Maschine 2.18.0 2.18.1 Note Repeat velocity locked when "LOCK" is on. FIXED on 2.18.3

I think Maschine filters AT because it's sequencer does not know what to do with it. Since it uses AT for note repeat velocity, it allows it only in that scenario. In this case, the sequencer does not record AT, just velocity data.

I think this thread would go a lot better if we used 2 terms for aftertouch.

The act of applying pressure and getting different values over time.

There's also a standard midi implementation of aftertouch that is interoperable with every other device that supports the standard midi implementation of aftertouch. NI doesn't follow the standard midi implementation for a lot of stuff in maschine. It's one of the reasons they're able to make a controller that works so well with their software; but I also think it's an intentional design choice. That's a topic for another thread.

I think Mark is talking about the standard midi implementation. The maschine software doesn't do it. It never has. The maschine hardware can do it when in midi mode and used with software or hardware that supports the standard midi implementation. It's not something built into the hardware because the maschine hardware is just a dumb box with no utility unless you plug it into a computer. It's sending out data that's converted into the standard midi implementation. I think it's fair to say maschine doesn't have aftertouch.

The note repeat feature has a function you operate with the same mechanics as aftertouch (press pad, vary the pressure and you get values over time). I wouldn't call it 'aftertouch' because it's not the standard midi implementation; but I can understand calling it aftertouch. I can pitchbend on my guitar, but it doesn't have a pitchwheel or send midi data. It's still called pitchbending.

Maybe we should call the standard midi implementation "midi aftertouch" to remove any confusion. Use a maschine controller in midi mode with a computer and you can get "midi aftertouch" if you use it with software or hardware that supports the standard midi implementation. M+ (and I guess the mk3) can do full poly aftertouch/pressure. The maschine software doesn't do "midi aftertouch" at all. It never has. It has an aftertouch feature in the note repeat function; but it's not "midi aftertouch"; or if it is midi aftertouch, it's not actually exposed to the user as midi aftertouch.

If someone is saying they were using the standard midi implementation of aftertouch inside of the maschine software; uhh… what? Did NI add it without telling anyone? I gave up on the idea years ago. I use M+ with a SH4D. It can receive poly aftertouch. I'm sure some of the patches have it built in and I would have noticed; but maybe not. I've not been actively checking because it's been soooooo long.

@SBkillabeatz It appears we are both experiencing the same frustrating issue. I noticed it immediately upon updating to 12.18 and confirm rolling back to 12.17 fixes the issue. I also immediately opened a ticket about this glitch in which I was told twice now that they cannot replicate the issue(???) I forwarded this topic in our last email exchange in hopes they have a better understanding as to exactly what the problem is. Fingers freaking crossed they identify and fix this glitch because I use note repeat with AT heavily. I was quite relieved to stumble across the post and see that I'm not the only one experiencing this!

Are you also using one of the older units? Studio, mk2, mk1?

Received an email by NI tech support stating they have replicated this issue and a bug report has been submitted with future update fix pending 👍🏼
