Audio and MIDI Handling
When MASCHINE is used in stand-alone mode, it directly communicates with your audio and
MIDI interface. You can select which physical audio/MIDI ports have to be used on your inter-
face, and configure crucial audio settings like the sample rate. All this is done via the Audio
and MIDI Settings panel (for more information on this, please refer to ↑2.7, Integrating MA-
SCHINE into Your MIDI Setup).
On the contrary, When MASCHINE is used as a plug-in within a host application, the commu-
nication with your audio and MIDI interfaces is managed by the host — the MASCHINE plug-
in only communicates with the host. Native Instruments’ Online Knowledge Base provides
how-tos that will help you route the MASCHINE plug-in to multiple tracks/outputs in the major
hosts:

to its documentation.
Multiple Plug-in Instances
When you are using MASCHINE as a plug-in within a host application, you can open multiple
MASCHINE instances. Actually, you can load as many instances of MASCHINE as your com-
puter and your host application can handle CPU-wise. In contrast to the stand-alone applica-
tion, they are always synced to the host. In plug-in mode you can also send MIDI Program
Change messages from your host to switch between MASCHINE’s Scenes or between patches
of other plug-ins loaded into MASCHINE, or record automation for MASCHINE parameters. To
learn more about these, have a look at chapter ↑13.5, Triggering Sections or Scenes via MIDI
and ↑8.2, Using MIDI Control and Host Automation.
