[TIP] alternating Song view and Ideas view on MK3(AKA switching between Scene mode and Section mode)

ds0

I was experiencing a particular problem switching between Ideas view and Song view (AKA Scene mode and Section mode) with the MK3 that hadn't been covered on the community yet, and which I didn't find too clearly documented, so I'm leaving a little write-up on how I do it in case someone has a similar problem.

After pressing Shift+Scene on the MK3 to enter Song view, I was unable to switch back to Ideas view from the MK3 itself. In the Maschine software, I was able to click on the Arranger View button as specified in the docs (Maschine Manual section 2.4.3) to switch between the two views, but on the MK3, pressing Scene again did not appear to switch back to Ideas view, nor did pressing Shift+Scene.

The solution: pressing Shift+Variation to enter Navigate mode allowed me to switch back and forth between Ideas view and Song view (Maschine Manual section 3.3.9.1). The top buttons (2 and 3) on the MK3 are equivalent to the Arranger View button on Maschine.

Im not in front of my controller right now but if you hold Shift while in Song/Arranger mode dont you get an option to get back to Ideas View under the top buttons?

I too have to hold shift for the beginning, from the MK3 and same on Maschine Plus

I am saying that OP's problem is not a problem to begin with because if you hold Shift while in the Arranger/Section an option shows up to switch back to Ideas. There's no need to use the navigate menu and do a bunch of extra steps...

I agree with you and I understand . From the release of MK3 it was how I was switching between Song and Ideas mode by holding Shift and pressing Song Button again.
