Feature Request: Add Master Meter Option in Mixer View (Maschine+ & mk3)

Hi NI Team, I’d like to request a UX improvement for Maschine+ that will greatly help dawless and live performance users:

Feature Request : Add an option to display the Master Output Meter inside the Mixer View.

Current Behavior : Mixer mode only shows Group/Sound meters, The Master meter exists, but only in the Master layer, Users must switch layers to check clipping / gain staging

Proposed UX : In Mixer Mode, press: SHIFT + Button 8 (Master), This toggles “Pin Master Meter”, Master meter appears at far left of mixer strips (temporarily replaces the 8th channel slot)

Why this matters : Maschine+ is used as a live instrument.

During a live jam or performance we need to quickly confirm : Master level health, Clipping status, Limiter behaviour, Overall output headroom, Jumping in/out of Master layer interrupts performance flow.

Benefits : Faster performance monitoring, UX consistency with Maschine software, No new DSP load - UI only, Small feature, huge real-world value.

Maschine+ is a performance instrument - Master metering should always be one glance away.

This would be a very welcome quality-of-life update for stage and DAW-less musicians.

Thanks for considering!

if you have maschine Jam, it comes with a Master level output meter which you can monitor via the Levels led meter on the top right of the Jam!

It would be nice, Master Leds is one of the things we lost from the Maschine Studio.

I like your proposal, even tho I would prefer if the current useless uber-tiny Meters could be used for it instead, since they always visible everywhere.

We have this:

This would be much better, (including a clipping indicator):

Then by holding Shift as you said, we could temporarily see the Master; with a different color (from the Sound/Group) so it's clear what's happening:

This would fix both the lack of Master meters everywhere + the stupid tiny meters at the expense of not being able to fully display super long Group/Sound text names.
