Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 Groove Production Studio (Black) - Manual (Page 378)

Each VST/AU instrument or effect might handle its presets (or patches, programs…) different-
ly. Please refer to the plug-in documentation to find out how to reveal its presets (or a particu-
lar set of presets) to the host.
For example, in MASSIVE, ABSYNTH 5, and FM8, you need to enable the Program List and fill it
up with the desired patches in order to expose these and see them appear in the Presets submenu
of the Plug-in menus in MASCHINE.
Some VST/AU plug-ins can run both as instrument and effect plug-ins. When loading a preset for
such a plug-in, check that the preset can be effectively loaded in the current Plug-in slot — in par-
ticular, take care to load presets for instruments in the first Plug-in slot of Sounds only! To avoid
any mistake, one solution is to name your VST/AU presets explicitly (e.g., by adding a suffix “[FX]”
to the effect presets).
MASCHINE allows you also to change the preset in your Native Instruments or third-party VST/
AU plug-in via MIDI Program Change messages. For more information, see section
↑ 12.2.3,
Controlling Parameters via MIDI and Host Automation .
Saving VST/AU Presets as MASCHINE Plug-in Presets
Once you have loaded a VST/AU preset (user preset of a Native Instruments instrument/effect
or any preset of a third-party VST/AU instrument or effect) using the method described above,
you can save it as a Plug-in preset in MASCHINE via the
Save As… or Save As Default… com-
mands of the Plug-in menu (see section ↑ 7.1.9, Saving and Recalling Plug-in Presets ). Once
this is done, your preset will be available as a user preset in the Instrument or Effect category
of the MASCHINE Browser.
7.3.5 Multiple-Output Plug-ins and Multitimbral Plug-ins
MASCHINE allows an extended use of multiple-output Plug-ins as well as multitimbral Plug-
ins.
Multiple-Output Plug-ins
Multiple-output Plug-ins are Plug-ins with more than one audio stereo output.
When a multiple-output Plug-in is loaded into a Sound, MASCHINE uses its available outputs
as follows:
