2. If MASCHINE is running as a stand-alone application, activate the corresponding MIDI in-
put and/or output(s) of your MASCHINE STUDIO controller in the MIDI page of the Prefer-
ences panel (see ↑2.6.3, Preferences – MIDI Page).
3. If MASCHINE is running as a plug-in in a host application, the MIDI configuration is man-
aged by the host (see section ↑2.5, Stand-Alone and Plug-in Mode). Please refer to your
host documentation to know how to configure MIDI in your host.
MIDI Indicators
On the top panel of your controller you will find four MIDI indicators in the top right corner
showing you at anytime the MIDI activity of the controller.

â–ª The IN indicator lights up when MIDI data is received on the MIDI IN socket of your con-
troller.
▪ The OUT1–3 indicators light up when MIDI data is sent on the MIDI OUT 1–3 socket, re-
spectively.
2.7.2 Sync to External MIDI Clock
If MASCHINE is running as a stand-alone application, it can be controlled externally via MIDI
Clock by any device that is capable of sending MIDI Clock. This could be hardware such as a
drum machine, another groovebox or sequencer, or even another software sequencer.
If you use MASCHINE as a plug-in, it is automatically synced to the host application so
you don’t have to activate external MIDI sync! See section ↑2.5, Stand-Alone and Plug-
in Mode for more information on using MASCHINE as a plug-in.
