6 Applying Effects
Now that we have created a few Patterns, let’s spice them up with some effects.
MASCHINE provides a healthy selection of effects (FX) that can be loaded in the form of Plug-
ins. Each Sound, each Group and the Master can have an unlimited number of insert effects
loaded in their Plug-ins slots. In each Plug-in slot you can load an Internal, Native Instruments
or External Effect Plug-in.
Effects can also be applied to external audio or set up as send effects. These tasks will
be covered in the Manual.
In this tutorial, we will:
▪ Apply effects to various Sounds and Groups of our tutorial Project.
▪ Tweak the loaded effects.
▪ Automate the effect parameters.
Prerequisites
We assume here that you followed the previous tutorials. In particular, you already know how
to:
▪ Select Groups (↑5.1, Selecting Another Group).
▪ Select Sounds by pressing their pad or clicking the Sound slots in the software.
▪ Access the parameters of an instrument plug-in (↑5.5, Accessing the Plug-in Parameters).
If you have any doubts about these tasks, please refer to the previous tutorials before proceed-
ing!
