Transposing Events/Notes; Compare/Split - Native Instruments MASCHINE MIKRO MK2 Manual

Setting the Step Grid to "Off" and then using Nudge will shift events/notes in extremely

shifting the snare drum so that it is ever so slightly late, or "in the pocket" (something a
funk drummer does naturally!).

software's Pattern Editor. This means that this Pattern change is temporarily saved in a buffer
and can be compared with the original state. If you select another Pattern, the latest state of
the Pattern will be stored and the Pattern slot will no longer show the asterisk.
To switch between the edited Pattern and its original state, press
