5.4 Playing Tools
On top of the various pad settings described in the previous section (see ↑5.1, Adjusting Your
Pads), MASCHINE also offers you a series of intuitive playing tools particularly useful when
playing live:
▪ Mute and Solo allow you to selectively mute and solo Sounds and Groups: ↑5.4.1, Mute
and Solo.
▪ Choke All Notes allow you to cut all playing audio: ↑5.4.2, Choke All Notes.
â–ª Groove allows you to give a shuffling flair to individual Sounds/Groups or to your entire
Project: ↑5.4.3, Groove.
â–ª Hardware Shortcuts give you a quick access to the most important parameters of each chan-
nel (Sound, Group, and Master): ↑5.4.4, Level, Tempo, Tune, and Groove Shortcuts on
Your Controller.
5.4.1 Mute and Solo
Muting is used to silence a Sound or a Group, whereas Solo is pretty much the opposite: Solo-
ing a Sound or a Group mutes all other Sounds in that Group or all other Groups, respectively,
so that you can listen to the selected Sound or Group alone. The combination of both is a use-
ful means to play live and to test different sequences together.
When used on Sounds, the Solo only applies to the current Group: The Sounds in other Groups
won’t be affected.
We describe here how to mute/solo Groups and Sounds in the Arrange view of the soft-
ware, but you can also do this from Mix view via the Mute button available in each chan-
nel strip of the Mixer! See section ↑9.2.5, Adjusting Settings in the Channel Strips for
more information.
