Screen Element Description
Sync Offset Slave Depending on variables such as the speed of your CPU, your audio inter-
face, your MIDI interface and the Latency you selected in the Audio and
MIDI Settings window, you may experience a lack of synchronization be-
tween MASCHINE and the external MIDI Master. To compensate, you can
adjust this Sync Offset Slave value in milliseconds. An easy way to do that
is to play a 4/4 kick drum pattern or a metronome sound on both MA-
SCHINE (see chapter ↑6.1.6, The Metronome on how to activate the Met-
ronome) and the external MIDI Master and mix them together moving the
slider until they are played at exactly the same time. As soon as you can
hear a flanger-like effect, you know you are close to the correct Sync Offset
Slave value. Keep on adjusting the Sync Offset Slave control until you can
neither hear the flanging effect nor two separate signals.
Input Channel Use this to select the MIDI channel you want MASCHINE to receive MIDI
messages on. This can be used to limit MIDI input sent by the external
sync master device. The Omni setting will allow the MASCHINE software to
receive messages on all 16 channels at one.
