2. In the Plug-in menu that opens, select Cut.
3. Select the Sound, Group or the Master where you want to move the Plug-in (see section
↑3.3.3, Focusing on a Group or a Sound).
4. Click the down-pointing arrow of the target slot (the slot where you want to move the Plug-
in to).
5. In the Plug-in menu that opens, select Paste.
→ The Plug-in with all its parameters has now been moved from its original location to its
target location.
Duplicating Plug-ins Across Sounds and Groups
Instead of selecting Cut in the Plug-in menu of the original slot (see above), select Copy to du-
plicate the Plug-in to another slot!
7.1.8 Alternative: the Plug-in Strip
You can also manipulate your Plug-ins via the Plug-in Strip in the Mix view of MASCHINE. You
will find all details on this feature in section ↑13.4, The Plug-in Strip.
7.1.9 Saving and Recalling Plug-in Presets
All settings and assignments of a Plug-in can be saved as Plug-in presets. Once saved, Plug-in
presets can be accessed from the Browser, both in the software and from your controller (see
section ↑4.2, Searching and Loading Files from the Library). This is a very quick and conven-
ient way to recall Plug-ins with their parameters already set to specific values. In addition a
Plug-in preset can be assigned as the default preset so the Plug-in opens with that preset auto-
matically loaded.
The MASCHINE file format for Native Instruments plug-ins allows you to save a preset in the
format native to the plug-in and freely exchange files between the plug-in instrument in stand-
alone mode, MASCHINE, and KOMPLETE KONTROL.
To use this feature you must ensure all installed Native Instruments plug-ins are up-to-date. Please
check Service Center or log-in to your Native Instruments account to find the latest updates.
