Flat look... am I the only one?

DynaMaltee

Hey, I can't get used to the new look of Maschine Software. Everything is flat now, all internal effects and instruments used to look beautiful in the older software versions. Buttons, knobs, encoders had gradients and just looked inspiring and clean just like some kind of device.

Now everything looks as if I am using a Max 4 Live device in Ableton. Encoders are just circles! Why does evertything need to be flat these days. And am I the only one who cares about that? I mean yeah look does not change functionality. But I don't go out in a potato sack just because it keeps me warm. We have top notch graphic hardware in our computers nowadays but device graphics get reduced to the bare possible minimum here.

Please let me know your thoughts about that.

Hello,

Personally, it doesn't bother me, and I think it's also to save computer resources. Maschine is getting increasingly resource-intensive, especially with the use of plugins. What bothers me about the interface is the menus that appear in the background when a plugin window is open. How is that even possible these days ? No other software does that.

Adjusting the display of the different sections isn't logical or consistent. For example, you have to search for the line (1 pixel) to enlarge or shrink the modulation section.

When you have several plugin windows open and you press a pad (pad mode), the corresponding window doesn't appear in the foreground and/or appears randomly. (It's illogical.). The pinning of plugin windows remains volatile.
