1.2 In This Document
What you are reading now is the MASCHINE Getting Started. This document consists of a set
of tutorials that will guide you through common workflows in MASCHINE. Please follow these
tutorials in the described order. You will learn a little something in each of them which will be
essential later on. On the way, you will get to know the main objects and concepts of MA-
SCHINE. After reading this, you should have the basic know-how allowing you to make music
with MASCHINE!
Even if you’re already familiar with MASCHINE, all tutorials are worth a read as every
chapter may have little workflow hints of which you weren’t aware. Should you wish to
revise a specific task covered in a later tutorial, be sure to check the prerequisites listed
at the beginning of each chapter!
This document is structured as follows:
▪ The first part is this introduction.
▪ The second part (Chapter 2 to 9) holds the tutorials:
◦ Chapter ↑2, First Steps: Load a drum kit from the factory library via the Browser, play
this kit with the pads and use it to record a simple rhythmic pattern — all this using
your MASCHINE controller only.
