If MASCHINE is running as a plug-in, the external stereo inputs Ext. 1–4 available in the Source
selector of the MAIN section will correspond to virtual inputs in your host. This allows you to send
mixer channels from your DAW to individual Sounds within MASCHINE, for example. Please refer to
your host documentation to know how to route signals to the virtual audio inputs of your MASCHINE
plug-in.
As any Parameter page of any Channel properties or Plug-in, this page is also available on your con-
troller. To access it and change its parameters, simply use the common workflow described in
↑3.3.5, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the Control Area. Further-
more, you will find a step-by-step use case in ↑14.2, Applying Effects to External Audio.
Configuring External Inputs for Sounds in Mix View
You can also easily send external audio to Sounds in MASCHINE’s Mixer:
1. Click the Mix View button on the left of the Arranger to switch from Arrange view to Mix
view:
2. Open the extended view of the Mixer by clicking the down-pointing arrow on the left of the
Mixer:
3. Check that the IO button is active on the left of the Mixer — if not, click it to enable it
and display the input/output settings of each channel strip.
