Sampling and Sample Mapping

MASCHINE allows you to record internal or external audio signals using your audio interface
without having to stop the sequencer. This is a useful feature if you want to record your own
Samples, or rearrange loops that you have created yourself using MASCHINE.
The slicing feature (controller:
ing a Sample (Software)) allows you to slice loops in order to make them playable at any tempo
without changing their pitch or timing. It is also useful to extract single Samples from loops
(e.g., a snare sound from a drum loop) quickly or to rearrange loops by editing or muting their
Slices, changing the order of the Slices, applying a different quantization or adding Swing.
Last but not least you can map your Samples (controller:
ware), software: ↑11.2.4, Mapping a Sample
Sounds with individual velocity and note ranges, volume and panning. This is useful to emu-
late the behavior of classic instruments and synthesizers, but also allows for a large amount of
Samples in only one Sound.
Make sure you check out the tutorial videos regarding sampling on the Native Instruments
website (http://www.native-instruments.com).
Before recording an external source please consult the documentation that came with your
audio interface for information on connecting audio devices and instruments.
