Start Button to Record Audio

McShock

Hi, still newbie, but it is getting better. Here my question: I am using a Maschine Mikro. In the software Maschine 2 there is a „start“ button that need to be hit in order to record audio. I do not find a button on the mikro to activate this button. Is there a such button on the mikro?

Press "Sampling" button on the mikro.

You will see Record Sample with icon with an arrow pointing down and Start written below.

Click down on the big encoder knob/button on the mikro and it will start/stop.

If you have an input you're sampling make sure you change it from Sync to Detect in the software and adjust the levels for activating record. You should now see your audio source in the meters when played.

You may have to change length and Input source to get this setup correctly.

Not sure what you want to record , but the recording in software I think may require you to setup mode and then 'Arm' for recording try looking in the manuals linked at page page given and forward or look in index of manuals for recording subject ! :

Thanks for the manuals. Where is this Button (Start) on the mikro? I would like to press it without having to go to the computer.

If you want to record a pattern then you apparently hit the record button : Recording in Real-time on MASCHINE MIKRO | Native Instruments :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPJXYFLAyJE&ab_channel=NativeInstruments

This isn't really answering his question. He's talking about the start button in the sampling mode not how to record a pattern.

I do have a mikro but not with me so I can't test right now. I know there are many things you can't do with the mikro, but I'll have a look over the weekend to see if you can activate the start button on the mikro controller.

Thank you for clarifying ! Incidentally , very first sentence in my very first post in this thread was this one : "Not sure what you want to record" 🙂 So I think that I from the start acknowledged that I were not sure exactly what it was that the OP wanted to record. But as already written then : Thank you for clarifying !
