Native Instruments Maschine User Manual

▪ Disconnect all unused hardware (e.g., printer, scanner). This will increase the amount of
processing power available for your music software.
▪ Laptops are often equipped with built-in devices that disturb audio processing, most com-
monly Bluetooth transceivers, an Ethernet network adapter, or a wireless LAN card. You
might need to disable these devices while working with MASCHINE.

system. See following articles:
