This discussion was created by comment split from: About your ideas for Maschine 3, where at least half of the comments was irrelevant (something that i find extremely annoying in conversations).

This thread is exclusively about Maschine 3 software.
NOT about Maschine + or any other hardware or software, neither about complains or problems.

So please keep it clean and focused on the specific subject. Or, simply go to the thread mentioned before. Thank you.

    Few tips for improvements that can make our life easier ☺️

    1- More flexibility on NKS creation

    Please release some of the Maschine CP (Developers edition) features. Especially the ability to create .previews when you save NKS presets.

    2- More keyboard shortcuts and the ability to create our own.

    For example: A command for Save as (not the one on the main menu!), when you load a VST and you want to save presets as NKS. It is so annoying and time consuming, that you need to leave the plugin and use 3 mouse clicks every time, to access it...

    In the above case, an "Assign keyboard shortcut" (for example Alt+S) command, would be great to have.

    In general, the ability to do less things with the mouse, when possible… i start to have a serious problem with my right hand (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) from the extensive mouse use… ☹️

    3- Auto-update current preset name

    When you click the Save as (as in the example above), it would be great to appear the name of the current preset, not the previous one!

    Or perhaps a command like "copy/paste preset name". In too many cases, we have to write every single preset name by hand…

    4- Fast mouse wheel scrolling in Preferences Library/Plugins

    Mouse wheel scrolling is extremely slow in that areas… If you have huge lists and you want to assign (for example) default templates, it is like a… turtle vs snail Marathon! 🤪

    5- Bring back full screen view

    It is really not necessary for a desktop but it's a "must" for laptop computers!

    That's all (for now), thank you.

    Agreed… and those are some great ideas, btw!

    I had a few myself that I've posted on different threads before. One of them being, to make Controller Editor the main MIDI Setup software for all of the NI Hardware. Additionally, to refashion it to be more like a Reaktor interface or GUI, where we can make connections and even share connections between devices. It would make life easier when we're using our NI Hardware, like Komplete Kontrol and Maschine, in other Programs. It would also allow us to save our various setups as Template files, such as production, live performance and external controller templates.
