Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 Getting Started

7 Applying Effects
Now that you have created a few Patterns, you can spice them up with some effects.
MASCHINE provides a healthy selection of effects (FX) that can be loaded in the form of Plug-
ins. Each channel (Sounds, Groups and Master) can have an unlimited number of insert ef-
fects loaded in their Plug-ins slots. In each Plug-in slot you can load an internal, Native Instru-
ments or external effect Plug-in.
Effects can also be applied to external audio or set up as send effects. These tasks will
be covered in the Manual.
In this tutorial, you will:
▪ Apply effects to various Sounds and Groups of your tutorial Project.
▪ Tweak the loaded effects.
▪ Modulate the effect parameters.
Prerequisites
It is assumed here that you followed the previous tutorials. In particular, you already know how
to:
▪ Select Groups (Selecting Another Group).
▪ Select Sounds.
▪ Access the parameters of a Plug-in (Accessing the Plug-in Parameters).
If you have any doubts about these tasks, please refer to the previous tutorials before proceed-
ing!
