Effect Reference

MASCHINE provides a healthy selection of more than 20 different effects (FX) that can be
quickly applied to Sounds, Groups and the Master, all as insert effects. By using MASCHINE's
powerful routing system, it is also easy to setup send effects, build complex effect chains or
apply an effect to an external source that is connected to your audio interface, such as an in-
strument, vocals or a turntable. We recommend you load a Project from the factory library to
get to know how effects can be used.
This chapter will describe the effects and their parameters. Fore more information on how to
use effects within your Project, please read chapter
Available Effects
Many types of effects are available and nearly all applications are represented. You will of
course find traditional effects such as delays, reverbs and distortions, as well as engineering
tools such as EQs, dynamics, and filters. But we have also provided you with a series of unique
and unusual effects such as Reflex, Ice, and Resochord.

Dynamics

8.1.1

Compressor

This is a classic compression effect to control the dynamic information of an audio signal. You
can use the Compressor to fatten up your drums or to control signals that have a very wide dy-
namic range. In MASCHINE Library's Project "Pounder" it is used heavily on pretty much all
Groups, creating a very dense sound.
