the first Plug-in slot of a Sound, MASCHINE+ automatically configures the Sound’s input to

Now that the effect is loaded, we suggest that you rename the Sound slot to the Plug-in name: this
will be of great help when routing other signals to that send effect (see section
For more information on renaming Sound slots, see section
