Doubling The Pattern - Native Instruments MASCHINE STUDIO Getting Started

▪ The biggest area of the Pattern Editor (3), in the lower right part, displays the events (the
notes) of the selected Pattern. In other terms, you see here what you recorded in
cording Your First Pattern. Events mirror the colors of their respective Sounds. Vertical
lines indicate the beats and their subdivisions. The thin white line at the top of the pattern
indicates the current play position and the thin white line with a triangle is the pattern end
marker. At the bottom, a horizontal scroll bar allows you to display other parts of the Pat-
tern, in case it is too long to fit on your screen.
Now that we have a better overview of our Pattern, we can start fine-tuning it.

Doubling the Pattern

For now, our Pattern is one bar long. When played in a loop, it might get a bit monotonous. To
solve this, we will exclusively use the controller to double the pattern length and add a little
variation at its end.
This feature is only available when using your controller.
1. Press PATTERN and hold it.
The displays turn to Pattern mode and provide you with Pattern-specific options.
2. While holding PATTERN, press Button 3 above the displays to select DOUBLE.
In the software, you see that the Pattern now is twice as long, and all its events have been
replicated in the second half of the Pattern.
3. Release the PATTERN button.
