This is useful when running BATTERY in standalone mode or in your DAW as a plug-in. You can use the MASCHINE controller to trigger sounds in BATTERY without using the MASCHINE software. Triggering BATTERY with the MASCHINE Hardware

The BATTERY Kit sounds can now be triggered by the MASCHINE controller pads. Note: On a MASCHINE MIKRO MK3, use the Encoder Knob to dial in C1 as the Root Note. This will ensure that all MASCHINE Pads will correspond with the 16 BATTERY drum sounds. Use the OCTAVE- / OCTAVE+ buttons displayed on the right-side display of the MASCHINE controller to set the Root Note of the first pad to C1.

While in KEYBOARD mode, the left-side display of the MASCHINE controller will show the name of the Kit, and the Root Note value.

The KEYBOARD button will become illuminated when active.

Press KEYBOARD on the MASCHINE controller.

The BATTERY GUI will display at the MASCHINE Sound level.

Note: You can quickly view the BATTERY window in MASCHINE by pressing the TAB key on your computer keyboard. On all other MASCHINE controllers, the button is labeled BROWSER. Please be aware, the MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 Browser button is labeled with a magnifying glass symbol.

Press BROWSER on the MASCHINE controller and turn the encoder knob to select a Kit.

Select BATTERY and one of the Banks, such as Battery Now Library or any Expansions you may see listed.

Load a BATTERY Kit into MASCHINE by navigating to the Instruments section of the MASCHINE Browser.

In this chapter, we will show you how to use your MASCHINE pads in Keyboard Mode to trigger all sounds in your BATTERY Kit. This is because BATTERY Kits are mapped and triggered differently than conventional MASCHINE Kits. When first loading BATTERY Kits in MASCHINE, it may seem like only one Pad triggers any sound.
