Native Instruments Maschine Getting Started

5.1 Selecting another Group
Until now, you have only used the first Group available in your Project. Groups are labeled from
A1 to H1. You will now select another Group and load a bass Sound into it. Loading the bass
into a different Group slot will later allow us to handle it separately, and easily combine it with
the existing drum kit Group and its Patterns.
In MASCHINE it is possible to have more than one Group bank! In this tutorial you will
only be working with Group bank 1. Each Group bank contains 8 groups, and when a
new bank is created the groups in each bank will be labeled sequentially; e.g. The
Groups in Group bank 2 will be labeled A2 to H2 and Group bank 3 A3 to H3. For more
detailed information on creating and selecting additional Group banks please refer to
the Manual.
