Jumping to Other Scenes

By selecting another loop range or another Scene (which is nothing more than a one-Scene-
long loop range!) for playing as described above, you can easily adapt your song live. MA-
SCHINE provides you with two additional settings to fine-tune the jumps between the Scene
currently playing and the next loop range selected:
▪ The Scene Sync setting lets you quantize the Scene transitions: You can choose the point
at which the playback will leave the current Scene. For example, you might not want a
newly selected loop to fire off immediately—you might want it to wait until the next bar
line. The available quantization values are one bar, one half note, one quarter note, one
eighth note, the whole Scene, and Off. If you choose Off, the Scene change will be per-
formed immediately after you select the next loop.
▪ The Retrigger setting lets you decide where the next loop will start:
◦ If Retrigger is enabled, the next loop range you select will be forced to play from the
start. This is useful if you always want your Scenes to play from the beginning regard-
less of what's happening elsewhere in the music.
