▪ In each Sound of the Group
— the MASCHINE internal sampler. The Sampler is the sound source of each of these
Sounds.
In MASCHINE, Plug-in slots are available at three different levels of your Project:
▪ Sound level: The first Plug-in slot is the only slot that can contain a sound source (e.g., a
(Sampler, Drumsynth, Native Instruments or External Instrument) or an effect. The other
Plug-in slots can only contain effects (Internal, Native Instruments or External).
▪ Group level: Each Group also offers slots for effects that will process all Sounds of that
Group together.
▪ Master level: There are additional slots for effects that will process the overall audio of your
Project before it is sent to the master output.
Loading a Drumsynth into a Plug-in List
We would like to further customize our drum kit by fattening its low frequency content with
another kick drum. For this, we will use one of the Internal Plug-ins included with MASCHINE:
Drumsynth.
In MASCHINE, there are two different ways to load Plug-ins into the Plug-in List:
▪ Using the Browser: We have already used the Browser to load Projects, Groups, Samples,
and Plug-ins. Similarly, you can use it to search for plug-in effects.
▪ Using the Plug-in menu: You can also choose the desired Plug-in directly from the Plug-in
slot itself via the Plug-in menu.
Note that these methods work for the Sound, Group and Master level. However, Drumsynth can
only be loaded into slots on the Sound level.
The difference between the two methods of loading a Plug-in is that the Browser allows
you to find presets (from the factory library or user-created), while the Plug-in menu al-
lows you to load Plug-ins in their default state.
Since you should be familiar with the Browser (if not, check for example section
a Drum Kit from the Factory
Plug-in menu method of loading a Drumsynth.
