(6) REC button: When playback is on, press REC to begin recording. Or when playback is off,
press SHIFT + REC to begin recording with a Count-in. Press REC a second time to stop re-
cording. Hold the REC button to access Pattern Preset mode, this allows you to select a preset
for the Pattern Length before recording any events.
(7) ERASE button: When creating music, erasing needs to be as quick and simple as recording,
so there is a dedicated button for this! During playback, hold ERASE and hold any number of
pads to erase the events for the corresponding Sounds on the fly as the playback goes on. Hold
a Group button to erase all its events at once. Use the shortcut ERASE + EVENTS + pad to
quickly erase all events triggered by that pad in your Pattern. If you automated a parameter,
hold ERASE and turn the corresponding Knob under the displays to erase the automation of
this parameter.
(8) SHIFT button: While the most important features are accessible through dedicated buttons,
many shortcuts are available by holding the SHIFT button and other buttons (where labeled).
You can also use the SHIFT button to change parameters in finer increments when entering
values with the Knobs.
All hardware shortcuts are explained in the Hardware Control Reference, available from
the Help menu in the MASCHINE software.
