2.3.3
Controlling Various Instances with Different Controllers
You can use two or more MASCHINE controllers of different types (MASCHINE MK2, MA-
SCHINE MIKRO MK2, MASCHINE, and MASCHINE MIKRO) simultaneously with different in-
stances of the MASCHINE software (possibly with one instance in stand-alone mode). In doing
so, the following applies:
▪
Only one MASCHINE controller of any type can be connected to an instance at a time.
You can choose which instance you want to control from each controller as described in
2.2.9, Using Two or More Hardware Controllers
▪
When you start a new instance of the MASCHINE software, it connects to one of the MA-
SCHINE controllers according to following precedence rules:
◦
Rule 1: MK2 controllers (MASCHINE MK2 and MASCHINE MIKRO MK2) get focus
before legacy controllers (MASCHINE and MASCHINE MIKRO).
◦
Rule 2: MASCHINE controllers (legacy and MK2) get focus before MASCHINE MIKRO
controllers (legacy and MK2).
◦
Rule 1 has priority over rule 2.
2.3.4
Controlling your Host’s Transport Functions in Plug-in Mode
When you are using MASCHINE as a plug-in within a host application, the Host Transport Con-
trol feature allows you to split the control elements of your controller into two groups:
▪
The
PLAY
,
RESTART
, Step Backwards, Step Forwards, and
ERASE
buttons of the
TRANS-
PORT
section control your host application via MIDI.
▪
All other elements control the MASCHINE plug-in instance.
You can activate the Host Transport Control feature in the Controller Editor. For more info,
please refer to the Controller Editor Manual.
