No aftertouch in Maschine
Answers

I don’t believe it either. My comment was written and intended as sarcasm. It’s one of the reasons I’m being increasingly drawn away from Maschine as a serious tool for creating my music. No problems with aftertouch using my NI keyboard within a third party DAW using NI plug-ins that support it. It’s a ridiculous situation that a company can’t fully support their own products but third parties products just work and further more have no plans to give what many of their customers have asked for.
I don’t recall ever reading a disclaimer when purchasing my NI keyboard that aftertouch will not work in their own software.

Truly bizarre that aftertouch, which the device can actually physically manage polyphonically, isn't available to plugins. Flies completely in the face of the NKS creedo, which I updated in bold below to improve its truthiness.
"NKS brings all your software instruments, effects, loops and samples, into one intuitive workflow – creating seamless integration between NI and other leading developers. It gives you streamlined browsing, consistent tagging, instant sound previews, pre-mapped parameters (EXCEPT AFTERTOUCH), Smart Play features, and more. NKS also connects all your favorite tools to our KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboards and software, MASCHINE, and third-party controllers.So If you see the NKS logo, you know what to expect: An intuitive and comfortable workflow that makes it easy to bring your sound to life, but fails to deliver the expression that aftertouch has afforded users since MIDI's inception in 1983. While the rest of the world moves on to MIDI 2.0, and MPE, we took a bold step backwards. Less is More."

OK now we have Apple Silicon and VST3 sorted please make bringing Maschine into the 21st century with regard to midi expression a priority. This means not just support for channel aftertouch, which it is absurd that Maschine doesn't support already considering it is supported by their own flagship keyboards and a key modulator in their flagship synth (Massive X), but also polyphonic aftertouch, MPE, MIDI 2 and MTS-ESP.

Also please revert this from being 'answered' - with all due respect to the mods, it was not

It is anwered in the sense that the information is - maschine does not have that feature - unfortunately also in my opinion, we cannot answer it here like "it will be implemented on the ....."

Hmmm ....
Kind of tricky because this new forum has Q&A question-threads with the answered / unanswered system, I think the OP's question is "answered" apart from the "why?" which will never be answered by NI. So, If the "where do I request" is not enough to mark it as answered then what would? Actually implementing aftertouch? That would make sense in a Feature Request thread more than in a Q&A thread...
If this was a discussion-thread instead of a question-thread then it would remain open forever... Discussion threads don't have a "solved" / "best answer" tag. I could edit it but it's more up to the OP.

Ok I probably shouldn’t have said that if it’s diverting from the main issue

It was a feature request thread for many years on the old forum

Not a problem, healthy discussion.
Yes but this one is a question. Back in the old forum we had a section for requests, i would merge a bunch of the same or just direct people towards the main request thread, they would get an implemented tag if that ever happened.
In this new forum we only have that for Traktor afaik, for Maschine theres just a feature request tag, which everyone is free to use, you can make one if you wish.

OK I made it a FR thread
We really could do with that in all forums and with a voting feature though

This is a real bummer. Like others have stated, I can't use it to record what I would like to record without this feature. So I have to record at least those parts elsewhere. I love the maschine mk3 though, so nice to switch up instruments and patches amazingly quickly.

People often underestimate the value of aftertouch, if a keyboard has it it's a great way to have additional expression literally at the tips of your fingers. Most things like modwheel, pitchbend or macro knobs require taking one hand off the keys, or using another appendage as in foot pedals. With aftertouch there is nothing to distract you from playing the keyboard with feeling and expression and feeling a closer connection to it. Even better with poly aftertouch of course.

Any news? Now that more and more controllers pop up with PAT? Even the new NI Komplete series?
