what's up guys this is part 4 of my machinae micro mark 3 tutorial in my
last video we covered how to create a melody and then create a song
arrangement and export the song today we're going to do something different
we're gonna explore the sampling and slicing tools in Messina if you have a
question leave it in the comments below and don't forget to subscribe to keep up
with these tutorials as well as others I do on music gear there are many ways to
get a sample into machinae you can record something from an external source
like a synthesizer or even from your vinyl collection I'm gonna skip the part
of actually doing the recording and instead use a sample of already
downloaded from sounds calm sounds how calm is the Native Instruments sample
website it's pretty new but they've got some cool stuff there already I've
downloaded a sound and saved it with my other loops if you've already got a
bunch of loops or samples on your computer at that location in the Machine
of software so you can access them easily go to file preferences click on
library user and then add the folder where you have your samples click on
rescan and machinae will scan through all your files and load your samples
into your user library I have a few loop masters libraries and if I go into user
now I can already filter those libraries does a pretty good job so I'm going to
look for a sample that I already have it's a Rhodes sound and here it is
I'm gonna load that in all right so it's loaded into pad mode and now we can
actually slice this sample up and play it across different pads click the
sample editor button in Maschine a software it's the squiggly line right
here click on the slice section now in the mode below you can select how you
want machinae to slice it if you're working with a drum sample use detect so
that it detects the transients I'm gonna use detect on this sample and adjust the
sensitivity so you'll see that it's already sliced it up but that's too many
slices for me I would adjust the sensitivity down to about C maybe 18
let's see if that works it's good to experiment here because you never know
what you're gonna come up with now the next step is to create a new group so I
can do that right here there's my new group now go back to your original group
and click on this these arrow buttons here and drag that into your new group
you'll see it's created a pattern already but let's delete that it shift
and clear now the pattern is gone now we have each slice on a separate pad press
the multi label under that group select all the active pads I'm doing a command
a and put them in the same choke group so you can see the choke here I'm
selecting one now when you hit one pad it'll mute any other pads that were
activated
you can adjust your slices right from here and I'm gonna adjust them right now
so I'm gonna go to the second slice click on the squiggly line and click
Edit now you see the start and end points for that slice it plays a little
bit long for my liking so I'm just going to adjust it a little bit
and I'm gonna hand that one there
I'm gonna just some of the other slices as well I just want a little bit of this
oh I like that all right I want to record this I would
have set my pattern length to two it shipped in record for the countin
let's add some drums to that just for fun create a new group I'm gonna go to
my kits acoustic dust kit let's create a pattern and set the length to four let's
record that
let's put some high hats in there add some Tom's
pretty cool now let's go back to our sample and let's make this sound a
little bit more low Phi now if you recall we've added plugins before I'm
going to add a plug-in from Excel an audio called RC 20 retro color now with
the retro color playing let's hear our beat I can make some adjustments here
noise amount let's turn that metronome
there you go now you can actually even control your third-party plugins right
from micro let's see should we add a baseline let's just do that for fun
let's look for the bass sound sidewalk bass
okay let's create a new pattern go to keyboard mode and I'm gonna put this in
major set our pattern to eight
