Creating a Song Using Scenes
In MASCHINE, a song is made of a variable number of Scenes, which represent the different
parts of the song — e.g., intro, verse, chorus, break, another verse… Scenes provide a very
flexible way to arrange your song.
12.1 Arranger Basics
The place where you organize Scenes is the Arranger, located in the top right part of the MA-
SCHINE window.
For the Arranger to be visible the software must be in Arrange view (true by default). If
you cannot see the Arranger, click the highlighted Mix View button left of the Mixer to
switch from Mix view to Arrange view. You can also do this from your controller — see
section
2.2.3, Switching between Arrange View and Mix View
for more information.
The Arranger shows your Scenes in columns. You can have any number of Scenes.
To get you started we recommend you load a Project from the Factory Library and have a look
at the Arranger:
Factory Project “Slammin’” in the Arranger with Scene 3 selected.
This is how Scenes work:
▪
Only one Scene is played at a time.
▪
In each Scene (i.e. each column of the Arranger), you can choose to play one particular
Pattern of each Group.
