Tips for moving projects back and forth between Maschine+ and Maschine

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi there Machine+ experts …

I'm part of an EDM outfit and we practice live at a rehearsal studio so I regularly need to move projects back and forth between the M2 software and my standalone Maschine+.

The sad truth is that although you can move files project files to and from a host via Storage mode, that alone isn't going to make a project work standalone. Becuz:

There are NI instruments that aren't supported

Kontakt 7 support is still not there.

No ability to load 3rd party VSTs

No custom Kontakt instruments

Honestly, I love my Maschine+ but the process of copying things over - finding what doesn't work, bouncing things down and then testing them out can take (no kidding) hours if you have a couple of tracks to work on.

I would love to see an export mode in the software which would create a project suitable for standalone use - ie bounce down anything not supported and switch Kontakt versions where applicable. The current way of working isn't practical at all.

Failing that does anyone have any suggestions to streamline this process?

I agree with everything you said and still I can lead to videos I made specially for showing M+ possibilities in standalone mode but without using any other Instrument or to simplify always use Audio and results can be Amazing.

I do everything in Maschine from the scratch to the Mastering but that's me. After years of searching Ha I bought the MK3 and I couldn't accept that it was not possible to finish the whole Track and I committed myself to doing everything in Maschine MK3 and within a week everything became much clearer and Easier. It's M+ suprized me a lot.

I am sticking with Audio from external sources and I am using Massive, FM8, RAUM, and basically every simple FX is actually great for making new combinations and new FX .

Your feature for Export is great and would be great.

I suggest you to use Unit under the Safety Instructions which is in my opinion important.

Try not to overcomplicate and import Audio formats only or Presets you use for Massive, FM8, ect.

Start your projects on the M+ and stick to using the instruments and effects which are available on the M+.

Focus on the capabilities of the M+, which are not that limited as you might think at first

Learn how to work with Maschine’s internal synth engines and effects.

Create your own presets for FM8, Massive, Prism on the computer and transfer them to the M+.

If you need to use something else, sample it right away.

Thanks for your advice both!

You can also load cool Reaktor synths and devices and use them in both states (M2…M+)
