Thoughts on new update

argyre planitia

Some remarks/complaints:

First:

The plugin windows are now all on top. Really on top. Always. They even hide my web browser, task manager or office application. No way to put them into the background. Was that intended? For doing a serious production/recording, all other applications should be closed - but for simple testing purposes or when following a tutorial on YouTube at the same time?

They still remain visible and on top, if I minimize the main window into the task bar!

And: the may hide even the "Preferences" dialog or the "cancel/discard/save" dialog when closing an unsaved project.

Second:

The grid is still dark gray on black, gridlines are nearly unseeable. Still want my old colour scheme back, at least as an option. the current colour scheme is not what I call barrier free!!

Third:

drawing automation curves results in croocked lines, not straight ones. Still would like to have the option of drawing an automation curve simply clinking a start- and an end-point and get a straight line in between. So, as Somplitude does it since years…

Points 2 and 3 are nothing revolutionary, but should be easy to implement and make life much easier.

The biggest problem with the update right now is parity, things in V2 that work, that do not work in v3, things in V2 that were such and such a size, that in V3 take up way more space with no actual advantage to the user.
Right now I find myself booting v2 over v3 pretty much every time, and until something is added that I think, yep, I need that, then I doubt that will be changing anytime soon.

there is still some vst's there doesn't show up in suitable size...like arturia, xln and even Izotope stuff... annoying

Oh yes, Pigments often occupies half the screen…

Another problem that I already had before the update (but which still persists): plugin windows escape from the main window - after starting Maschine, open plugins are far more to the right or bottom compared to where they were, when I closed Maschine.

I am afraid, that sooner or later a window will be completely outside the screen.

would be much better to make piano roll with notes only from selected scale (like in Live), don't see any benefits of seeng a note name if I don't know is a note in my chosen scale or not, for example F is not in E minor, but I can put it into piano roll

by the way, this has probably been asked many times already, but will we see a high resolution GUI any time soon or I can forget about it?😊

very disappointing to use Maschine comparing to other programs…

D!ce

I'd really like to see Capture MIDI added to Maschine in the not too distant future. That would be a very welcome and useful feature.
