Scene
A Scene is a combination of Patterns for each Group. They can be used to combine Patterns in
order to create musical ideas. Scenes are created in the Ideas view and then added to Sections
in the Arranger view to create an arrangement.
Section
A Section is a reference to a specific Scene on the Timeline of the Arranger view and are used
to arrange the Scenes into a larger musical structure. The benefit of using Sections is that any
changes made to a Scene are replicated in each Section where the Scene is referenced there-
fore making the process of changing parts of a song quick and easy.
Send Effect
A send effect is an effect available for audio signals located on other Sounds and/or Groups.
These audio signals can be routed to a variable extent to the send effect for the effect to proc-
ess them. Send effects notably allow you to reuse the same effect on different Sounds and/or
Groups, thereby limiting the overall CPU load.
Sequencer
Generally speaking, a sequencer is a hardware unit or software tool that arranges musical se-
quences, e.g. drum patterns or chord progressions. Hardware sequencers typically function as
a set of steps, where every step can be filled with musical content. The steps are then played
back as a musical sequence. MASCHINE has its own sequencing abilities: you can record and
play single Patterns as well as arrange Patterns into Scenes and Scenes into full songs.
Solo
See Mute and Solo.
Sound
Sounds are the building blocks of all sound content in MASCHINE. They are organized into
Groups that can hold up to 16 Sounds each. Sounds can be played directly from the pads on
your controller. A Sound can be loaded with Plug-ins of various types (sound source or effect,
Internal or External, etc.).
