14.2 Applying Effects to External Audio
MASCHINE’s flexible routing facilities allow you to apply effects to external audio as well. This
external audio can come from the inputs of your audio interface if MASCHINE is used in
stand-alone mode, or from your host if MASCHINE is used as a plug-in.
To do this, we will choose a Sound and make use of the Audio page in its Input properties.
14.2.1 Step 1: Configure MASCHINE Audio Inputs
MASCHINE’s audio input configuration can be done in the software only. Furthermore, this
configuration is necessary only if you use MASCHINE as stand-alone application.
If you are using MASCHINE as a plug-in in a host application, MASCHINE can receive audio from
your host on any of its eight mono virtual inputs. To know how to route audio in your host to the
virtual inputs of the MASCHINE plug-in, please refer to your host documentation. When this is
done, go directly to section ↑14.2.2, Step 2: Set up a Sound to Receive the External Input.
MASCHINE in Stand-Alone Mode
Please make sure that you have connected an external audio signal source to your audio inter-
face and that the inputs of the audio interface are activated. To do this:
1. Select the Preferences… entry from the File menu to open the Preferences panel.
2. In the Audio page click the Input button, activate the desired inputs by clicking their field
in the Port column and selecting a physical input from the drop-down menu, then click
Close.
→ Audio signals coming from external sources plugged in the inputs selected here will now
be routed to the MASCHINE inputs shown in the first column.
See ↑3.6.2, Preferences – Audio Page for more information on the Audio page of the Preferences
panel.
