Following the Playback Position in the Pattern

If the Event area doesn't display the entire Loop Range selected, at some point the playhead
will go beyond the portion of the Pattern currently displayed and you might loose sight of the
playback position. To prevent this, you can force the Event area to follow the playhead:
Activate the Follow button to keep following the playhead in the Event area.
To follow the playhead position in the Event area during playback, click the Follow button
►
in the MASCHINE Header.
The Follow button lights up in the MASCHINE Header. The Event area will now switch to
→
the next Pattern portion (with the same zoom factor) as soon as the playhead reaches the
end of the portion currently displayed. This way, you always see the Pattern portion that is
being played.
