7.2.2 Practice Makes Perfect!
Don’t hesitate to practice with loading effects in different places of the tutorial Project and ad-
justing their parameters. For example:
▪ You could load a Chorus on the Sound “Snare Ektl A 1” of the drum kit Group to slightly
widen its sound (use a low value for the
Mix parameter of the effect).
▪ In that same drum kit Group, you could apply a slowly evolving Flanger on the Sound
“Shaker Ektl A” to make it livelier.
▪ On the way, you will note that the drum kit Group itself (“EK-TL A Kit”) already has a Max-
imizer applied that processes the whole drum kit. Why not load a subtle Reverb to make
the kit sound more natural?
7.2.3 Bypassing Effects
Bypassing effects might come in handy whenever you want to return to a dry, unaltered signal:
Such as after applying so much Reverb that you can’t hear the dry signal anymore or to get rid
of the feedback while using the Delay for example. Bypassing effects is also a great tool when
playing live!
7.2.3.1 Bypassing Effects in the MASCHINE Software
1. At the top left of the Control area, click the tab of the level (either SOUND , GROUP or
MASTER ) where you want to bypass the effect.
2. If you want to bypass an effect at the Sound or Group level, make sure you have the right
Sound (click it on the left of the Pattern Editor) and/or Group (click it on the left of the
Arranger) selected.
