Using Performance Effects

MASCHINE provides a healthy selection of studio effects (FX) that can be loaded in the form
of Plug-ins. Each Sound, each Group and the Master can have an unlimited number of insert
effects loaded in their Plug-ins slots. In each Plug-in slot you can load an Internal, Native In-
struments or External Effect Plug-in.
In addition, MASCHINE also has a set of Performance effects that are ideal for use in a live
performance situation with MASCHINE JAM. They are designed specifically for their ease of
use and can be applied to groups for maximum sonic impact. More importantly, they are fun to
use!
8.2.1

Selecting a Performance Effect

One Performance FX can be added to each Group channel. The following Performance effects
are available:
▪ Filter: The Filter is a raw-sounding, analog-modelled LP/BP/HP filter with additional satura-
tion parameters and resonance that can be pushed into self-oscillation.
▪ Flanger: The Flanger is a comb filter effect. It can behave like a standard flanger or phaser
but can also go pretty wild and sound more like a creative delay if you push the decay and
delay time. Various tone-shaping controls are available.
▪ Brst Echo: The Burst Echo is a warm, versatile echo with plenty of character. It's great as a
dub echo but can also be used for quite extreme sound design.
▪ Reso Echo: The Reso Echo is a crazy psychedelic echo that can be tightened up into a pun-
chy resonator.
▪ Ring: Based on a bank of ring modulators, the Ring effect adds a bell-like quality to melod-
ic sound sources. An additional plate reverb lets you pick out individual notes with your fin-
ger and have them ring out for several seconds.
▪ Stutter: Stutter is a beat-mangling effect, great for adding glitches and fills to drum pat-
terns and more.
▪ Tremolo: Tremolo is a Tremolo/Vibrato effect, useful for adding expression and movement
on the fly.
