▪ Edit  view:  The  Edit  view  shows  the  full  user  interface  of  the  original  Native  Instruments
product.  You  can  show/hide  the  Edit  view  by  clicking  the  Edit  button  (showing  a  pencil
icon) in the Plug-in Header:
Opening/Closing Plug-in Windows on the Controller
On the MASCHINE MIKRO controller, do the following:
1. Select the desired Native Instruments or External Plug-in (see section ↑2.3.4, Navigating
Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the Control Area).
2. Press NAV + the lit pad (indicating the selected Plug-in) to open the plug-in in a separate
floating window. Press NAV + the same lit pad again to close the plug-in window.
6.3.2 Using the VST/AU Plug-in Parameters
 
The parameters of Native Instruments and External Plug-ins offer various ways to shape each
instrument/effect individually. Of course, you can adjust these parameters using the Plug-in’s
own  user  interface  (see  section  ↑6.3.1,  Opening/Closing  Plug-in  Windows  above).  But  MA-
SCHINE also allows quick and convenient access to the parameters of any Native Instruments
or External Plug-in: upon loading these parameters are auto-mapped and organized into Param-
eter pages that will appear both in the software’s Control area and on your controller in Control
mode — exactly like Internal Plug-ins.
Having the Plug-in parameters on Parameter pages in MASCHINE has the following benefits:
▪ You can step through the Parameter pages and tweak each parameter on your controller via
the  usual  workflow  directly  after  loading  the  Native  Instruments  or  External  Plug-in  (see
section ↑2.3.4, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the Con-
trol Area).
▪ The Plug-in parameters can be automated the same way as any other parameters (see sec-
tion ↑7.5, Recording and Editing Modulation).
