▪ Instruments: These Plug-ins generate sound. Instrument Plug-ins can only be loaded in the
first Plug-in slot of Sounds. Following Plug-ins are available:
◦ Audio: Included with MASCHINE, the Audio Plug-in allows audio loops to play back in
time with the tempo of your Project. Adding audio with the Loops tag from the Brows-
er to the Sound slot will automatically load the Audio Plug-in in the first Plug-in slot
of the Sound. See ↑8, Using the Audio Plug-in for more details.

play back Samples. Adding a Sample to the Sound slot will automatically load the
Sampler in the first Plug-in slot of the Sound. See ↑7.2, The Sampler Plug-in for more

alized in generating bass sounds. See chapter ↑10, Using the Bass Synth for more de-
tails.

led on your computer as VST/AU plug-ins (e.g., MASSIVE, which is included with MA-

turers.
