Creating a Song using Scenes

Creating a Song on MASCHINE is easy and straightforward. The basic concept is this:
Groups and their Patterns are combined in Clips, a Clip being a representation of a Group
with a specific Pattern. The Patterns are automatically named by their Pattern number,
but Clips may be renamed at anytime. A Song is divided into up to 64 Scenes; the Scenes
are parts of the Song containing different Groups and their Pattern content.

Creating a Clip in the Arranger

Each clip placed in the Arranger references one of the Patterns created in the Pattern Edi-
tor. Therefore, when the content or length of a Pattern is edited, all referencing clips in
the Arranger will automatically get updated.
