Arrangement

The arrangement aspect of a MASCHINE Project.
The arrangement aspect of a MASCHINE Project is about building patterns from audio ma-
terial, and further about putting those patterns into a loop or a song structure. The basic
workflow in building a MASCHINE Song is as follows:
▪ You load or sample audio into a Sound Slot (1).
▪ You record instances of your Sounds by playing the pads. A recorded instance of a
Sound is called an Event (2).
▪ Several Events add up to a Pattern (3).
▪ All of this takes place in the Pattern Editor (4).
▪ In the upper half of the software's user interface you have the Arranger area (5).
