7. Press F2 (LIST) to show the filtered list of results.
8. Turn the Control encoder to select an effect (e.g., the MASCHINE Compressor) and press
the Control encoder to load it.
→
The selected effect is loaded in a new Plug-in slot. By pressing CONTROL or SHIFT +
BROWSE again you can switch back to Control mode and adjust the effect via the usual
methods (see ↑2.3.3, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in
the Control Area). When you load an effect into the first Plug-in slot of a Sound, MA-
SCHINE automatically configures the Sound’s input to receive any signal(s) coming from
other Sounds and Groups in your Project and sends them through its own Plug-in slots —
in other terms, you now have a send effect.
You could also load an effect preset from the Browser instead of using the Plug-in menu.
For more information on how to load effect presets, see ↑3.2, Searching and Loading Files
from the Library.
Now that the effect is loaded, we suggest that you rename the Sound slot to the Plug-in name:
this will be of great help when routing other signals to that send effect (see section ↑11.3.2,
Step 2: Route Audio to the Send Effect below). You can rename the Sound slot in the software
as follows:
1. Double-click the name of the Sound slot in the Sound List.
The name gets highlighted, ready to be edited.
2. Type the name of the Plug-in, and press [Enter] on your computer keyboard to confirm.
→
The Sound slot now mirrors the Plug-in name.
For more information on renaming Sound slots, see section ↑4.2.3, Renaming Sound Slots.
11.3.2 Step 2: Route Audio to the Send Effect
Once you have configured a Sound or Group as send effect (see ↑11.3.1, Step 1: Set Up a
Sound or Group as Send Effect above), you can send the output of any other Sounds and
Groups to that Sound or Group. For this purpose, each Sound and each Group is equipped with
an additional two auxiliary outputs available in its Output properties.
