Swing Also Applied To Note Repeat / Arp Output; Creating Parameter Snapshots Using Lock - Native Instruments MASCHINE Manual

▪ You can use Note Repeat and Arp even if the transport is not running: In this case the Note
Repeat / Arp engine will use its own central clock. This clock will be reset as soon as you
start the playback.
KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES owners: The central clock is shared by all connected
devices, so that e.g. repeated notes triggered from your MASCHINE controller and ar-
peggios triggered from your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard will be synchron-
ized even if the transport is not running.

Swing Also Applied to Note Repeat / Arp Output

The Swing engines (at the Master, Group, and Sound level) process notes coming from the Pat-
tern Editor and from the Arp engine (pads in Keyboard mode) or Note Repeat engine (pads in
Group mode). In other terms, the swing is applied not only to your Patterns but also to any live
sequence generated by the Arp or Note Repeat engine.
The applied swing is not recorded in the Pattern Editor. For an overview of the signal
flow starting from your pads, have a look at the diagrams in section
the Perform Features.
For example, when you play live beats on top of a running Pattern, you can use Note Repeat
without destroying the Pattern's groove: the repeated notes will be processed using the same
swing parameters as the playing Pattern.
When the playback is not running, the swing is still applied to the output of Arp (Key-
board mode) or Note Repeat (Group mode). If you press
playback starts immediately and the swing cycle is reset.

Creating Parameter Snapshots using Lock

Lock allows you to create up to sixty-four snapshots spread across four banks of sixteen pads
providing a total of up to sixty-four snapshots. Each snapshot contains every modulatable pa-
rameter in your project, including your Solo and Mute settings. Once created, you can use Ex-
