Feature Requests Regarding Automation and Macros in Maschine 3

Fuokki

Dear Native Instruments Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I would like to inquire about potential updates to Maschine 3 regarding automation and macros. Specifically:

1. Automation Curves

Are there any plans to implement automation curves, such as drawing lines between points, adjusting curve shapes, reversing automation, etc.? The current system doesn’t always allow for smooth or nuanced transitions, and curve editing would significantly improve workflow and precision.

2. Advanced Macro Assignments

Will it be possible in future updates to assign multiple parameters to a single macro, similar to how macros function in the Play Series instruments? This would greatly enhance live performance and sound design capabilities.

3. Recording Lock State Presses

Is there any chance we’ll be able to record Lock state presses directly into patterns or clips? At the moment, this can only be done via a MIDI loopback (routing Maschine’s MIDI output back into its own input), which is functional but far from intuitive or user-friendly.

Thank you for your time and for the continuous development of Maschine. These features would be valuable additions for many users, and I hope they are under consideration.
