User Manual

Restart and Play buttons as well as the Tempo and Time Signature fields are grayed out and
inactive in the MASCHINE Header. Obviously you cannot control MASCHINE’s playback and
tempo settings from your MASCHINE controller either.
However from your controller you can directly control the transport functions of your host appli-
cation instead. For more information see ↑5.5.2, Controlling your Host’s Transport Functions in
Plug-in Mode.
Audio and MIDI Handling
When MASCHINE is used in stand-alone mode, it directly communicates with your audio and
MIDI interface. You can select which physical audio/MIDI ports have to be used on your inter-
face, and configure crucial audio settings like the sample rate. All this is done via the Audio,
and MIDI pages in the Preferences panel. For more information on the Preferences panel,
please refer to the MASCHINE Software Manual.
On the contrary, when MASCHINE is used as a plug-in within a host application, the communi-
cation with your audio and MIDI interfaces is managed by the host—the MASCHINE plug-in
only communicates with the host. Native Instruments’ Online Knowledge Base provides how-to
articles that will help you route the MASCHINE plug-in to multiple tracks/outputs in the major
hosts:

documentation.
