FYI:

“With the upcoming 1.7 update*, a new level of integration and intuitive workflow is achieved thanks to MASCHINE’s support of NATIVE INSTRUMENT’s new ‘NIS” sound format. With version 1.6 you could already use your VST/AU plug-ins inside MASCHINE, but now with 1.7, you can even browse and load the plug-in presets from all KOMPLETE 8 versions – KOMPLETE ELEMENTS, KOMPLETE 8, and KOMPLETE 8 ULTIMATE – directly inside the MASCHINE hardware browser. This means you can operate MASCHINE fully without ever having to touch your mouse or keyboard – keeping your focus on the creative flow.
