In  addition  to  using  the  internal  sounds  of  MASCHINE,  you  may  also  use  32-bit  and  64-bit
VST/AU  plug-ins  from  Native  Instruments  and  third-party  manufacturers.  This  notably  allows
you to make use of your favorite synthesizer and effect plug-ins!
MASCHINE already includes KOMPLETE Selection, this includes MASSIVE (the legendary syn-
thesizer)  PRISM  (a  modal  synthesizer),  SCARBEE  MARK  1  (classic  electric  piano)  and  SOL-
ID BUS COMP (a superior compressor) all from Native Instruments. Among other things MAS-
SIVE is ideal for fat bass sounds — exactly what we need here.
