Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 Groove Production Studio (Black) - Manual (Page 370)

▪ Edit view: The Edit view shows the full user interface of the original Native Instruments
product. You can show/hide the Edit view by clicking the Edit button (showing a pencil
icon) in the Plug-in Header:
Opening/Closing Plug-in Windows on the Controller
On the controller, to open/close a floating window for a Native Instruments or External Plug-in
do the following:
1.
Select the desired Native Instruments or External Plug-in (see section ↑ 3.3.9, Navigating
Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the Control Area ).
2. Press SHIFT + Button 3 ( EDIT ) to open the Plug-in’s user interface in a separate floating
window. Press SHIFT + Button 3 again to close the floating window.
7.3.2 Using the VST/AU Plug-in Parameters
The parameters of Native Instruments and External Plug-ins offer various ways to shape each
instrument/effect individually. Of course, you can adjust these parameters using the Plug-in’s
own user interface (see section
↑ 7.3.1, Opening/Closing Plug-in Windows above). But MA-
SCHINE also allows quick and convenient access to the parameters of any Native Instruments
or External Plug-in: upon loading these parameters are auto-mapped and organized into Param-
eter pages that will appear both in the software’s Control area and on your controller in Control
mode — exactly like Internal Plug-ins.
Having the Plug-in parameters on Parameter pages in MASCHINE has the following benefits:
▪ You can step through the Parameter pages and tweak each parameter on your controller via
the usual workflow directly after loading the Native Instruments or External Plug-in (see
section
↑ 3.3.9, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the Con-
trol Area ).
▪ The Plug-in parameters can be automated the same way as any other parameters (see sec-
tion
↑ 11.5, Recording and Editing Modulation ).
