▪ Click the little cross at the top right corner of a mini waveform to delete this particular re-
cording.
▪ Drag any mini waveform to another Sound slot to load it in that Sound.
Right-click (macOS: [Ctrl]-click) any mini waveform in the Recording History to open a context
menu with the following commands:
Command Description
Delete Deletes the displayed Sample from the Recording History. This has
the same effect as clicking the little cross at the top right corner of
the selected mini waveform in the Recording History.
Remove unused
recordings
Deletes from the Recording History all recordings that are not
currently mapped to any Zone in the Zone page.
Map recordings to
zones
Automatically maps all recordings of the Recording History to Zones
in the Zone page. The created Zones are put on adjacent keys and
cover the entire velocity range. Any existing Zones will be replaced.
The Recording History is not saved with the Project! The Recording History is meant as
a temporary tool to help you manage the various recordings made during the current ses-
sion. When you close the current Project, the Recording History is cleared for all Sounds
— nevertheless all your recordings are saved as audio files and available for later use
unless you explicitly delete them (via the MASCHINE interface or in your operating sys-
tem).
Checking Your Recordings on the Controller
You can visualize the last recordings you have made in the current Sound on the right display
of your controller:
