2.5.2 Switching Instances
When two or more instances of the MASCHINE software are running (e.g., as plug-ins on dif-
ferent tracks of your DAW), you must choose which instance you want to control from your
hardware controller. You can do this both from your controller and in the software.
To select your controller from a particular MASCHINE instance, click the Connect button
in the MASCHINE Header of that instance.
Click the Connect button to connect the controller to that instance.
Switching Instances using the Controller
To switch from one MASCHINE instance to another:
1. Press SHIFT + PLUG-IN.
2. Turn the 4-D encoder to select an instance.
3. Press the 4-D encoder to load that instance.
2.5.3 Controlling Various Instances with Different Controllers
You can use two or more MASCHINE controllers of different types (MASCHINE STUDIO, MA-
SCHINE MK3, MASCHINE MK2, MASCHINE MIKRO MK2, MASCHINE, and MASCHINE MIK-
RO) simultaneously with different instances of the MASCHINE software (possibly with one in-
stance in stand-alone mode). In doing so, the following applies:
Only one MASCHINE controller of any type can be connected to an instance at a time. You
can choose which instance you want to control from each controller as described in 2.5.2,
Switching Instances.
When you start a new instance of the MASCHINE software, it connects to one of the MA-
SCHINE controllers according to following precedence rules:
Rule 1: The MASCHINE STUDIO controller focus has priority over the MK3 controller,
which takes priority over all legacy controllers (MASCHINE MK2, MASCHINE MIKRO
MK2, MASCHINE and MASCHINE MIKRO).
