[Tips]

When using playbox I like to use the randomize feature a lot. This give you unique variations and possibilities that are endless compared to the stock presets. Once I find a sound I like, I sometimes remove all the effects from the phrase so that I can better work with the base sample. Simple tip but a lot of playbox users are not aware that you can remove the effects to get a more versatile sample to play with.

Hi guys !

My tip is pretty simple : let's dream genuinely, thanks to genuine (Native) minds and brains !

I'm using Cubase Pro 13 on a MAC Studio, with NI Komplete (14) Collector's Edition (my infinite creative gold mine). I have that beautiful artwork in alchemy that is NI Kontrol S88 MK3.

In order to speed up and ease my workflow in total freedom, I have added 1 NI Maschine MK3 AND 1 Maschine+ MK3, what gives me autonomous Inspiration.

Music sensibility without barriers.

What to choose in Komplete Collector's Edition ? There is no single answer : all instruments, sounds, … are just fragrance for the ears, genuinely; and still you can enrich and blend by any mean, surfing on your own feelings, making a new dimension in art(s) and giving people's dreams another level.

I feel like a child !

I have reached Serenity and heaven… Before death !

Here is a typical example of what NI brought to me for a very personal opus (lyrics in the last part), that is part of my own Life stories ("The Survivor's Score"), a coming book and TV series

This one might already be well known, but I thought heck, maybe there are some that don't know about it yet… Massive X can be (sort of) used as a sampler and you can use the effects to mangle them to your heart's content :)

Tip:

Don't sleep on NKS!
Next to Native, I'm using mutliple third party instances.
Lately I've bought a Native Komplete Kontrol S88 Mk3.
Where Kontakt will integrate beautifully with the hardware, a lot the 3rd party VST's, like Arturia Labs and Spectrasonics, were not fully compatible with the S88. Untill I found out about NKS.
Install the NKS from the links on this website and it's communities.
It will make use of the S88 so much more easy to work with.
With the 3rd party software seemlessly integrated into the display and knobs of the S88, I don't have to turn as much back to the PC to tweak knobs and effects.
A real recommendation to improve workflow!

Faced with an empty project space in Maschine and tired of previewing the kits with just one "prehear"- note?
This is a simple way of breaking routines (and rules, lol) to switch up gears and create new patterns, sound combinations, melodic patterns, or even rhythmic instruments.

I will share two methods that have helped me creatively get unstuck:
