Please be aware using too many effects may cause a high load on your computers CPU,
as a result the amount of effects you should use is dependant on the processing power
of your computer.
▪ Since Patterns are saved together with your Group, you can also prerecord modulation for
your effects, for example filter sweeps or complex effects clusters with multiple effects that
you can use on your material.
The Routing in MASCHINE is a really powerful tool with a vast amount of possibilities. You can
set up your own effects chains, route Sounds through several other Sounds or out of your audio
interface through a Hardware effect and then back into MASCHINE.
For more information on routing, please refer to the Manual.
10.2.2 Using an External Sound Source
MASCHINE allows you to route not only other internal signals to your Sounds as described in
the previous section (see ↑10.2.1, Using Sounds and Groups as Sound Source), but also audio
coming from the external world. To do this, we will use the first Plug-in slot of the Sound level:
the Input Channel. In the software, do the following:
1. Click File > Preferences….
The Preferences dialog opens.
2. Click the Audio Page.
3. In the Routing section click the Inputs button.
You then see the list of MASCHINE input ports on the left. By clicking on the fields on
the right, you can assign MASCHINE input ports to the physical audio inputs available on
your audio interface.
