Re: What’s New in Maschine+ 1.6.1
Hi @raphaël_
Short answer, yes, we are considering a number of improvements to improve the writing & compositional aspects of Maschine. More details coming soon

Re: What’s New in Maschine+ 1.6.1
Hi @naturaldichotomy
At the moment, there are no plans to release Guitar Rig Lite on Maschine+, but we are actively evaluating a broad list of content for future compatibility. Some of the more CPU-intensive instruments and effects will be made available with Maschine 3 on Plus, since it includes bounce-in-place, which helps manage heavier projects more efficiently.

Re: What’s New in Maschine+ 1.6.1
Thanks for this update! And happy easter holidays!
For the next update I really hope you can make more use of the second screen. Instrument- and plugin graphics instead of just a big plugin name. Show EQ curves, Compressor ratios, TVF/TVA Envelopes etc… Like Push and MPC actually do.
But I guess this is a CPU issue.
Re: What’s New in Maschine+ 1.6.1
This is not the update that points at being “amazing”.
It’s an update for people that will remain on Maschine 2, correcting things that were problematic (projects transfer back and forth with desktop, external audio interfaces,…) before definitely abandoning anything M2 related. Even if it seems there are still problems (like the Reaktor and Massive presets still not working…).
They just added a couple of bells and whistles (like the FXs) giving us “something more”.
NI moved to Maschine 3 by now. The last version of M2 on desktop should remain that one without any more releases (up to us to abandon the hope that they will address also the last hiccups in order to give the experience that was advertised). With this M+ update they are trying to at least give back those functionalities that were not working as intended.
The update you are waiting for is still to come… Maschine 3 with its new features, new instruments… and what else…
When? Will it be good? Good questions…
Btw… don’t worry: I’m sure you are not the only one not “in line”. I will also dare to say there is NO line… some are happy with it, some are not… What seems to me is that, desperate from the last years and really scared that everything would be definitely abandoned, for one time everyone is trying to at least be positive seeing something moving and trying to prove NI that news (ANY news) are welcome
Re: KK3: Let's talk about Preset Edit and View improvements
As there hasn't been any new information on this topic for a couple of months now, I'd like to push this thread again.
@Chris_NI and @Matthew_NI, whoever from you is actively driving the improvement of the Komplete Kontrol 3.X product now, may I kindly ask you again to tell us if there are still any attempts from NI to implement the highly requested KK 2.96 features which have been abandoned as per the KK 3.00 introduction and have never found their way back? For reference, Kymeia summarized those features perfectly in his list (above in this thread):
These requests from the community have been clearly articulated and repeated so many times already, even in several different sections of this forum. Even though cautious approval was already indicated from NI's side to take action, no further information about related details or milestones have been published in the meantime, which is really not a good sign. Looking at the current featureset of KK 3.4.1, so far non of those mentioned lost features above have ever returned until today.
Therefore, may I please ask you again to make an official statement about the current situation, especially the decision if some development activity around this topic can still be expected or not. To be honest, currently it seems like NI's priority is to satisfy new (and non-NI) customers only, instead of shifting the focus back to their own loyal target group. There are many long-time NI customers out there who also want to be treated fairly with the same kind of respect. I guess, that very NI community - on which you could rely on for a very long time and buying your hardware as well - deserves to get clear answers to the mentioned KK topic (which is one and a half years old now). No NI customer should be left out in the cold. Thank you.

Re: What’s New in Maschine+ 1.6.1
+1 please don’t prioritize precious dev resources to focus on stem separation on standalone when there are so many other important things that would bring much more value

Re: What’s New in Maschine+ 1.6.1
@Chris_NI Thanks for the maintenance update which had some very pleasent suprises up it's sleeve which weren't mentioned in the changelog:
- M+ finally shows custom Midi port names - In my case from the iConnectivity Mio4 - which makes this a wonderful pair for a DAWless centerpiece.
- M+ finally remembers the Midi clock setting (Midi clock send "on"). 4 seconds more quality time every day since I don't have to activate this each time. This adds up 😉
The new effect plugins are a great addition, of course.
I also wanna take the opportunity to break down my personal little wishlist for M+. Mostly little things, really. As M+ is already a pretty great unit:
- a "Mono Left / Mono Right / Mono Center" conversion option in the Sampling/Edit tool set. I'm still sampling a lot from vinyl where instruments are often hard panned. I hade to build a little Reaktor tool to make dual mono panning possible in the M+
- an option to disarm certain Midi pads from recording (maybe also audio inputs). Sometimes I just wanna sequence something with external hardware in the background while record patterns somewhere else. But Maschine always has all custom routings armed and starts recording them as soon as I hit the Rec button. Maybe you can include an "Record Arm" option in the Channel/Input/Midi tab?!
- More "Generative" tools! Especially Note probabillity (Elektron style). M+ is a great piece of kit but it's also very much "locked in the Groove" and wants to be played. So sometimes when I want to develop little variations I have no other option than to record very long patterns. Maybe you can give that "Variations" tab an overhaul. I'm really not sure if anyone is using this at all. Global modulation tools like LFO's would also be great, of course. But I guess that's a bigger mission for the infrastructure.
- WiFi sync for Projects, Kits etc: Going from Maschine software to hardware and vice versa is obviously a pain in the a…abdominal section. Especially since I cannot adress the internal SD card when I'm in Controller Mode. Syncing via Wifi would be great even if it's just for tagging stuff straight after saving.
That's it for the moment, I guess. If I had these things I could finally settle on a deserted Island with just my Maschine and a couple of old Jazz records 😎✌️
Cheers,

Flowers, Gratitude & Kudos for NI x MPC!!!
Its been a long time since I’ve posted here but I had to pull up to drop off a truckload of flowers to NI for their recent partnership with Akai.
A few years ago, I grabbed a MPC Live 2 due to what I felt was early abandonment of a few NI products that I really really loved and just the general direction of things at the time. I won’t get into all the details because it’s water under the bridge now and I’m super happy how it turned out.
NI completely knocked all of the made for MPC expansions out of the park!!!! It’s a perfect marriage as everyone with ears knows that noone in the biz does software instruments and expansions better than NI.
I’ve had my NI expansions converted to mpc format for years but some of them are missing sounds, previews and the midi sequences. Not anymore.
Homage and Sway? Chef’s kiss!
Anyways, I’m super happy to be supporting NI again and now with no expectations attached to hardware. I look forward to what’s next for the MPC partnership. I hope to see full instruments and fx ported over in addition to more play series and maschine expansions.
Sidebar quick love for the partnerships that led to my Launchkey Mk4 being NKS enabled!
Partnerships are def the wave as Akai and Novation are cooking consistent HW wins and so very much better with NI Sound and NkS enabled.
Thanks again NI Sound Team!!!

Re: native access for older OS
Dear Community
I see that this problem is an overall, recurrent, common problem which is unsolved. Here are the reasons why old version of NI software version on Mac's are not able to authenticate/activate to get products running.😕
Older Mac's have expired root certificates in their system. You also notice this when browsing with safari that certificates give a bad answer in the sence that the safari reacts with "are you sure that you want to access this content?". Unfortutly Native Access does not have preferences visible as they use the system ones. 💡
So here is how to solve the problem:
- Download these 2 certificates (der files)
- open keyaccesschain.app
- import the previous downloaded certificates
- dobble click on the certificates and change trust settings to allow "always"
- close the window, might be that you need to enter now your pw if not already unlocked
- restart OS
- test native access
My 2012 MBP is now fully running with my old legacy products.
Time to use my old vynil's 😜
With best regards,
Pion
