About your ideas for Maschine 3

- ability to create plugin categories (synths, reverb, delay….) and add plugins to them, creating plugins list for fast access.
- option to auto open plugin window when is was added0 -
I love this idea and use it all the time in Ableton and on the Akai Force, so agree please make it happen!
that said when using this flow with the HW it really shows how Maschine is lacking a basic Pattern CROP/DISCARD/TRUNCATE or SPLIT feature (I think old maschine SW actually had this once upon a long time ago IIRC)
furthermore really wish there was an easier way to copy a bar or two of midi from an existing drum pattern to another pattern. For a single pad piano roll midi is doable but is PITA when trying to copy a single bar from a drum pattern to somewhere else. This would be a huge workflow improvement IMO

Thanks to the NI team for the latest update. For a major version, I was expecting a lot more, but the price is reasonable so kudos for keeping it real 😉
As for the next features, here are some of the things on top of my head that I would love to see implemented as an MK3 user:
Sampler realtime timestretch & pitchshift, round robin, key detectionAutomation curves & editing on the controller
Midi chase
Capture midi/audio always recording in the background
“Paste special” in sampler edit mode to add (mix) two samples together
Dedicated send tracks in the mixer
Plugin Delay compensation
Pattern crop and append
Duplicate button in Events screen to duplicate events (Shift + Copy, Shift + Paste gets tiring)
Rename things from the controller (like M+) with ready text like “Intro”, “Verse”, etc.
Fix the naming when duplicating Scenes/Patterns. Unless there are custom names assigned, revert back to the same naming scheme of the old days (“Pattern 1 (1)”, “Pattern 1 (2)” is hella confusing to me)
Double the audio outputs in VST mode
Custom arpeggio/note repeat patterns
Custom chord sets
Midi from VSTs & better internal routing
Lock states naming and coloring
Global automation lanes to record lock state changes, tempo changes and master FX
Ability to navigate from the controller the computer file structure w/o importing folders into the Library first
Add option to convert to only one clip for repeating short patterns (now it creates as many clips as pattern repetitions)
Have a way to store clips into a list so that they can be inserted at any point on the timeline
Add ability to convert a single pattern to a clip from the controller (can’t do that now)
Pattern launch quantization
Thank you!

Please finally add Audio-Quantize, so that an recorded instrument can be quantized correctly (like Bass, Guitar and so on). I'm waiting for years for this feature as I'm a long time user. cheers

Absolutely - sorting by vendor is the most useless method of sorting (especially when some companies seem incapable of being consistent about what their name is), I often struggle to remember the name of some of them which makes it harder to locate the plugin I want. Categories are much more useful (same for KK)

It would also be great if we could have an area somewhere in the UI that shows which chord is under each pad. The Maschine MK3 does have that facility on the device but for Mikro users it would be nice to have it on the PC screen.

I understand it would probably be fairly low on the list of priorities since it sounds as though some foundational and integration tweaks are in the works, but I would love to see a simple feature allowing the maschine expansion drum kits to be imported to DAWs as kits. For instance, Ableton Live drum kits. I know there are some work-arounds, but they can be especially tedious. I love the sounds in the expansions, but I am terrible at working with Maschine software, and I really prefer to use Ableton to sequence my drum midi.
On that note, is anyone aware of a simple solution? Maybe a software that can auto-create kits from the expansions?-1 -
Thats a workaround, not a feature, some things still make sound at lowest velocity.
And what if you want to recover the original velocities, what then? Not everyone makes music constantly at full velocity.

Ableton Link just works. It works so well it can link Maschine with both other NI products and 3rd party products. It's easy to use and is already implemented in many other companies' hardware and software. Oh and it's free.
Why on earth would NI want to create their own version?
7 -
Yeah, I am also curious…. Link is built in Maschine and Traktor… Why does it matter if its made by NI or Ableton?
Link is open source, something NI doesn't like to do at all, if this was NI's tech it would be proprietary, need custom drivers, eventually be abandoned and god knows what else…
VST is made by Steinberg, should NI also start their own Plugin technology? What for?

0 velocity = no output, but a velocity of 1 you will definitely hear sound. The undo button works well in this case also, but I do see where if not careful could get messy, but not hardly for a single note. D-ONE please ask the developer teams to give us like MPC style Track Mute automation, for the love of god! 🙏🏾🙏

I've been trying to keep up with this thread so, maybe I missed these being mentioned but, I would like to see the following features/tools implemented/added to Maschine 3/Maschine +:
- Browsability with NI plugin preset libraries through the hardware
- Deeper control integration with NI synths (Massive, Monark, Reaktor, FM8, etc.) through the hardware
- Import Kontakt 8 Tools (Chords, Phrases, Leap) for use in SW with HW w/o Kontakt 8 as plugin
- Audio to Midi interpretation (a la Logic 11)
- Scaler 2 type tool kit with full NI library integration for composers and music theory minded folk
- Life from XLN sampler concept
I can expound on any ideas should anyone need further comprehension or understanding. I think the features listed here would work to keep Maschine, both hardware and software, in the realm of a musical instrument while also lending deep knowledge of theory through Audio to Midi and a Scaler 2 tool set.

Give the Browser the ability to
- browse non-nks VST/VST3 plug-ins and their Presets from Hardware and Software
- browse Filessystem from Hardware
In the Software in Mixerview
- the Plug-ins (interm and extern) should have an Active/Bypass-Button and Preset Selector.
- bring back the plug-in chain stripe (helps quick jump to…)
(In Maschine 2 there was(is) an Preset Option, but only be able to list presets from VST2 strangely enough.)
BYPASS Button on MK3-Hardware right beside chain selectors instead of shift-function
Search/Hot-Swap Button should lead to the corrisponding Audio/Inst-Preset/Fx-Preset
Export mp3 Files
Full-Screen (Windows), Color-Theme Option
(Why is the Standard Menu-Bar from Windows white even in dark Mode ??)

i would love to see a better integration with cubase, i should be plug and play by now. the record, stop, and play does not work.
a template out of the box would be nice as wel. i love maschine plus by the way! litle late to the party. using it for two weeks now

How this thread became a yet another long feature request wishlist?
