4.2.2.1 Prelistening to Sounds on the MASCHINE MIKRO Controller
On your controller, pre-listening to Sounds actually is the default behavior: In Control mode,
when you press a pad you both trigger its Sound and bring it into focus at once. Hence, you
don’t need to enable anything, pre-listening to Sounds in the focused Group is working out of
the box.
Setting the Focus on Sounds Without Triggering Them
You can also set the focus on any Sound in the current Group without triggering it. This comes
in handy if you are in a live situation and don’t want to trigger every single Sound you select.
To do this, use the Select mode:
1. Press and hold the SELECT button.
2. Check that F1 (QUIET) is enabled — if necessary, press it to enable it.
3. Press the pad containing the desired Sound.
The Sound is focused without being triggered.
4.2.3 Renaming Sound Slots
By default, Sound slots are named Sound 116. If you load a Sound, a Plug-in preset or a
Sample (e.g., from the Browser) into the Sound slot, the Sound slot takes the Sound’s, preset’s
or Sample’s name.
You can also rename Sound slots manually. Naming is only available from within the software,
but any changes will also show up on your controller.
To rename a Sound slot:
