Display Element Description
SOURCE You can select the Source by using Knob 1: it can be either set to Extern
for audio signals connected to your audio interface, or Intern for audio sig-
nals from MASCHINE itself (either from another Group or from the Master
Output).
INPUT Using Knob 2 you can choose between the available Inputs. If EXTERN is
selected, you can choose the external input of MASCHINE: IN 1 L, IN 1 R,
OR IN 1 L + R. If INTERN is selected you can select from the available
Groups and the Master as a source.
MODE MASCHINE offers two different modes for starting the recording available
via Knob 3.
DETECT: If DETECT is selected, you can set a certain THRESHOLD using
Knob 4, and, after pressing START, the input signal level exceeding this
threshold will start the recording. This is useful to record a singer or an in-
strumentalist, for example.
SYNC: If SYNC is selected, you can synchronize the recording function to
the sequencer, so that the recording starts in sync with the sequencer after
you hit START (Button 5).
Note: the recording will start as soon as the sequencer starts; if it is al-
ready running, the recording will start at the top of the next bar. Using
Knob 4, you can choose a length for the Sample to be recorded: either 1,
2, 4, 8, or 16 bars or choose Free if you want to stop the recording your-
self.
START
START (Button 5) will start the recording. If you have selected SYNC, MA-
SCHINE will wait for the next bar before starting to record; if you have se-
lected Detect, the recording will start as soon as the THRESHOLD is met.
CANCEL (Button 6) cancels the recording; the recorded Sample will not be
saved. CANCEL is only available after the recording has been started.
DELETE All Samples are stored in the recording history. Using Button 6 you can de-
lete Samples you have recorded from the recording history.
