Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 Groove Production Studio (Black) - Manual (Page 593)

Controls Description
AUDIO Section
Source Selects an external audio input to be routed to the Sound. Available
entries are
None (no external input) and the four external stereo
inputs Ext. 1 – 4 , as well as any additional output(s) of multiple-
output Plug-ins loaded in other Sounds of the same Group. Check
the
Routing page of the Audio and MIDI Settings panel to route the
physical inputs of your audio interface to the virtual audio inputs of
MASCHINE.
Gain Adjusts the gain of the incoming signal.
If MASCHINE is running as a plug-in, the external stereo inputs Ext. 1 – 4 available in the Source
selector of the MAIN section will correspond to virtual inputs in your host. This allows you to send
mixer channels from your DAW to individual Sounds within MASCHINE, for example. Please refer to
your host documentation to know how to route signals to the virtual audio inputs of your MASCHINE
plug-in.
As any Parameter page of any Channel properties or Plug-in, this page is also available on your con-
troller. To access it and change its parameters, simply use the common workflow described in
↑ 3.3.9, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the Control Area . Further-
more, you will find a step-by-step use case in ↑ 14.2, Applying Effects to External Audio .
