Native Instruments Maschine Getting Started Guide

10.5 Use Note Repeat
Note Repeat is a very useful tool for playing live: use it to add some additional drums,
drop in some effect sounds, play a bass line or a melody.
10.6 Set up your own Multi-effect Groups
As described in chapter ↑6, The Input Module and Advanced Routing, you can set up mul-
ti-effect Groups containing all the Send effects you want to use in a live set.
10.7 Use a Limiter on your Master
This sounds rather conservative, but if you want to avoid digital distortion caused by an
overload of your soundcard, this is a useful safety measure.
10.8 Hook up your other gear and sync it with MIDI clock
If you have other gear such as a drum machine, a synthesizer or another sequencer that is
able to send MIDI Clock, hook it up to the MASCHINE controller’s MIDI In and activate
Sync to External MIDI Clock from MASCHINE’s File menu so that they can play together in
sync. MASCHINE can also receive MIDI Clock via an internal MIDI port, so you can syn-
chronize it with a MIDI Master.
