Creating Multi-Effects - Native Instruments MASCHINE MIKRO MK2 Manual

▪ Use Patterns: You can create Patterns for your send effects to make them more lively. Sim-
ply record some automation in Control or Step mode for the desired effect parameters —
or even record notes for effects requiring incoming notes (e.g., the vocoder mentioned
above).
▪ Input Module: You might have noticed that the Input Module's
Internal entry in addition to the available entries for external audio inputs. This is the leg-
acy method used in older MASCHINE versions to set up send effects. It is still available
for backwards compatibility only, and we recommend you not to use it when creating new
send effects, but instead use the method described in
Send Effect above. By the way, the new method has an obvious advantage over the old
one: It frees up one Module slot, which is then available for one more effect.

Creating Multi-effects

Creating a multi-effect unit is basically the same thing as creating a send effect, but extended
to the Group level. As described in the previous section
set up four effects for every Sound in the Group, adding up to 64 effects per Group this way!
You can route Sounds within the Group to your liking: You can chain them all, keep them as
separate effects that can be used in parallel, etc.
You can then save the whole multi-effect Group for later use. This can be useful if you like a
certain combination of effects for your live setup or in the studio. Although this is overkill, you
can afterwards still add four more effects on the multi-effect Group itself. Of course this de-
pends on the age and processing power of your computer.
However, make sure to name every Sound in this multi-effect Group after the effect(s) inserted
and to give it a name that allows you to recognize it as an effect; remember that you will be
choosing this effect from a potentially large list in your user library. In the MASCHINE Library
there are already a number of multi-effect Groups tagged
