Controls Description
AUDIO Section
Source Selects an external audio input to be routed to the Sound. Available
entries are None (no external input) and the four external stereo
inputs Ext. 1–4, as well as any additional output(s) of multiple-
output Plug-ins loaded in other Sounds of the same Group. Check
the Routing page of the Audio and MIDI Settings panel to route the
physical inputs of your audio interface to the virtual audio inputs of
MASCHINE.
Gain Adjusts the gain of the incoming signal.
If MASCHINE is running as a plug-in, the external stereo inputs Ext. 1–4 available in
the Source selector of the MAIN section will correspond to virtual inputs in your host.
This allows you to send mixer channels from your DAW to individual Sounds within MA-
SCHINE, for example. Please refer to your host documentation to know how to route sig-
nals to the virtual audio inputs of your MASCHINE plug-in.
As any Parameter page of any Channel properties or Plug-in, this page is also available
on your controller. To access it and change its parameters, simply use the common
workflow described in ↑2.3.8, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter
Pages in the Control Area. Furthermore, you will find a step-by-step use case in ↑13.2,
Applying Effects to External Audio.
Configuring External Inputs for Sounds in Mix View
You can also easily send external audio to Sounds in MASCHINE’s Mixer:
1. Click the Mix View button on the left of the Arranger to switch from Arrange view to Mix
