The right-hand display provides an overview of the available pages for the selected Channel or
Plug-in.
► To access each page of the selected Channel or Plug-in, press pads 1–16.
→ After pressing a pad the selected page is displayed in the software, and on the controller
when you exit Navigation mode by pressing the NAVIGATE button.
When there are more than sixteen pages for a Channel or Plug-in it is necessary to use the
Page Bank.
► To access another page with the Page Bank press Buttons 7 and 8.
The pages for the selected bank are displayed in the software and the controller.
2.3.9 Using Two or More Hardware Controllers
If two or more MASCHINE controllers of different types (MASCHINE STUDIO, MA-
SCHINE MK3, MASCHINE MK2, MASCHINE MIKRO MK2, MASCHINE, MASCHINE MIKRO,
and MASCHINE JAM) are connected to your computer, only one controller can be used to con-
trol the MASCHINE software at a time.
If you have more than one instance of the MASCHINE software running on your comput-
er, you can control each instance with a different controller. See ↑2.5.3, Controlling Var-
ious Instances with Different Controllers for more information.
A controller not connected to any MASCHINE software instance can be used in MIDI
mode (i.e. as a MIDI controller) at the same time as the other controller(s). See the Con-
troller Editor Manual for more information on MIDI mode.
You can choose which controller you want to use with the MASCHINE software. This can be
done both from your controller and in the software.
You can select the desired controller from the Controller menu in the Application Menu Bar or
from the Controller submenu in the MASCHINE menu:
