User Manual

You can easily record the output of a particular Sound by setting SOURCE to INTER-
NAL, soloing this Sound and selecting its parent Group in the INPUT selector!
You can also set SOURCE to INTERNAL, choose as INPUT a Group with a drum kit
loaded, and record your live improvisations on the pads while playing this drum kit! You
will then have your own improvisations recorded as Samples, ready to be used, edited,
sliced, etc., as any other Samples in MASCHINE!
Choosing a Recording Mode
Once you have selected the desired source, choose a recording mode:
Parameter
Description
MODE (Knob 3) Selects from the two available recording modes:
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 press Button 5 (START). The recording will
start at the top of the next bar. Using Knob 4 (LENGTH), you can
choose a length for the Sample to be recorded: either 1, 2, 4, 8, or
16 bars — or choose FREE if you don’t want to set any duration limit
to the recording. At any time you can press Button 5 (STOP) to stop
the recording before the duration defined by LENGTH has been
reached — the recording will then stop at the next bar.
DETECT: If DETECT is selected, you can set a certain threshold using
Knob 4 (THRESHOLD). The threshold is indicated by a little arrow
above the level meters on the left display. After you pressed Button 5
(START), the input signal level exceeding this threshold will start the
recording. You can then manually stop the recording by pressing
Button 5 (STOP) again. This is useful to record a singer or an
instrumentalist, for example.
