Module Slot 1: Choosing the Sound's Role

The Module loaded in Module slot 1 will determine the general role of the Sound:
▪ If Module slot 1 holds a Sampler or VST/AU instrument plug-in, the Sound will generate
its own audio.
▪ If Module slot 1 holds an effect Module (internal effect or VST/AU effect plug-in), the
Sound will be available as bussing point for other signals within MASCHINE. This notably
allows you to build up send effects. See section
info.
▪ If Module slot 1 holds an Input Module, the Sound will be available as bussing point for
external audio signals. See section
more info.
▪ If Module slot 1 holds a MIDI Out Module, the Sound will send MIDI notes instead of
generating sound. Slots 2–4 will not be effective. See section
Sounds
for more info.
You can also sample directly to a Sound slot. This will automatically load a Sampler in
Module slot 1. Read chapter
