User Manual

This procedure has following benefits over the duplication described above:
▪ You can paste the copy into the Scene slot of your choice — empty or not. If the target
Scene slot already contains a Scene, it will be replaced by the copied Scene. Of course
you can select the target slot in another Scene bank: After you have selected the source
Scene, switch to the desired Scene bank using Buttons 7 and 8 before you select the tar-
get Scene slot.
▪ If you activate F1 (+PAT), the Clips of the pasted Scene will not reference the original Pat-
terns used by the source Scene, but instead use their own duplicates of the Patterns! In
other words the Patterns are duplicated as well. This can be very useful to create a varia-
tion of a Scene without modifying the original Patterns still in use in the original Scene.
▪ Last but not least, this command is also available outside the Scene mode: Simply press
and hold DUPLICATE + SCENE (instead of DUPLICATE alone in Scene mode) before se-
lecting the source and target slots!
13.3 Playing with Scenes
MASCHINE provides you with various tools to precisely control which Scene has to be played,
and when.
Studio Track or Live Performance?
If you are composing a studio track that you plan to export as is, you can arrange your Scenes
so that your whole track can be played in one go from the very first Scene to the very last one.
Please refer to section ↑4.4.3, Exporting Audio for information on exporting audio.
On the other hand, if you are preparing a track for performing live, you will probably want to
switch back and forth between different Scenes or groups of Scenes during your performance.
This may also be necessary if you are composing a studio track in your host sequencer and
want to control which Scene the MASCHINE plug-in has to play. This is where the MASCHINE
tools described in the following sections come in handy.
