Native Instruments Maschine Getting Started Guide

(3) The Modules: MASCHINE contains four Module Slots on each of the three MASCHINE
Project levels Sound, Group, and Master. Apart from hosting Samplers, internal MA-
SCHINE effects, they host VST and AU plug-ins too. These will be explained in more detail
in chapter ↑4.5.1, Module Slots.
3.2 Unlabeled Buttons and Knobs
The buttons above and knobs below the displays on your hardware controller do not have
labels (all other elements on the controller do).
The unlabeled buttons and knobs on the MASCHINE controller.
For better reference, we applied a special formatting here: throughout the document these
elements are capitalized and numbered, so these buttons are written Button (1-8), while the
knobs are written Knob (1-8). E.g., whenever you see an instruction such as "Press Button
2 to open the EDIT page" you'll know it's the second button from the left above the dis-
plays.
3.3 Controller Modes and Mode Locking
In the middle of the controller, left of the pads, there is a vertical row of buttons.
