No tooltips is driving me crazy

olafmol

I'll keep it short: the lack of tooltips in the Maschine software is really driving me nuts! Please add it (or bring it back?) to the Maschine software to improve usability and UX 1000%. F.e. what is the keyboard shortcut to enable/disable record? No idea, hover over the record button, nothing.

What is the difference between the orange coloured looking glass next to the preset name, and the light-grey looking glass to the right side, what do they do? I don't know…. it's really a HUGE ommission…

I completely agree that there ought to be either tool tips that you could turn on/off or at least a downloadable list in the Maschine 3 software downloads tab section on the NI site.

In the mean time I found this for you :

Quote D-One : Not 100% sure but I think the only new Key commands are for the new mouse features:

• X - Split Notes
• Y - Join Notes
• Z - Mute Notes
• E - Pencil (already existed)

Barry Daniel Music has a video about a PDF download with all (?) shorcuts, here. Or…

I also took this from Google AI but I do not have time to check accuracy :
