SynC oFFSEt SlavE
Depending on various variables such as the speed of your
CPU, your audio interface, your MIDI interface and the
Latency you selected in the Audio and MIDI Settings,
you may experience a lack of synchronization between
MASCHINE and the external MIDI Master. To compensate
for that, you can adjust this Sync Offset Slave value in mil-
liseconds. An easy way to do that is to play a 4/4 kick drum
Pattern or a Metronome sound on both MASCHINE (see
chapter 6.1.4, ”The Metronome,” on how to activate the
Metronome) and the external MIDI Master and mix them
together moving the slider until they are played at exactly
the same time. As soon as you can hear a anger-like ef-
fect, you know you are close to the correct Sync Offset Slave
value. Keep on adjusting the Sync Offset Slave until you can
neither hear the anging effect nor two separate signals.
InpUt ChannEl
Use the Input Channel control to set the MIDI channel you
want MASCHINE to receive MIDI messages on. Limiting
MIDI input to one channel can keep MASCHINE from play-
ing unwanted MIDI notes sent by external devices.
