Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 User Manual

2.9 Using a Pedal with the MASCHINE Controller
Your MASCHINE MK3 Controller provides a pedal input in the form of 1/4" socket on its rear
panel.
The pedal input on the rear panel of your controller.
The PEDAL socket allows you to use a pedal footswitch to control the transport in MASCHINE.
A single footswitch with two pedals can be used to control the transport in the following way:
▪ Pedal 1: Starts/stop the playback in MASCHINE. This is equivalent to the PLAY button on
your controller and the Play button in the software’s Header.
▪ Pedal 2: Engage/disengage recording in MASCHINE. This is equivalent to the REC button
on your controller and the Record button in the software’s Header.
The PEDAL socket can also be configured to send Continuous MIDI CC messages in the
Preferences of the Controller Editor software. For more information read the MASCHINE
MK3 chapter of the Controller Editor manual.
2.10 File Management on the MASCHINE Controller
The MASCHINE controller provides a dedicated mode that allows you to manage your Project
files. This includes creating new Project files, saving Project files and also saving copies of
files as you work through iterations of your project. In addition, you can also view recent
Projects that have been worked on, and of course load existing Projects.
