▪ host VST/AU instruments (Plug-ins)
▪ host internal MASCHINE effects and VST/AU effects (FX)
In MASCHINE terminology, the above are called sources.
Using a Sound slot as a Sampler, you can fill it with either one audio file (a Sample in MA-
SCHINE terminology), or with multiple audio files mapped across the keyboard. Using it as
an effect source, you could for example make it a send effect for other Sounds, or even route
external audio signals through a given Sound slot.
This configuration takes place in the first Module slot (there are four available per Sound slot).
Modules 1-4 for Sound slot 2.
4.1 Defining a Sound Slot's Role
The Control area contains four Modules per Sound slot. The Modules handle the sources in the
following way:
▪ Module 1 can host all sources (sampler, input, MIDI out, VST/AU instrument plug-ins,
MASCHINE FX and VST/AU plug-in effects).
▪ Module 2, 3, and 4 can only host effects (MASCHINE FX and VST/AU plug-in effects).
The following list explains the available sources in more detail:
