7.2.2 Practice Makes Perfect!Don’t hesitate to practice with loading effects in different places of the tutorial Project and ad-justing their parameters. For example:▪ You could load a Chorus on the Sound “Snare Ektl A 1” of the drum kit Group to slightlywiden its sound (use a low value for the Mix parameter of the effect).▪ In that same drum kit Group, you could apply a slowly evolving Flanger on the Sound“Shaker Ektl A” to make it livelier.▪ On the way, you will note that the drum kit Group itself (“EK-TL A Kit”) already has a Max-imizer applied that processes the whole drum kit. Why not load a subtle Reverb to makethe kit sound more natural?7.2.3 Bypassing EffectsBypassing effects might come in handy whenever you want to return to a dry, unaltered signal:Such as after applying so much Reverb that you can’t hear the dry signal anymore or to get ridof the feedback while using the Delay for example. Bypassing effects is also a great tool whenplaying live!7.2.3.1 Bypassing Effects in the MASCHINE Software1. At the top left of the Control area, click the tab of the level (either SOUND, GROUP orMASTER) where you want to bypass the effect.2. If you want to bypass an effect at the Sound or Group level, make sure you have the rightSound (click it on the left of the Pattern Editor) and/or Group (click it on the left of theArranger) selected.Applying EffectsPlaying with EffectsMASCHINE - Getting Started - 114
