Outside of these three situations, Take Undo has the same effect as Step Undo (seeabove).2.3.6 Pinning a Mode on Your ControllerBesides the default Control mode, your controller has various other modes of operation, whichyou can enter by pressing their dedicated buttons. Depending on their purpose and workflow,these controller modes are of two types:▪ Temporary modes only stay active as long as you hold down their button on the controller.When you release the button, your controller returns to Control mode. This is for examplethe case with the MUTE button.▪ Permanent modes stay active even if you release their button. To deactivate them, you mustpress their button a second time. This is for example the case with the BROWSE button.But in some situations you might want to release the mode button of a temporary mode with-out leaving that mode, e.g., to free your hand and tweak other controls more easily. For thispurpose, MASCHINE lets you pin (or “lock”) temporary modes so that they behave like perma-nent modes.2.3.7 Using Two or More Hardware ControllersIf two or more MASCHINE controllers of different types (MASCHINE STUDIO, MASCHINEMK2, MASCHINE MIKRO MK2, MASCHINE, and MASCHINE MIKRO) are connected to yourcomputer, only one controller can be used to control the MASCHINE software at a time.If you have more than one instance of the MASCHINE software running on your comput-er, you can control each instance with a different controller. See Controlling Various In-stances with Different Controllers for more information.A controller not connected to any MASCHINE software instance can be used in MIDImode (i.e. as a MIDI controller) at the same time as the other controller(s). See the Con-troller Editor Manual for more information on MIDI mode.You can choose which controller you want to use with the MASCHINE software. This can bedone both from your controller and in the software.Basic ConceptsCommon OperationsMASCHINE 2 - Manual - 45
