Stand-alone and Plug-in Mode
You can run MASCHINE software as a stand-alone application or integrate it into your favorite
Digital Audio Workstation (or DAW, in short) by loading it as a plug-in. MASCHINE software is
available in the VST, Audio Unit and RTAS plug-in formats. For further information on plug-in
compatibility and for a detailed description of how to use plug-ins in your host, please refer to
the documentation included with your host software. If you did not install the plug-ins when
installing the MASCHINE software, please refer to the printed Setup Guide or the PDF version
of this document available from the MASCHINE software
2.3.1
Differences between Stand-alone and Plug-in Mode
When you are using MASCHINE as a plug-in within a host application (i.e., sequencer software
like Cubase or Pro Tools), you can open multiple MASCHINE instances. Actually, you can load
as many instances of MASCHINE as your computer and your host application can handle CPU-
wise. In contrast to the stand-alone application, they are always synced to the host. In plug-in
mode you can also send a MIDI Program Change message from your host to switch between
MASCHINE's Scenes or record automation using the Macro controls. To learn more about
these, have a look at chapter
Pages.
