(8) Buttons 1–8: About one fourth of the hardware is occupied by the multi-functional control
area, which forms the core of MASCHINE’s mouse-free workflow. The eight Buttons above the
displays dynamically adapt their function to the currently active environment, allowing direct
access to the most important sub-sections and functions. The action they perform is shown be-
low each button in the displays.
(9) Displays: The displays are laid-out to provide you with all essential information — there’s no
need to glance at the computer screen.
(10) Knobs 1–8: Each Knob dynamically controls the parameter shown in the display above it.
When AUTO (7) is pressed during playback, parameter changes are instantly recorded to an au-
tomation track.

(1–3) VOLUME, SWING, and TEMPO buttons: Press these buttons to control the volume, tempo,
and swing of your Project via the Control encoder (4), respectively. These buttons are mutually
exclusive: Only one can be active at any time, and pressing any of them deactivates the previ-
ously active button, if any. When VOLUME, SWING or TEMPO is active (lit), hold a pad or a
Group button and turn the Control encoder to change the volume, pitch or swing for that indi-
vidual Sound or Group, respectively. Press the lit button to deactivate it and switch the Control
encoder back to its default mode (see below).
