Assistive playing tools

Akai just announced MPC Stems. I wish I could go to NAMM

There used to be the Traktor Kontrol S5 and S8 that were made in order to control STEMS, real STEMS. But both controllers have been discontinued. Now everybody seems to go in the direction of STEM separation starting from and audio file (like RipX is doing). So it would be awesome if the Maschine DAW would implement this technology too, consider the high quality of Native Instruments software, that makes me think they can create the best STEM separation plugin for Machine and Traktor Pro.

There is no hardware recommendation section, but please check this out. Imagine if Maschine embraced a modular hardware approach, allowing users to customize their equipment. For instance, switch between a set of 16 larger pads for finger drumming and easily "pop out" to replace them with a panel featuring 32 or 64 pads. This modular concept would let users purchase specific sections, such as controls and pads (similar to MIKRO), and upgrade over time to include screens, faders, and knobs (becoming an MK3). For those who only need USB connectivity and not additional features like audio interfaces or preamps, a modular design would save them money, future-proof the system and potentially save costs by avoiding frequent redesigns.

Given the very sad likelihood of Jam Mk2 appearing being akin to Bigfoot getting his own quiz show on TV then having a plugin bigger pad arrangement might actually be considered feasible maybe... what do people think?

just bought maschine mikro, it is a really nice toy! :)

i was wondering if it will be ever be possible to setup a MID OUT in a single track/group, so that i could direct external message to a DAW or to an external synth.

Maschine has a great potential for performances. arpeggio, step sequencer, responsivity of pads... it would be wonderful if it could be used as a controller for external instruments/DAW, and it would be simply possible to set up a MIDI out inside maschine, to direct the midi notes out from a track/pattern/sound into the external world.

Оver the years I have collected thousands of presets for Massive, FM8. But when I want to transfer them to M+ I always face problems.

The attributes of presets must have the same bankname. And if there is a mistake even in one letter, M+ will create another folder for them. But even in commercial banks this happens a lot! As result i have 2-3 folders on M+ for one bank on PC

Why can't I create banks according to the principle that I like? For example, to collect all "Chord" presets from different sources and throw them into one folder on M+ ? And not spend long hours rewriting attributes of presets.

Cause you don't have a tool to quickly batch rename properties. I don't even dream of a tool that quickly creates a preview.ogg for each preset
