7.3.4 Using VST/AU Plug-in Presets
For some of your Native Instruments or third-party VST/AU plug-ins, you might already have a
set of factory or user presets (or patches, programs, etc.) that you like to use. MASCHINE lets
you directly load these presets and save them as Plug-in presets within MASCHINE. Saving
your VST/AU presets as Plug-in presets within MASCHINE will notably allow you to access
them from the MASCHINE Browser, in the software as well as from your controller!
Saving presets can be done in the MASCHINE software only.
Accessing Factory Presets of Native Instruments’ Instruments/Effects
Accessing factory presets of your Native Instruments instruments and effects is straightfor-
ward: factory presets of all Native Instruments instruments/effects installed on your computer
are already integrated into the MASCHINE library! You will find them directly in the Browser by
selecting the corresponding file type (Instruments or Effects) in the File Type selector, then se-
lecting the factory content by clicking the NI logo on the right, then choosing the desired NI
product in the drop-down list underneath — and of course, you will find all these presets in
the same locations in the Browser on your controller.
You can also add to the MASCHINE library the user presets you might have created for any Native
Instruments product installed on your computer. To do this, simply add the corresponding path(s) to
the list found on the User pane of the Library page in the Preferences panel. See section ↑3.6.4,
Preferences – Default Page for more details.
