Native Instruments MASCHINE+ Standalone Production and Performance Instrument - Manual (Page 106)

• An Effect plug-in can be loaded in any Plug-in slot of any Sound, any Group, or of the Master.
The following sections describe additional features and tasks specific to Native Instruments plug-
ins compared to Internal plug-ins. For all other tasks (for example, loading, adjusting Plug-in
parameters, etc.), please refer to section Plug-in Overview .
10.10.1. Using the VST/AU Plug-in Parameters
The parameters of Native Instruments plug-ins offer various ways to shape each instrument/
effect individually. MASCHINE+ provides quick and convenient access to the parameters of any
Native Instruments plug-in: upon loading these parameters are auto-mapped and organized into
Parameter pages that will appear on the displays — exactly like Internal Plug-ins.
Having the Plug-in parameters on Parameter pages in MASCHINE+ has the following benefits:
• You can step through the Parameter pages and tweak each parameter (see section Navigating
Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages ).
• The Plug-in parameters can be automated the same way as any other parameters (see section
Recording Modulation .

Furthermore, for Native Instruments Plug-ins these Parameter pages group the Plug-in
parameters in an intelligent way that fits the particular workflows of each Plug-in. For example, in
the MASSIVE Plug-in, the eight Macro Controls of MASSIVE will be grouped into a single
Parameter page, the main parameters for Oscillator 1 will be grouped into another Parameter
page, etc.
10.10.2. Using Native Instruments Plug-in Presets
For some of your Native Instruments plug-ins, you might already have a set of factory or user
presets (or patches, programs, etc.) that you like to use. MASCHINE lets you directly load these
presets and save them as Plug-in presets within MASCHINE. Saving your VST/AU presets as Plug-
in presets within MASCHINE will notably allow you to access them from the MASCHINE Browser.
Saving presets can be done in the MASCHINE software only.
