Coming up next for MASCHINE and MASCHINE+

The autosampler is very practical. You connect an external instrument in Midi, and this same instrument on the audio input of the M+, you can adjust which note interval you want and also several velocities for each note. The M+ will play the external instrument and at the same time sample all the received notes. In the end, you will automatically have this external instrument fully sampled in the M+ and automatically according to your settings

How will one save the auto-samples when as I understand the file directory in Maschine+ is only two-menu deep.

Maybe this new feature, in the new update, will add a folder to each auto sampling performed

It would have it's own Maschine "certified" expansion packs, exclusive features and all. They can distill technologies from Traktor and other products into this line of hardware.

I quite like how it currently is, and usually exchange Projects and Groups and Sounds between the Maschine+ and the Maschine 2 SW on the computer. It's actually the selling point to me: Identical system, identical files, just move it over take it with you or finish it in the studio.

the extensions do not cause a problem, it is especially the internal instruments that consume more resources

None of that is really a problem, and exspecially the internal instruments can be greatly optmized to work on the M+, which may not be possible to the same degeree for the other (VST) plugins. However, I think it is absolutley genious to be able to run Massive or Reaktor on a standalone device.

And regarding CPU power: Just think how much less powerful desktop computers where when those synth plugins (Reaktor, Massive, Absynth) were introduced.

I cannot say how vital auto-sampling as a feature is to anybody that knows the history of grooveboxes & samplers...Having this process is a godsend, ask anybody from the mpc or the MV8800 era.

I would also add that this shows M+ & MAS users how NI still very much sees M+ & MAS as a groovebox first & a DAW replacement second.

Have a good one,

Don’t know if mentioned before, but to create/move and editing notes easier in Events is something that I wish for. And step edit chords. :)

Me too.

I'm doing just fine with the current cpu power, no issues. The biggest concern I had was at the beginning with the lack of stability, but this problem is solved for me for a very large part.

It is true that with the auto sampler, we will have even more possibilities to make music.

Excellent summary

I find this news dissapointing tbh. I wish NI would first focus on a few more basic features that frankly should have been there from day 1. Top of that list would be automation editing. Also, basic realtime sample playback modulation (loop start/end/length) and more modulators (envelopes and LFOS) and destinations in general.

I disagree totally.

I want more expansions, the more the better. Every one increases the usefulness of Maschine itself for a working producer/composer (as opposed to just a tinkerer with no work to do).

And I don't care at all about Maschine+ - Maschine as a platform is more important to me than stability/performance fixes for a product I don't even own, I only use the Mk 3.

Oh come on, it seems like producing expansion packs has been their main focus for the past several years. There's more than enough already for you to produce banal garbage for the next 20 years :). Time for some innovative features for a change!

The expansion creators aren’t even NI employees let alone are they engineers for the product, there’s no relationship between the two.

I have suggested many features and want Maschine development for sure, I just don’t care about M+. Sadly I knew this would happen where all their engineering resources go toward follow on support for M+ and embedded performance (and to a lesser degree bare minimum OS compatibility, vst3, arm) rather than moving the software itself along.

These days you need a full time team just to make software keep working with macOS.

You preaching real good.
