Selecting A Loop Range - Native Instruments MASCHINE STUDIO Getting Started

Studio Track or Live Performance?
If you are composing a studio track that you plan to export as is, you can arrange your Scenes
so that your whole track can be played in one go from the very first Scene to the very last one.
Please refer to the Manual for information on exporting audio.
On the other hand, if you are preparing a track for performing live, you will probably want to
switch back and forth between different Scenes or a group of Scenes during your performance.
For this, MASCHINE provides you with various tools to precisely control which Scene(s) has to
be played, and when.

But MASCHINE also allows you to select several consecutive Scenes and play them one after
the other in a loop. Here's how to select the desired range of Scenes.
