Hello everyone,
I recently bought a Maschine MK2 Mikro after having come from using Maschine MK1 for a long time. Mostly because the MK1 doesn't work on my new M1 Mac, but also I liked the smaller, more portable foot print of the Mikro.
Overall I really enjoy the Mikro, but Im really puzzled by the the step sequencer mode on the Mikro, especially what seems to be missing in functionality compared to my MK1 full Maschine.
One way I loved working on my MK1 was finger drumming in a few short loops and then go into the step mode and edit on a per step basis pretty much every aspect of the steps (timing, pitch, velocity, and automation values) by pressing the step in question and twiddling an encoder until I liked what I heard.
That whole work flow seems to be missing from the Mikro.
I kind of get that changing the step pitch and step - timing manipulation is gone because the Mikro misses a few buttons (though Im sure that could be accommodated by some button press combinations without too much hassle), but it seems that also the per step automation can not be changed anymore and not even the note velocity? (except during input ofc).
Basically what I'm asking is, is the encoder really absolutely unused in step mode or am I overlooking a method to make it control velocity and automation.
Thanks for your help and answers, (even if the answers confirm my fear - because than I can at least stop searching for a way to do it)
