Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 Getting Started

▪ Using the Plug-in menu: You can also choose the desired Plug-in directly from the Plug-in
slot itself via the Plug-in menu.
Note that these methods work in any channel (Sounds, Groups. or Master). However, since
Drumsynth is an instrument, you can load it only into the first Plug-in slot of Sounds.
The difference between the two loading methods is that the Browser allows you to load
Plug-in presets (from the factory content or user-created), while the Plug-in menu allows
you to load Plug-ins in their default state.
Since you should already be familiar with the Browser (if not, check for example section ↑3.1,
Loading a Drum Kit from the Factory Library or ↑4.2.1, Selecting Another Snare Sample), this
time you will learn the method using the Plug-in menu.
4.2.2.1 Loading a Drumsynth into a Plug-in List in the Software
1. At the left of the Pattern Editor, click the Sound slot’s name (Kick Ektl A 2) to select that
Sound slot.
2. In the Control area above, click the SOUND tab to select the Sound level, since this is the
only level at which Drumsynths can be loaded.
