINE MK2 controller do
not have labels (all other elements on the controller do).
The unlabeled buttons and knobs on the MASCHINE MK2 controller.
For better reference, we applied a special formatting here: throughout the document, the ele-
ments are capitalized and numbered, so the buttons are written Button (1–8), while the knobs
are written Knob (1–8). For example, whenever you see an instruction such as “Press Button 2
to open the EDIT page,” you’ll know it’s the second button from the left above the displays.
