Native Instruments Maschine Getting Started Guide

6 The Input Module and Advanced Routing
The Routing features allow for a flexible way to handle routings within MASCHINE and to-
gether with external instruments. Since the Routing capabilities are quite powerful, we will
focus on two common usage scenarios: routing external audio into the effects and setting
up Send effects.
For more in-depth information, please read the Routing chapter of the Reference Manual.
6.1 Applying an Effect to an external audio source
Please make sure that you have connected an external audio signal source to your sound-
card and that the inputs of the soundcard are activated. Open Audio and Midi Settings
from the File menu.
Now activate the desired inputs by clicking on the fields on the right and selecting the de-
sired physical input of your soundcard; then click OK:
The Inputs of the soundcard in the Audio and MIDI Settings dialog.
