Some Plug-ins provide side-chaining. This allows you to control their influence on the audio via
another audio signal sent to their secondary, side-chain input. This extra routing feature is
described in detail in section Using the Side-Chain Input .
10.5. Moving Plug-ins
MASCHINE allows you to move Plug-ins across the Plug-in List and across Sounds and Groups.
Moving a Plug-in
On your MASCHINE+ in Plug-in mode, you can move a Plug-in to another slot of the same Sound,
Group, or the Master. To do this:
1. Press PLUG-IN .
2. Select the desired Plug-in using the 4-D encoder.
3. Press SHIFT + Button 5/6 to move this Plug-in to the previous/next slot.
→ The Plug-in takes its new place between the existing Plug-ins while keeping the exact same
settings. All other Plug-ins sitting between its old and new location are shifted one slot
upwards/downwards to fill the gap.
