    M+ exclusive versions?

    Better to release duplicates of their expansions labeling them “WAV only”…

    NI doesn’t only point at where the money is. They also need a “0 work involved” strategy.

    So many missed occasions, imo. But…hey…they are the experts…they’re the ones able to read the “user’s data”…

    What I find baffling about the "user data" is that they assume that it represents all of their users, instead of just the ones who were able to give them feedback. The fact that a lot of people were pretty mad about the lack of Maschine support for the new KK keyboards kinda proves the opposite of what they claim about it being under utilized. Besides that fact, they could have made more marketing videos for the KK2 or asked influencers to do that so that people were more aware of the maschine integration. Oh well.

    In some cases, hiding things is a form of marketing 😏

    Oh my…. the whining is getting out hand. Every email update I get from these forums is some negative nancy and its getting a bit tiring honestly…

    How long was NI around before the Maschine existed?

    Imagine this. NI launches the Maschine and for years the feedback they get from their NI reps is that everyone hates it and constantly complains instead of talking about whats good.

    What if you were on the development team and knew that you were tied up with limits but the people want more and more?

    Do you think it would be a wise choice to continue investing in something like this if you were NI?

    It very well may be the end of the Maschine when this is all said and done.

    How many of you whiners can answer 10 questions that I randomly pull out of these two 500 page books?

    🤣🫣 I guess those two ‘stones’ are not about logical reasoning…

    @GrooveBox Wow those are some nice looking manuals! I've only been here a few years, and my Maschine+ didn't come with such a tome. I miss the days of printed manuals.

    It's a shame. Ableton don't even offer a PDF version of the Live 12 manual now. 😥

    I think he printed them himself. My Studio didn’t come with any physical manual. Or it’s a matter of different things included in the box in different countries.

    If you need PDF version of Live 12 manual, someone made it collecting all the HTML:

    I print most of my manuals the same way, and take them up to a local Staples store to have them spiral-bound like in that picture.

    The last one I printed was for my Yamaha Montage M, and it just about choked my printer. Killed my Cyan, Magenta, and Black cartridges and forced me to spend over $300 buying fresh ones.

    Is NI even workin' on Maschine?

    Really, Maschine (especially Plus) feels like abandomware… MID SEPTEMBER 2024 NO UPDATES.

    Well, what I also read from @Matthew_NI response to my questions on the upcoming Kontakt 8 release (see September 12th), is that the team did some work on the announced ‘fixes’. But someone (or the team) has changed priorities.

    Exactly what I was thinking about the situation - someone changed plans. So i guess WE THE USERS are not so important. Shame.

    I won't have time for dealing with a M+ update after an official MPC 3 release. 😉
