Native Instruments Maschine Setup Guide

2.2.1 Using Your Controller as Audio Device in the MASCHINE Software
By default, when you launch the MASCHINE software as a stand-alone application it already
uses your MASCHINE controller as audio input/output device, so you shouldn’t have to set up
anything particular to have it work.
If this is not the case, e.g., if you have already changed the audio configuration in the MA-
SCHINE software or if you want to use more advanced input or output routings, please proceed
as follows:
1. In the MASCHINE menu click File > Preferences… to open the Preferences:
Setting Up MASCHINE
Basic Audio Configuration
