Special Formatting
This manual contains some elements that appear in a different font type. These distinctive
formats have been applied in order to let you recognize certain elements in the text at a glance:
•
Hardware and Software: Most of MASCHINE‘s functions are accessible via both, the
MASCHINE Controller and the MASCHINE software interface. In case there is no separate
chapter, instructions for MASCHINE Controller operation will be labeled with an orange
heading.
• Menu Item: Items from MASCHINE’s menus are printed in italics.
•
GUI E
lEmEnt
: Elements from MASCHINE’s graphical user interface (GUI) are printed in
Small CapS. Consequently you will notice that this formatting has been applied to all
names of knobs, buttons and other elements that let you interact with the MASCHINE
software, but not to the names that relate to the MASCHINE Controller’s Knobs, Pads, etc.
