Native Instruments MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 Manual page 88

start the playback in MASCHINE, nor modify the tempo or the time signature of your Project
within the MASCHINE plug-in itself 4 these are synchonized to your host9s own transport
functions and tempo settings. As a direct consequence, when MASCHINE is used as a plug-in
the Restart and Play buttons as well as the Tempo and Time Signature fields are grayed out
and inactive in the MASCHINE Header. Obviously you cannot control MASCHINE9s playback
and tempo settings from your MASCHINE controller either.
However from your controller you can directly control the transport functions of your host applica-
tion instead. See section Controlling your Host9s Transport Functions in Plug-in Mode for more in-
formation.
Audio and MIDI Handling
When MASCHINE is used in stand-alone mode, it directly communicates with your audio and
MIDI interface. You can select which physical audio/MIDI ports have to be used on your inter-
face, and configure crucial audio settings like the sample rate. All this is done via the
and MIDI Settings panel (for more information on this, please refer to
SCHINE into a MIDI Setup).
On the contrary, When MASCHINE is used as a plug-in within a host application, the commu-
nication with your audio and MIDI interfaces is managed by the host 4 the MASCHINE plug-
in only communicates with the host. Native Instruments9 Online Knowledge Base provides
how-tos that will help you route the MASCHINE plug-in to multiple tracks/outputs in the major
hosts:
