Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MK2, Manual

Page: 649 / 928

Parameter Description
Filter Activates a filter on the side-chain input. This filter can be useful to
select only a specific frequency range of the side-chain signal to
control the Plug-in.
Center Freq Adjusts the center frequency of the filter.
Width Adjusts the bandwidth of the filter.
On your controller the outputs available in the SOURCE parameter are labeled as in the display of
the Source selector described above.
Note that the settings of the Side-Chain Input page stay in place when you switch to another Plug-
in supporting side-chain. This notably allows you to try different compressors or different compres-
sion presets without losing the side-chain setup.
14.2 Applying Effects to External Audio
MASCHINE’s flexible routing facilities allow you to apply effects to external audio as well. This
external audio can come from the inputs of your audio interface if MASCHINE is used in
stand-alone mode, or from your host if MASCHINE is used as a plug-in.
To do this, we will choose a Sound and make use of the Audio page in its Input properties.
14.2.1 Step 1: Configure MASCHINE Audio Inputs
MASCHINE’s audio input configuration can be done in the software only. Furthermore, this
configuration is necessary only if you use MASCHINE as stand-alone application.
If you are using MASCHINE as a plug-in in a host application, MASCHINE can receive audio from
your host on any of its eight mono virtual inputs. To know how to route audio in your host to the
virtual inputs of the MASCHINE plug-in, please refer to your host documentation. When this is
done, go directly to section
