You can select multiple Sound slots and quickly assign them all to a particular Link group
at once!
To assign the selected Sound(s) to a Link group and set its/their Link mode (Master or Slave),
do the following:
1. Click the Pad View button above the Sound List in the Pattern Editor to show the Pad
view for the focused Group.
2. In the Link section click the Group value and select the desired group 1–8 from the list or
choose None (default setting) to remove the Sound from its current Link group.
3. In the same Link section click the Mode value (Master or Slave) to switch the Sound be-
tween Master (default setting) and Slave mode.
A Link group makes sense only if more than one pad/Sound are assigned to it!
5.1.5.1 Using Link Groups on the MASCHINE MIKRO MK2 Controller
To assign the selected pad(s) / Sound slot(s) to a Link group and set its/their Link mode on
your controller:
1. Hold the PAD MODE button to enter Pad Mode (or press PAD MODE + CONTROL to pin
it).
2. Use the Left/Right Arrow buttons to display the 3/6: LINK GROUP parameter.
3. Turn the Control encoder to select the desired Link group 1–8 for that pad or choose NONE
(default setting) to remove the pad from its current Link group.
4. Press the Right Arrow button to display the 4/6: LINK MODE parameter.
5.
Turn the Control encoder to select the desired Link mode from MASTER (default setting) or
SLAVE for that pad.
6. Release PAD MODE (or press it again if you pinned the mode).
5.2 Playing Tools
On top of the various pad settings described in the previous section (see ↑5.1, Adjusting Your
Pads), MASCHINE also offers you a series of intuitive playing tools particularly useful when
