Automation/modulation improvements

Automation and modulation let you turn a static arrangement into a fluid, evolving musical landscape. Whether you want to automate synth parameters or the volume of a track, automation has been a standard in music creation software for a long time.

When it comes to automation and modulation in Maschine, what capabilities are you currently lacking?
What are the things you would like to see revisited with the current implementation?
Are there things that you like about the current way that automation or modulation work in Maschine?

Copy automation from one pattern/clip to another
Possibility to generate popular wave types of automation
Master automation track for entier project/song

I am missing graphical automation editing capabilities on Maschine+ standalone above all else.

Another, more lesser thing which would be nice would be to be able to assign MIDI program changes to external instruments elegantly, without having to resort to using lock states in Maschine. Ideally these program change command should be graphically editable in automation view, and they would also include MSB/LSB bank change commands. Again, I am talking about Maschine+ specifically; these functions are already present on the desktop version

Ability to record lock state changes

Automation in the arrangement mode outside the patterns (at least on a group level)
Drawing simple lines/waves
Master automations

These three are the biggest improvements that I'd like to see. They would make working in Maschine much more easy. I love the workflow in Maschine but automation is one of the things that limits me the most.

Can we get a universal LFO to map to any parameter or any effect???

Can we please automate effect bypass???

One more vote for drawable automation lines/curves.

This may be tricky to implement in the hardware interface.

Maybe there could be an automation lane type that interpolates between step-locked values? This would at least make it possible to enter simple things like volume or filter fades without having to live record them.

Automation improvements:

1) being able to modulate any parameter with an envelope or an LFO would be rad!

2) being able to see automation on M+ would be rad too.

As said above , please consider a convenient msb lsb for midi track to automate program changes

This doesn’t fit into a category but it’s something noticeable when i want to perform filter automation; The stock filter does not open all the way. Performance fx filter is fine , I’m specifically referring to the standard stock filter.

Please adjust this so it opens all the way

Having a way to see automation on Maschine +

Either an automation view or moving parameters.

Being able to record lock state changes would be cool too

Master track automation would be fantastic.

An LFO effect would be absolutely killer and also adding a more visual, better UI for the stock effects in maschine would be amazing. It would be nice to see physically what the stock compressor is doing while adjusting it, having a visual EQ graph or multiband EQ, and to see a meter on the limiter or maximizer. Things like that! More FX in general would just be amazing also.

i'd like to see automation clips like in FL studio - where u use LFO to create clips and the clips are stored in library like presets and patterns. it is the best way for you - nothing to change, only additions (generator itself is relatively easy to create, everything else is already here)

but! in current state first fix performance:

1 cpu core to max, all others are 20% - wasting of resources and general playback issues, ableton is much better in this, so you route heavy projects to ableton and use FX VST in ableton, not maschine.

i'd prefer to work only in maschine (main concept is great for me).

Currently when copying a pattern, all automation is copied with it and pasted. When you try to delete the automation for that pattern, using the clear button, it deletes all automation for all patterns. Would love a way to "lock" automation per pattern, and the ability to delete automation per pattern from the hardware controllers.
