BPM
BPM stands for “beats per minute.” It is the most common unit to measure the tempo in a
musical context.
Browser
The Browser is the front end for accessing all MASCHINE files: Projects, Groups, Sounds, pre-
sets for Instrument and Effect Plug-ins, and Samples. Each of these can be stored, tagged,
and categorized in a way that allows you easy access to all of them. MASCHINE’s factory li-
brary is already completely tagged, as well as factory libraries of any Native Instruments prod-
ucts installed on your computer. You can also import your own files to the Library and tag them
as well.
Bussing point
A bussing point is a point in the signal flow that can accept signals coming from various loca-
tions in the audio routing system. In MASCHINE for example, the first Plug-in slot of a Sound
usually contains a sound source (which you will hear by pressing the corresponding pad on
your controller). If you load an effect Plug-in in this first Plug-in slot, though, the Sound won’t
generate audio itself but instead it becomes available for other Sounds and Groups to process
their audio. You then only have to set up the desired Sound(s) and Group(s) of your Project to
send some of their audio to this bussing point. This basically is the way to set up send effects
in MASCHINE!
Channel Properties
Channel properties are sets of parameters available for each channel (i.e. each Sound, each
Group, and the Master) that are independent of the Plug-ins loaded in that Sound/Group/Mas-
ter. Channel properties are grouped into four sets: Input properties, Output properties, Groove
properties, and Macro properties. Like the Plug-in parameters, in the software the parameters
of the Channel properties are displayed via Parameter pages in the Control area. For example,
the volume, pan or swing controls are found in the Channel properties of their respective
Sound/Group/Master.
