4.1.1 The Sound, Group, and Master Channels
From a routing point of view, each Sound, each Group, and the Master represents a distinct
channel in MASCHINE. The channels of the 16 Sounds in a Group are mixed together and sent
to the Group channel, where their sum will be processed by the Group’s Plug-ins, if any. Simi-
larly, the channels of all Groups in your Project are mixed together and sent to the Master
channel, where their sum will be processed by the Master’s Plug-ins, if any. The resulting sig-
nal is sent to MASCHINE’s outputs.
Each channel provides various set of Channel properties that adjust the input, output, groove,
and Macro Control settings for that particular Sound, Group, or for the Master, independently
of the Plug-ins it contains. Please refer to chapter ↑8, Audio Routing, Remote Control, and
Macro Controls and section ↑5.4.4, Groove for more details on these.
