Element Description
Sample Rate Selects from five different sample rates for the exported audio file(s):
44100 Hz (this is the sample rate of the audio CD format), 48000 Hz,
88200 Hz, 96000 Hz, and 192000 Hz.
Bit Depth Selects from three different bit depths (or bit resolutions) for the
exported audio file(s):
16 Bit is the bit depth of the audio CD format.
24 Bit is well suited for mastering.
32 Bit float is the bit depth used internally by MASCHINE’s audio
processing engine. Choose this setting if you plan to further process the
exported audio using other high-end digital audio devices or
applications that support this bit depth — using this setting will allow
greater headroom. However note that the exported files will be
significantly larger.
Names of the Exported Audio Files
The exported audio files are named according to following rules:
▪ If Master Output is selected in the Output menu the audio file will be named as follows:
[Project name] - [BPM].wav/aiff
▪ If Group Outputs is selected in the Output menu the audio files will be named as follows:
[Project name] - [Group order number] [Group index (letter + number)] [Group name] -
[BPM].wav/aiff
The Group order number is a two-digit number indicating the “order of appearance” of the
Group in the Group List. This ensures that an alphabetical listing of the exported files will
reflect the structure of your Project.
▪ If Sound Outputs is selected in the Output menu the audio files will be named as follows:
[Project name] - [Sound name] - [BPM].wav/aiff
In addition, if the name of the file about to be exported is already used in the destina-
tion folder, a hyphen followed by an index number is added to the name (e.g., “ - 1,” “ -
2,” “ - 3,”) to avoid any file being overwritten.
