Adjusting the Choke or Link Parameter for Multiple Sounds with different Choke or Link Values
► Click the MULTI label next to Choke or Link and select the desired value from the list to
set all selected Sounds to that same Choke or Link group, respectively. This also applies
to the Master/Slave setting next to it.
Sound slots 1 to 4 are selected. If they have different Choke values, a MULTI label appears (left). When you click it and
select a new Choke or Link group from the list (middle), this new group is applied to all selected Sounds.
6.3 Playing Tools
On top of the various pad settings described in the previous section (see ↑6.1, Adjusting the
Pads), MASCHINE also offers you a series of intuitive playing tools particularly useful when
playing live:
▪ Mute and Solo allow you to selectively mute and solo Sounds and Groups: ↑6.3.1, Mute
and Solo.
▪ Choke All Notes allow you to cut all playing audio: ↑6.3.2, Choke All Notes.
▪ Groove allows you to give a shuffling flair to individual Sounds/Groups or to your entire
Project: ↑6.3.3, Groove.
