ment and Effect Plug-ins can be loaded in the first Plug-in slot of Sounds. The other Plug-in
slots of Sounds, as well as the Plug-in slots of Groups and of the Master can hold Effect Plug-
ins only. At each level (Sound, Group, and Master), Plug-ins process the audio in series, ac-
cording to the order in which they are stacked up.
Plug-in Preset
You can save the current settings of any Plug-in in form of a Plug-in preset for later use. Nota-
bly, this will make the Plug-in preset available in the MASCHINE Browser.
Prehear
The Prehear feature allows you to listen to Samples directly from the Browser without loading
them into Sound slots first. This way, you can quietly choose a Sample before modifying any-
thing in your Project.
Project
A Project contains all data needed for a song: all Groups, Patterns, Sounds, Samples, Scenes
and all settings, modulation, effects, routings, etc. It’s like a snapshot of the entire state of
MASCHINE.
Quantization
To quantize a Pattern is to make its events snap to a set of equally distributed locations known
as steps. This ensures that these events are on beat. You can also let MASCHINE automatically
quantize events that you record live. Quantization makes it easier to get a rhythm going, but
too much use can make the Pattern seem stiff or lifeless.
Sample
A Sample is any piece of audio that can be used e.g. to build a drum kit or a melodic instru-
ment, or as a distinct loop in your song. You can load one or several Samples into Sound slots.
