Accessing Other VST/AU Presets
To access user presets of your Native Instruments instruments/effects as well as both factory
and user presets of your third-party VST/AU plug-ins, you first need to load the corresponding
Native Instruments or External Plug-in into a Plug-in slot.
1. Load the desired Native Instruments or External Plug-in into a Plug-in slot (see section
↑7.1.3, Loading, Removing, and Replacing a Plug-in).
2. Open the Plug-in menu by clicking the little arrow at the right of the Plug-in slot.
The Plug-in menu now contains an additional Presets submenu located under the Native
Instruments and External submenus:
This submenu provides the list of all presets that your VST/AU plug-in has made available
to the host — MASCHINE in this case.
3. Select the desired preset in this submenu.
→ The preset is loaded into the Plug-in.
Each VST/AU instrument or effect might handle its presets (or patches, programs…) different-
ly. Please refer to the plug-in documentation to find out how to reveal its presets (or a particu-
lar set of presets) to the host.
For example, in MASSIVE, ABSYNTH 5, and FM8, you need to enable the Program List and fill it
up with the desired patches in order to expose these and see them appear in the Presets submenu
of the Plug-in menus in MASCHINE.
