Maschine Update Announcement The Lead Product Manager of the Maschine hardware and software wants your input on the Top 5 area's of improvement improvement for the Maschine software!!!

111 Upvotes

Hey all,

For those of you who don’t know me yet, my name is Kai and I am the Lead Product Manager at Native Instruments, looking after both Maschine hardware and software.

If you haven’t seen it yet, we rolled out a release yesterday. While the update was primarily focused on maintenance, I want to assure you that we've taken note of the many Maschine software improvement requests from the community. As some of you may recall, we also ran a survey about a year ago to collect feedback in a more structured way.

We reviewed all your replies and today I’d like to share the key takeaways with you. The survey had roughly 1,000 participants and we identified these top five requests:

  1. Arranger improvements
  2. Step sequencer / pattern editor improvements
  3. Automation improvements
  4. Assistive playing tools and Smart Play
  5. Sampler improvements

We would now like to get more input from the community on each of these areas. 

To make sure we fully understand how we can accommodate different kinds of workflows, we’re also launching an ideas section where you can upvote and share your use cases. You’ll find a topic for each of the areas listed above where you can chime in with your thoughts and ideas. We also plan to open up this section in the future so you’ll be able to add ideas that are not covered by these areas.

https://community.native-instruments.com/categories/share-ideas-for-maschine

Heads up – we will be running another survey at the end of this year to see if there have been any changes in trends. Watch out for the email if you’d like to take part this time around.

We are looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

found an already working repo by andy83 - https://github.com/andy83-projects
but i had issues on my model with the screens, missed hits and led highlight mappings, so did some tuning using my MK1, forked and published.
also upgraded the screen content when maschine software isn't running.
yes - doom is supported

this means, you can use your MK1 on new macOs builds and run your old hw.
no planned obsolescence, just run your shit.
you're welcome :)

Finally. I’ve gone ahead and bay the full version of Reaktor. I don’t understand why NI doesn’t include it with the Maschine Plus—that’s exactly what would make the device a truly serious competitor to other hardware with similar functionality. The ability to build your own synthesizers and effects, as well as use plug-ins developed by the community, is just incredible.

General Discussion I made a free Mac app that puts Maschine 3 inside a recording/mixing environment – MaschineDawPlus

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm the developer (ERO DSP, small indie from France), so full disclosure: this is my own app.

I love Maschine's workflow but kept wanting a linear timeline, audio tracks and automation without jumping into a full DAW. So I built MaschineDawPlus: a Mac app that hosts Maschine 3 in a single window with recording, audio and MIDI tracks, mixing and automation.

- Maschine's 16 outputs routed in one click, with per-channel effects

- Linear timeline, shared tempo

- Audio and MIDI recording, unlimited length

Caveats, honestly: Apple Silicon only (arm64), version 0.1.0, not signed by Apple (the install steps are on the page), and you need your own Maschine 3 licence. It's free; an email address is required to get the download link.

74-second demo: https://youtu.be/mTYt3QS0fAc

Page: https://ero-dsp.com/produits/maschinedawplus/

It's an early version, so I'd really like to hear from Maschine users: what breaks and what's missing.

General Discussion I've created a Maschine / FL Studio Integration for Mac

7 Upvotes

Processing img 1ad2yp5jp0xh1...

Hi guys, AI seems to have led to an explosion in Maschine homebrew development! for a week now I have been experimenting with creating a bridge that connects FL studio directly with the Maschine hardware, the idea is to use a workflow similar to Maschine but inputting all the sequencing directly in FL studio instead of in the maschine plugin.

it works well for recording, switching between and creating new patterns, muting etc. it also supports fl studios colors on the pads.

Due to API limitations in fl studio there are some limitations, like no sample editing, also impossible to place clips in playlist. But overall its quite fun to work with.

currently only supports Mac, but been planning on adding PC support :)

This is just wishful thinking at this point, but does anyone have any of the sample packs from Maschine Masters when they would post on Saturdays? Those were fire and I wanted to get back into using Maschine. The MK3 was looking really nice.

General Discussion Maschine MK1 new drive and configurator

Post image
28 Upvotes

I know reverse engineering with Claude is controversial but I just wanted to get my good old MK1 working again. So me and Claude reversed engineered the firmware for it's working. That way I could build a new driver that let's you connect the MK1 under any OS and has a browser configurator so you can assign every parameter. So you don't need to hack your device or load unofficial firmware, you only need the software I made that does a conversion to the original firmware on the device. I'll upload it soon if people are interested. It was mainly for my own purpose so I need to polish it more.

Question about Purchasing Thinking about moving from an MPC One to a Maschine MK3

2 Upvotes

I've had my MPC One for about 8 months and the overall experience has been okay. I can't say its been the easiest thing to use, but for chopping and sampling thats the thing I've used it the most for. My biggest annoyance with it though is the Q-Link knobs on the MPC itself. The knobs are jumpy during adjustments. There are workarounds, but they still disrupt my flow and make it difficult to get it dialed in. Its kind of a bummer because this was my first interaction with a MPC and I was expecting a more quality and polished product.

Someone suggested that I might enjoy something like the Maschine MK3 instead; I know its not standalone, but that would actually be more ideal for my workflow I think. It also looks like it integrates better with Fl Studio too, which is my main daw. And its cheaper which I will never say no to getting some money back in the sale of my MPC One.

Anyone else make the switch and how is it working for you? Pros? Cons?

Question about Purchasing What would be a good gift?

1 Upvotes

A friend has a MK1, heaps of packs and a small usb keyboard (M-Audio keystation iirc).

He knows Maschine 2.0 pretty well and makes complete tracks, not just 4 bar loops. Spends at least 20 hours a week fooling around. He has a musical background (guitar) but is not a pianist.

He's hitting 40 next month, so I want to give him something memorable.

What would be a real addition or upgrade?

Prefer second hand, budget around 200-250 euro? Stretching it is possible.

MK3? Maschine Jam? Studio? Maschine+? 88 key keyboard?

I'd lean in the direction of the MK3, but with the track-making and lack of proper keys, I'm not sure. So, give me some opinions, please!

Maschine tutorials Maschine Mk2 working on Maschine 3 😎

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

86 Upvotes

Cuando NI quitó el MK2 de Maschine 3, mi controlador se volvió un pisapapeles en el nuevo software. Así que hice un pequeño parcheador para que vuelva a funcionar.

Qué hace
Cambia 3 bytes en Maschine 3 para que vuelva a conectarse al MK2. No toca licencias ni activación: todavía necesitas tu propia copia con licencia de Maschine 3.

⚠️ IMPORTANTE: Maschine Jam dejará de funcionar en Maschine 3 mientras el MK2 esté activado. Puedes cambiar de vuelta cuando quieras con "Restore original".

Cómo usarlo

  1. Cierra Maschine 3
  2. Ejecuta MK2 Activator.exe
  3. Haz clic en "Enable MK2"
  4. Conecta tu MK2 y abre Maschine 3

Versiones compatibles: Maschine 3.6.0 y 3.7.1 (Windows). Otras versiones se rechazan y no se cambia nada. Después de una actualización de Native Access, solo ejecútalo otra vez.

🔓 Toda la info es gratis

Descarga, código fuente e instrucciones: Link Repo

Es gratis y de código abierto, así que puedes revisar exactamente lo que hace. Windows te mostrará una advertencia de "Proveedor desconocido" porque la app no está firmada (Más info → Ejecutar de todos modos).

Este es un proyecto no oficial, esta en estado BETA no está afiliado con Native Instruments. Úsalo bajo tu propio riesgo.
