Distortion; Applying Effects To A Sound - Native Instruments Maschine Getting Started Manual

5.1.6

Distortion

▪ Distortion: Combining overdrive, feedback and modulation, the Distortion produces a
heavy distortion/fuzz effect.
▪ Lofi: The Lofi effect reduces the Bitrate and Sample Rate of the audio signal for an
interesting "vintage" effect at subtle settings, and heavy digital distortion at extreme
settings.
▪ Saturator: The Saturator combines compression and saturation to increase the overall
loudness and add additional harmonics. The Contour control determines how closely
it responds to the input volume.

Applying Effects to a Sound

There are four Module Slots available at the Sound level. Using each Module Slot, you can
apply up to four MASCHINE effects and VST/AU plug-in effects directly to each Sound
Slot.
Module 1 is often used to contain a Sampler or live Input so choose one of the free Modules
(2-4) to insert an effect.
If you plug one of the internal MASCHINE effects or a plug-in effect to Module Slot 1 of a
Sound, you will find this effect as a bussing point in the
Main control section (in the Control Area). You can also route MIDI events to the effects in
Module Slot 1.
