    Hi everybody,

    maybe i´m too dull, but i couldnt find out, how to start a pattern or a scene from any time point. I mean, do i have to repeat a pattern every time from the beginning, when i only want to hear a certain part of a pattern? The same with scenes: sometimes i only want to hear a scene from the middle, but not the whole scene once again. How can i do that? Thank you for every answer, thanks for the support!

    Best regards, Tanzbein

    The only way i have found is to break everything down to smaller increments ie
    Instead of a (1) 4 bar pattern = 1 scene
    4 scenes =4 bars

    If you use Maschine as a plugin inside a DAW you will be able to start wherever you like.
    I use Pro Tools 9 and can have for example a 4 bar pattern loop the last bar only, etc..

    No good news...

    Hello and thanks for your answers!

    But these are not really good news, are they? I mean, i´m used to have control (for example within Reason), where to start the playback, and i´m a bit dissapointed that this basic features doesn´t work with maschine...

    Maybe there´s hope for another solution? ;-)

    Best regards, Tanzbein

    nope can only adjust end of pattern not the beginning, which by the way does really really suck

    can't you just make another pattern of the same group that starts at 0 point and plays as you want? Doesn't seem difficult. you do have the ability to make tons of patterns just make on that starts how you want it to start..

    Step-Buttons on the controller

    Thanks again!

    awol9000, your tip was the one i was looking for. Just a possibiltiy to start where i want to and not always from the beginning. It seems, that the step-function steps always a bar back or forth. Is it always so or can it be handled differently? (so that the step forth and back is for example only a quarter note long or so...)
    But anyway, thanks for your support!

    Best regards, Tanzbein

    If you click on a point in a Pattern then hit the PLAY (not RESTART) a PATTERN will play from that point.

    create a little 4 bar drum loop. On your maschine in standalone mode use the restart, play, forward and back buttons. You'll be a pro in 30 seconds.

    You can also use program change messages to jump to certain scenes.
