5.4.3 Loading an Additional Bass SoundTo enhance your song further, you will load another bass Sound next to “Analovue.” This sec-ond bass could for example play rhythmic lines with somewhat higher frequencies.Selecting the Sound Slot 2Before you load another Sound, you first need to select another Sound slot — e.g., Sound slot2.In the software, you can select the Sound slot 2 as usual by clicking its name in the PatternEditor.On your controller, you will notice that pressing pad 2 only is not working for selecting Soundslot 2: Indeed, since your pads are in Keyboard mode, they don’t play/select each Sound slotbut play each note of the same Sound slot 1. To circumvent this, do the following on your con-troller:1. Press and hold SELECT.2. Check that QUIET is selected at the top of the display. If not, press F1 to select it.3. While still holding SELECT, press pad 2 to select Sound slot 2.→ Sound slot 2 is now selected.Holding SELECT while pressing the pad selects the Sound slot regardless of which pad mode is ac-tive; on the contrary, pressing the pad only does not select the Sound slot if the Keyboard mode isactive. Moreover, when holding the SELECT button, you don’t hear the Sound when you press thepad — hence the label QUIET in the display. This can be very useful when your song is playing andyou don’t want the audience to hear your selection!You can also press SELECT (and F1 if necessary) to visually check on your pads which Sound slot iscurrently selected!Adding a Bass LineRecording a Bass LineMASCHINE MIKRO - Getting Started - 81
