Native Instruments MASCHINE+ Standalone Production and Performance Instrument - Manual (Page 168)

If you are using MASCHINE+ in Controller mode as a plug-in in a host application,
MASCHINE can receive audio from your host on any of its eight mono virtual inputs. To
know how to route audio in your host to the virtual inputs of the MASCHINE plug-in, please
refer to your host documentation and the MASCHINE Software Manual. When this is done,
go directly to section Step 2: Set up a Sound to Receive the External Input .

the external audio interface connected to MASCHINE+ and that the inputs of the audio interface
are activated. To do this:
