Building Your Own Drum Kit

In this tutorial, we will exchange some of the Sounds of our drum kit, and adjust a few settings
for our Project and our Group. On the way, we will discover some features of the MASCHINE
software user interface.
Prerequisites
We assume here that you followed the previous tutorial. In particular, you already know how to:
▪ Load a Group using the Browser.
▪ Use the pads to play the Sounds of that Group.
▪ Record a simple Pattern with that Group.
▪ Save the current Project for a later use.
If you have any doubts about these tasks, please refer to chapter
ceeding!

Opening Your Project

If for any reason our tutorial Project is not currently open in MASCHINE (e.g., you opened an-
other Project in the meantime), you first need to open it again. You can do this with the con-
troller or in the software, for example using the MASCHINE Browser.
If you closed MASCHINE and started it again, your last Project should automatically
load by default. If you changed this setting, follow these instructions to load the tutorial
Project again!
If the tutorial Project is already open in MASCHINE, you can skip to section
Your Drum Kit.
Available both on your controller and in the software, the Browser will be the preferred way to
open a project when working on your controller. Here we will use a nice feature of MASCHINE:
Each file you created and saved in MASCHINE is automatically put in "User" content. Hence,
we will select the User icon in the Content selector to quickly find our tutorial Project again.
