Description

Plug-in

column

Lists all available VST/AU plug-ins from the directories specified in

the

Locations

pane (see below). This includes all enabled or disabled

32-bit VST/AU plug-ins, when MASCHINE is running in 32-bit mode
or otherwise all enabled or disabled VST/AU 64-bit plug-ins, when

MASCHINE is running in 64-bit mode.
On the left of each plug-in in the list, a checkbox allows you to
enable/disable this plug-in in MASCHINE. When a plug-in is disabled,

it will not be available for loading in MASCHINE.

Default Config

column For each plug-in you can set a default preset that will be loaded with

this plug-in when you load it. Click the folder icon on the left to

choose a default plug-in preset. You can also save a preset as default
for the plug-in via the

Save As Default…

entry in the Plug-in menu. If

no default is set here, the parameters of this plug-in will be auto-

mapped when loading it into a plug-in slot.
To remove a default plug-in preset, click the little cross on the right.

Always Use Latest
Version of NI Plug-ins

checkbox

If a project was saved using older versions of plug-ins, such as older
versions of REAKTOR or KONTAKT, the newest installed versions will

be used when loading the project while this preference is enabled. If
the preference is off, MASCHINE will attempt to load using the

versions originally used when creating the project. Additionally, if only
the newest versions of the required plug-ins are installed on the
system, the newest versions will be used even if this preference is

turned off.

Rescan

button

If you have changed the content of any directory specified in the

Locations

pane (see below), you should rescan your plug-in

directories in order to keep the list of available external plug-ins up to

date. Clicking

Rescan

will check the integrity of your plug-ins and

allow you to automatically detect plug-ins that were added or
removed, or deselect any plug-ins that are not working correctly for

any reason. Note that the scan will ignore the plug-ins that are
disabled in the list above.
