Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 Groove Production Studio (Black) - Manual (Page 103)

7.1 Loading Effects
In this section you will learn how to load effects in MASCHINE.
In MASCHINE, effects are just a particular type of Plug-ins; the other type are the instrument
Plug-ins, which you already met in the previous tutorials. Both effect and instrument Plug-ins
are handled in the same way, with the notable difference that instrument Plug-ins can be load-
ed only in the first Plug-in slot of Sounds, whereas effect Plug-ins can be loaded in any Plug-in
slot of any channel (Sounds, Groups or Master). For the rest, you can apply to effect Plug-ins
what you have learned about instrument Plug-ins (see
↑ 4.2.2, Loading a Drumsynth and ↑ 6.3,
Using an Instrument Plug-in for the Bass ).
In the following practical example, you will try to further shape your “Analovue” bass line by
fattening its low frequency content while enhancing its overall warmth. For this, you will use
one of the internal effects included with MASCHINE: the Saturator.
7.1.1 Loading an Effect in the Software
