MASCHINE Getting Started – 28
5. Using Effects & Routing
Now that we have created the Pattern, let’s spice it up with some Effects. MASCHINE
provides a healthy selection of 20 Effects (FX) that can be applied on Sounds, Groups
and the Master, all as Insert Effects. By using the Routing System, Effects can also be
applied to external Inputs and set up as Send Effects.
5.1 Available FX
The Effects cover a wide range of sonic possibilities; for an in-depth description of all
Effects and their parameters, read the “Effects” chapter in the MASCHINE Reference
Manual.
MASCHINE FX are really designed to be modulated! Thats when the sounds really
come
to life - when you start recording the knob movements. How to do that is described in
section 5.6 “Automating FX and Sampler Parameters”.
5.1.1 Dynamics
Limiter
The Limiter ensures that the signal level stays below 0db, thus preventing digital clipping.
It is recommended to place the Limiter in the Master FX slot. The Limiter can also increase
the perceived overall perceived volume by reducing the threshold. Note that the Limiter
introduces a small latency.
Maximizer
The Maximizer reduces the dynamics within the sound, making the overall sound louder.
Compressor
Classic compression effect to control the dynamic information of an audio signal.
