what is the choices of pianos for the Machine plus ?

PopaTube

I want a quality grand sound, what's available that's compatible with the Machine Plus?

D-One

In standalone mode? Nothing (at least officially, there's user solutions / workarounds listed by others in this thread)

What you get is what is listed on the product page under Sounds:

https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/maschine/production-systems/maschine-plus/sounds/

Note that the orange "+" Is what determines what works in standalone mode.

For the desktop/computer mode, you get The Gentleman, it's not grand tho... It's upright.

Is sampling an option for you?

Maschine has an auto-sampler now. You can sample the desired sound source. For isntance, you can sample vst grand piano you like and use it standalone on M+ as a sound.

Does this work for your case?

yeah thanks I never thought of that !!!

A good resource for pianos on the M+ is to use the sample libraries from PianoBook that are in Kontakt’s .nki format. It doesn’t have as much flexibility as a full blown Kontakt instrument but they sound really good. I like the claustrophobic piano.

Are they even working in Maschine+ Kontakt version?

Did you try? How do you import them?

Ya it definitely works I use several of them that I’ve downloaded from there. You copy the downloaded folder to the M+’s /User Content folder and you’ll see them in the browser and it loads up Kontakt. Some of them have very basic controls you can use but I generally use the M+’s built-in stuff to to shape the sound more.

Thank you for the info. I never knew you could add nki instruments to Maschine+ Kontakt.

And probably they don’t know it too, since they don’t advertise this useful feature…

Tomorrow I’ll surely try it!

Have you ever thought of making a thread to inform other users about this?

No I haven’t thought of making a specific thread for that but maybe I will. I’ve got some other libraries I wanna play around with and see if I can get working first
