  • Page 110: Doubling A Pattern

    Hence, to avoid losing the Pattern’s groove, MASCHINE JAM allows you to half-quantize your events: Events are moved half way toward the closest beat/subdivision. Therefore, you get a tighter rhythm while keeping its human touch and groove.

  • Page 111: Transposing A Pattern

    In addition to the Step Grid, a secondary grid specifically controls the timings at which existing events/notes can be nudged in the Pattern: the Nudge Grid. Nudging events means shifting them a small amount ahead or behind their current position. The Nudge Grid is based on the Step Grid: MASCHINE JAM - Manual - 111...
