5.3 Loading a Plug-in Instrument for the Bass
In addition to using the internal sounds of MASCHINE, you may also use 32-bit and 64-bit
VST/AU plug-ins from Native Instruments and third-party manufacturers. This notably allows
you to make use of your favorite synthesizer and effect plug-ins!
MASCHINE already includes KOMPLETE Selection, this includes MASSIVE (the legendary syn-
thesizer) PRISM (a modal synthesizer), SCARBEE MARK 1 (classic electric piano) and SOL-
ID BUS COMP (a superior compressor) all from Native Instruments. Among other things MAS-
SIVE is ideal for fat bass sounds — exactly what you need here.
5.3.1 Browsing the MASSIVE Presets
Not only is MASSIVE included with MASCHINE, but its factory library is fully integrated into
the MASCHINE workflow and its preset sounds are directly available from the MASCHINE
Browser. Hence, you can choose a bass sound with the common workflow you already used for
loading a Group (see ↑2.1, Loading a Drum Kit from the Factory Library) or a Sample (see
↑3.2.1, Selecting another Snare Sample): By filtering your choices, you progressively narrow
your search by selecting the MASCHINE object, by Product, Type, and Subtype.
