You can hear the audio coming from your external device. Adjust its level via the Gain
knob near the Source selector.
MASCHINE provides you with four separate stereo inputs for using up to four external stereo
signals or eight external mono signals within your Project. For example, you could try the fol-
lowing:
▪ Load effects in the Plug-in menu to process the signal of your turntable.
▪ Send any external signal to the send effect we built in ↑11.3.1, Using Sounds and Groups
as Sound Source.
▪ Plug a microphone and process it in real time in your live performance!
11.4 Sampling
Now let's look at another great feature of MASCHINE: its sampling facilities. MASCHINE al-
lows you to record internal or external audio signals using your audio interface to create loops,
single hits or instruments, in fact sampling has many uses within MASCHINE. For instance you
could:
▪ Resample the internal audio of MASCHINE. This can be used to sample a loop
▪ Record an external sound source
▪ Chop up audio
▪ Design new sounds
