This submenu provides the list of all presets that your VST/AU plug-in has made available
to the host — MASCHINE in this case.
3. Select the desired preset in this submenu.
→ The preset is loaded into the Plug-in.
Each VST/AU instrument or effect might handle its presets (or patches, programs…) different-
ly. Please refer to the plug-in documentation to find out how to reveal its presets (or a particu-
lar set of presets) to the host.
For example, in MASSIVE, ABSYNTH 5, and FM8, you need to enable the Program List
and fill it up with the desired patches in order to expose these and see them appear in
the Presets submenu of the Plug-in menus in MASCHINE.
Some VST/AU plug-ins can run both as instrument and effect plug-ins. When loading a
preset for such a plug-in, check that the preset can be effectively loaded in the current
Plug-in slot — in particular, take care to load presets for instruments in the first Plug-in
slot of Sounds only! To avoid any mistake, one solution is to name your VST/AU presets
explicitly (e.g., by adding a suffix “[FX]” to the effect presets).
MASCHINE allows you also to change the preset in your Native Instruments or third-party VST/
AU plug-in via MIDI Program Change messages. For more information, see section ↑11.2.3,
Controlling Parameters via MIDI and Host Automation.
