the header of Module 1:
Click on the little arrow in the header of Module 1 to choose the source to use for that Sound.
Now you will be presented with the Module menu where you can select a source as listed

In the following section, we will concentrate on the Sampler mode which is probably the one
you will use the most.
For information on working with internal MASCHINE effects and Plug-in effects please refer
to ↑9, Using FX.
4.2 The Sampler Parameters in Module 1
The Sampler Parameters offer various ways to further shape each of your Sounds individually.
You can tune, change basic dynamics and apply effects as well as different modulation op-
tions. Not only are these parameters automatable but they were designed to be tinkered with!
See chapter ↑6.1.10, Recording Automation for the hardware and chapter ↑7.2.5, Recording
and Editing Automation for the software.
