Using the Drumsynths

Drumsynths are a powerful set of monophonic Internal Instrument Plug-ins (i.e. Instrument

Plug-ins included with MASCHINE) that allow you to generate individual, fine-tuned drum

sounds for your music productions. Like any other Instrument Plug-in, you can load them only

in the first Plug-in slot of Sounds.

Drumsynths have been designed for extreme playability, both from the high-quality pads of

your MASCHINE controller and from any velocity-sensitive MIDI keyboard. They allow you to

quickly build custom drum sounds and give you full control over the characteristics of the vari-

ous drums — don't hesitate to tweak them during your live performance or automate them like

any other Plug-in!
