I would like to see NI add a fixed velocity feature to touchpads and keys.

    FIXED VEL button: Press FIXED VEL to enable/disable the Fixed Velocity option. By default, the pads are sensitive to Velocity: The harder you hit them, the louder the Sound. With Fixed Velocity activated, your pads play at the same volume no matter how hard you hit them. For example, this can be very handy when you are triggering slices of a loop from your pads and want to have all slices at the same volume. Fixed Velocity is available in all four pad input modes: Group, Keyboard, Chords, and Step. Press SHIFT + FIXED VEL to activate/deactivate the 16 Velocities option. In this mode, your pads play the same note (pitch) of the focused Sound but with 16 different velocity values. This can be useful to play, or program complex drum fills. The right display indicates the velocity values for each pad. The Base Key defines the pitch of the played note. The 16 Velocities option is only available in Group mode, for instance, when PAD MODE is activated.

    What else would you like to see?

    I am not able to get this working in Midi Mode. I would expect the Maschine to send fixed velocity to the daw… but this does not seem to be the case.

    Pretty much all midi features are part of the maschine software. None of them would work in midi mode. This includes things like scales, chords, note repeat, 16 levels, fixed velocity, etc. They're not hardware functions

    I was afraid of this answer :-)

    It would easy to implement a switch in the Plugin and provide that functionality as real additional value to all Maschine Controllers.
