On the other hand, if you are preparing a track for performing live, you will probably want to
switch back and forth between different Scenes or groups of Scenes during your performance.
This may also be necessary if you are composing a studio track in your host sequencer and
want to control which Scene the MASCHINE plug-in has to play. This is where the MASCHINE
tools described in the following sections come in handy.
13.3.1 Selecting a Loop Range
The basic rule is:
The MASCHINE sequencer is always looping.
In many situations a single Scene will be looped. But MASCHINE also allows you to select sev-
eral consecutive Scenes and play them one after the other in a loop. You can even select a
loop that doesn’t start at the beginning of a Scene or end at the end of a Scene. The looped
region is defined by its Loop Range.
If the playhead is outside the current Loop Range, the playback will loop at the end of
the Project.
In the software the Loop Range is indicated by a highlighted region in the Arranger timeline, as
well as two vertical segments going through the Arranger that represent the start and end
points of the Loop Range:
The Loop Range in the Arranger.
The next paragraphs describe how to select the desired Loop Range.
