MASCHINE in Plug-in Mode
If MASCHINE is running as a plug-in in a host environment, the MASCHINE plug-in can re-

route audio channels to the virtual audio inputs of the MASCHINE plug-in.
In this example, we will assume that you routed some audio channels of your host to the first
virtual input pair of MASCHINE.
14.2.2 Step 2: Set up a Sound to Receive the External Input
We describe here the procedure in Arrange view. You can also do this in Mix view — see section
↑12.1.1, Sending External Audio to Sounds.
▪ Now the external audio is routed to your Sound! You can adjust the level of the incoming
signal via the Gain knob.
You will find a detailed reference of the Audio page of the Sounds’ Input properties in section
↑12.1.1, Sending External Audio to Sounds.
14.2.3 Step 3: Load an Effect to Process an Input
Here we describe the procedure in Arrange view. You can also do this in Mix view — see section
