Library
MASCHINE includes a huge factory library of Samples, Sounds, Plug-in presets, Groups, and
Projects. Of course, you can further extend it with your own files.
Link Groups
Link groups allow you to establish links between pads so that the Sound of a pad can be also
triggered by pressing another pad. You can have up to eight Link groups in each Group. In a
Link group, each pad can be set as Master or Slave: In addition to its own Sound, a Master pad
will trigger the Sounds of all pads in the Link group, while a Slave pad will only trigger its own
Sound.
Macro Control
Each Sound, each Group as well as the Master provides Macro Controls to which you can as-
sign any of its parameters (of any parameters of any Sound or Group within it). This way, in any
Sound, any Group or the Master you can define your custom set of parameters for quick ac-
cess!
Master
The Master is where all audio signals from each of the Groups and Sounds come together and
get mixed. The Master channel can also have any number of insert effects loaded in its Plug-in
slots. These effects are applied to all Groups and the Sounds within them.
Modulation
Modulation allows you to record changes of parameter values from within MASCHINE so that
you don’t need to actuate these parameters in real-time. You can modulate parameters of Plug-
ins and Channel properties in Sounds and Groups. The modulation of a parameter is displayed
as a modulation track in the Modulation pane of the Control Lane, at the bottom of the Pattern
Editor. Additionally, modulation of continuous parameters is indicated on the ring around their
knob in the Control area.
