Removing a Plug-in
To remove a Plug-in from its slot, do the following:
▶ Press SHIFT + Button 8 ( REMOVE ).
→ The Plug-in is unloaded from the slot. All following Plug-ins are shifted one slot upwards to fill
the gap.
Alternatively, you can press SHIFT + BROWSE , turn the 4-D encoder (or Knob 8) to select
(none) at the top of the list in the right display, and press the 4-D encoder or Button 8
( LOAD ).
Replacing a Plug-in
▶ To replace a Plug-in, simply select its slot and load a new Plug-in as described above.
You can also recall the search query that was used to find the Plug-in preset currently
loaded in the Plug-in slot (see section Using Quick Browse for more information).
10.1.3. First Plug-in Slot of Sounds: Choosing the Sound’s Role
The Plug-in loaded in the first Plug-in slot of a Sound will determine the general role of this
Sound:
• If the first Plug-in slot holds an Instrument Plug-in (Sampler, Drumsynth, Native Instruments,
see Plug-in Overview ), the Sound will generate its own audio.
• If the first Plug-in slot holds an Effect Plug-in , the Sound will be available as a bussing point for
other signals (from within MASCHINE+, and possibly from the outside world). This notably
allows you to build up send effects or to apply effects to external audio. See section Step 1: Set
Up a Sound or Group as Send Effect for more information.
You can also sample directly to a Sound slot. This will automatically load a Sampler in its
first Plug-in slot. Read chapter Effect Reference for more details on this.
10.1.4. Browser Plug-in Slot Selection
Select a plug-in slot directly from the Browser using the SHIFT button. The SHIFT button provides
temporary access to the Plug-in mode allowing you to select a plug-in slot from the Plug-in List.
This can be accomplished from the Browser when loading content into all three levels of the
MASCHINE audio routing system: in Sounds, in Groups, and in the Master.
To change the focus of the plug-in slot from the Browser:
1. Press the BROWSE button.
2. Press SHIFT , then press button 5 or 6 to select a plug-in slot.
→ The focus slot can be selected from the Browser.
