Module Slot 1: Choosing the Sound’s Role
The Module loaded in Module slot 1 will determine the general role of the Sound:
▪
If Module slot 1 holds a Sampler or VST/AU instrument plug-in, the Sound will generate
its own audio.
▪
If Module slot 1 holds an effect Module (internal effect or VST/AU effect plug-in), the
Sound will be available as bussing point for other signals within MASCHINE. This notably
allows you to build up send effects. See section
for more
info.
▪
If Module slot 1 holds an Input Module, the Sound will be available as bussing point for
external audio signals. See section
9.3, Applying Effects to an External Instrument
for
more info.
▪
If Module slot 1 holds a MIDI Out Module, the Sound will send MIDI notes instead of
generating sound. Slots 2–4 will not be effective. See section
for more info.
You can also sample directly to a Sound slot. This will automatically load a Sampler in
Module slot 1. Read chapter
10.5, Triggering Scenes via MIDI
for more details on this.
