MASCHINE 1.5 Reference Manual – 109
1. Hit the Pad with the Sound you want to record to select it and press Play.
2. Press STEP. Now you will see a light chasing through the Pads, starting from Pad 1, go-
ing up all four rows from left to right and ending at Pad 16.
3.
Each Pad now represents one step of a 16-step sequence: you can activate that step by
hitting the Pad once, lighting it up. If you hit it again, the step is gone.
This way it’s easy to quickly put some drums together. By default the rst 16 steps will be
represented in the Step Sequencer so if you want to program longer Patterns, you can switch
to the next 16 steps by using Buttons 7 and 8. To switch to another Sound, use Buttons 5
and 6 located above the Right Display, or press and hold Select and the Pad of the Sound
you want to switch to.
