Naming Convention
Throughout the documentation we will refer to MASCHINE controller (or just controller) as the
hardware controller and MASCHINE software as the software installed on your computer.
The term "effect" will sometimes be abbreviated as "FX" when referring to elements in the MA-
SCHINE software and hardware. These terms have the same meaning.
Button Combinations and Shortcuts on Your Controller
Most instructions will use the "+" sign to indicate buttons (or buttons and pads) that must be
pressed simultaneously, starting with the button indicated first. E.g., an instruction such as:
"Press SHIFT + PLAY"
means:
1. Press and hold SHIFT.
2. While holding SHIFT, press
3. Release SHIFT.
Unlabeled Buttons on the Controller
The buttons and knobs above and below the displays on your MASCHINE controller do not
have labels (all other elements on the controller do).
PLAY and release it.
