9 Creating ScenesIn the previous tutorials you created a few Patterns for the drum kit Group and bass Group.Using these Patterns you can now start to create your own Scenes. A Scene is made of a varia-ble number of Patterns that each represent a certain part of the song, e.g., intro, verse, chorus,break, another verse… Scenes are a very flexible way to create each part of your song.In this tutorial, we will:▪ Create Scenes by combining together the Patterns we created in the previous tutorials.▪ Become familiar with Scene handling and prepare them for the Arranger.▪ Discover various MASCHINE tools for performing live.PrerequisitesIt is assumed here that you have followed the previous tutorials. In particular, you already knowhow to manipulate Groups (↑6.1, Selecting Another Group) and Patterns (↑5.2, Adding a Sec-ond Pattern). If you have any doubts about these tasks, please refer to the corresponding tuto-rials before proceeding.Furthermore, we assume that while following the previous chapters you accumulated a reason-able amount of Patterns for each Group (at least three or four Patterns per Group). If this is notthe case, we invite you to do it now as you will need them to compose your song.If your tutorial Project “My First Project” is not open, please open it now:► Open the tutorial Project “My First Project.”9.1 Working with ScenesThe place where you assign Patterns to Scenes is in the Arranger, located in the top right partof the MASCHINE window.This is how Scenes work:▪ Only one Scene is played at a time.Creating ScenesWorking with ScenesMASCHINE - Getting Started - 130
