If you've used any sort of DAW before-Ableton Live, Logic Pro, etc.-you’ll be familiar with most of the tools and menus you see in MASCHINE software. Using a Vinyl AU plug-in or loading Vinyl within your DAW will bypass these control assignments. Note: Pre-mapped parameters are only available when the VST format of the plug-in is loaded from your controller’s plug-in browser. No workflow interruption, no setup, no MIDI mapping-unless you want to! Simply open the plug-in to create your own configuration. With NKS, you can open Vinyl from KOMPLETE KONTROL’s browser and tweak your sound by twisting the knobs. Using physical controllers to manipulate plug-ins may not be a new concept, but with NKS, it’s never been easier to connect plug-ins to your KOMPLETE KONTROL device-in fact, aside from plugging the keyboard into your computer, there’s no setup at all. So whether you’re running your session from your controller or your computer, you can forget about switching back and forth. If you prefer “in-the-box” production, you can simply open Ozone or Vinyl in MASCHINE’s plug-in menu to see their controls. Or, dive into MASCHINE, the comprehensive Native Instruments beat production instrument and run your whole session from there:no computer keyboard, mouse, or trackpad required. * Take a look at this article for more information on Ozone with NKS. With hands-on controls for browsing presets, toggling parameters, and adjusting settings, you can refine your sound in real time with your Native Instruments KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard.

The result is that you can create and perform without having to shift focus from your KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard or MASCHINE to your computer.

It’s a technology from Native Instruments, and it allows NKS-enabled plug-ins-which, from iZotope now include Ozone and Vinyl-to run on Native Instruments gear.
