16.1.2 Following the Playback Position in Your Project
If  the  Arranger  doesn’t  display  the  entire  Loop  Range  currently  selected,  at  some  point  the
playhead will go beyond the portion of your Project currently displayed in the Arranger and you
might loose track of the playback position. To prevent this, you can force the Arranger to follow
the playhead:
Activate the Follow button to keep following the playhead in the Arranger.
► To follow the playhead position in the Arranger during playback, click the Follow button in
the MASCHINE Header.
→ The  Follow  button  lights  up  in  the  MASCHINE  Header.  The  Arranger  will  now  switch  to
the  next  portion  of  your  Project  (with  the  same  zoom  factor)  as  soon  as  the  playhead
reaches the end of the portion currently displayed. This way, you always see the portion of
your Project that is currently played.
The Follow function will be automatically disabled as soon as you manually scroll in the Arranger or
the Pattern Editor (in the software or from your controller).
