Sounds based on KONTAKT Instruments are built with a quantity of individual samples and may demand a large amount of RAM space and also cause a significant load on your CPU, thus quickly bringing your computer to its limits. This is the case for synthesizer sounds based on MASSIVE or REAKTOR Instruments, like MONARK, RAZOR, ROUNDS, etc. However, some Sounds in the Instrument category of the Browser are based on complex processing and may cause a significant load on your CPU. The Sampler plug-in does not cause a significant load on your CPU or consume your computer's RAM. MASCHINE Library Sounds, for example, are based on MASCHINE’s built-in Sampler plug-in, which generally processes one-shot samples.
Plug-in Engines and PerformanceĪll presets look similar in the MASCHINE Browser but they can have a different impact on your computer's performance depending on the plug-in engines they rely on. As you can see, it is built of a chain of three plug-ins: Sampler, EQ and Metaverb. In the screenshot below, we have loaded the Accordion preset from the Sounds section of the Browser. Each Sound is based on one or several plug-ins. MASCHINE 2 allows you to load a very large number of Sounds into a Project from a list of presets in the Browser. This article provides useful information if you experience performance issues (audio crackling, software freezes, etc.) after loading new Sounds to your MASCHINE 2 Project.
