4.3.2 Auditioning Instrument Presets
When you are browsing Instrument presets, a Prehear button and Prehear Volume slider appear
next to the Autoload button.
The Prehear controls.
► Click the Prehear button (showing a little speaker icon) to enable/disable Prehear.
When Prehear is enabled, you can directly hear Instrument presets as you select them in the
Result list of the Library pane or Files pane.
► Drag the Prehear Volume slider next to the Prehear button to adjust the volume of the In-
strument presets you are pre-listening to.
The Prehear signal is sent to the Cue bus of MASCHINE. This allows you to pre-listen to Instru-
ment presets on a distinct output pair (e.g., in your headphones) without affecting MA-
SCHINE’s main output. For more information on the Cue bus, see section
↑ 13.2.6, Using the
Cue Bus .
