5. Press Button 5/6 to select the desired Plug-in slot.
The name of the selected Plug-in appears in the field between the left and right arrows
under Button 5 and 6. If there are no Plug-ins in the channel this will read EMPTY.
6. Press SHIFT + Button 7 (BYPASS) above the right display to bypass the selected Plug-in
slot.
→ The Plug-in is bypassed and does not affect the sound anymore. In the left display the
Plug-in icon and name are grayed out. When you hold SHIFT, Button 7 is fully lit and the
BYPASS label on the right display is highlighted to indicate that this Plug-in slot is now
bypassed:
Use the same method to unmute the effect:
► To unmute the effect, press SHIFT + the lit Button 7 (BYPASS).
In most cases the first Plug-in slot contains an Instrument Plug-in (e.g., a Sampler). Be careful: by-
passing the slot will mute the whole Sound!
7.1.6 Using Side-Chain
Some Plug-ins provide side-chaining. This allows you to control their influence on the audio via
another audio signal sent to their secondary, side-chain input. This extra routing feature is de-
scribed in details in section ↑14.1.3, Using the Side-Chain Input.
7.1.7 Moving Plug-ins
MASCHINE allows you to move Plug-ins across the Plug-in List and across Sounds and Groups.
