About your ideas for Maschine 3

Thread title "Ideas for Maschine 3.0" probably had something to do with it..

I think folks should try to keep things simple and concise, suggest only a few (1-3) of the most important features for your personal workflow, long wishlists are probably asking too a bit too much..

I just want three things:

1: Stability

2: Stability

3: Stability

I'm experiencing the strangest problems with Maschine 3.0.

a) Crashes when loading Kontakt 7 instruments. Unprovoked just loading a certaion instrument and boom, worktop background and Maschine 3 gone. Can't repeat them, they are behaving like minefield.

b) Scaler 2 opens with half it's interface missing

c) When I walk away from my computers to go too the powderroom (ehem), and my monitor bores out on me. When the monitor is back in business I only see half of the VST on wich the focus was prior to the restroom break.

Nice testing guys.

Config: i9 13900k, 4070 TI (MSI), 64 Gb of Memory, 10TB diskspace.

I know, this isnt a place for bug reporting but I thought you should know anyway. And for the lads and lasses who think Maschine is a DAW, It isn't, it a groovebox. I think of it as a MC505 that lives in a computer and does not have a ****** LCD display.

So I don't need added anything. But I don't call this a 3.0 either.

Greets and keep up the good work, but test it a little better (T-Map anyone?)

why should I have to get another piece of software to link two pieces of software from one company? They should have done this from the start I could use machine inside of tractor as an F1 replacement or even as a set on its own I have nothing against Stapleton. I just find it odd that they don’t make their own to each other without a third-party software seems counterproductive.

wishlist:

Ability to SELECT MIDI EVENTS ACROSS MULTIPLE PADS VIA THE HW so one could easily copy 1/2 a bar of drums from one pattern to somewhere else in that pattern or another pattern). Could use the same approach of X/Y bounds as seen when selecting melodic midi notes inside one single pad's midi events

Ability to CROP A PATTERN so you can discard all the midi before an after some bound. So you can just jam out then select the bit that worked and discard the rest. Bonus points for making it easy to COPY PATTERN EVENTS INTO ANOTHER EXISTING PATTERN. This would make working on drum fills/adding variation after on the HW way nicer IMO. Easier to edit afterwards than having to focus on getting it right first time.

SNAP TO (BEAT/MEASURE-BASED) GRID when working within the audio editor. Asis you can copy/paste/silence/fade etc while in the sample audio editor. Have wished forever that you could paste audio to an exact part of the sample based on a beat/bar timeline. Being able to copy and paste small slices of audio that you can see directly (not abstracted away as a midi from a sliced pad) would be a boon for slicing complex breaks. Being able to start a fade at exactly 1/2 bar of time away from sample finish etc. Having precise knob control for doing this and seeing it directly on screen would be awesome

IMO all three would delivery practical workflow improvements, seem like they would not be too difficult and are functionalities already possible using the competition

My most hopeful additions:

1. Aftertouch (it's 2024, come on already!)
2. M+ compatibility with M3
3. M+ kernel update
4. Please make the loop on/off in sampler a global control on multi-samples

Long Shots:

1. more assignable modulation control per sound
2. better sounding filter in the sampler (monark…?)
3. DAW-like amp control over audio content, where you can visualize the volume swells, crossovers, and fadeouts. You can get this with samplers ADSR or print basic fades, but it would be rad to get more power over this.

Long shots 1 & 3 are basically what I have to export to a DAW to do; Maschine could be my final DAW if I had these. Number 2 would be so rad; I love that Monark filter, and NI was able to make it efficient enough for loads of voices in Massive X.

I like Maschine as an instrument. It must be intuitive and CONSISTENT. When you can move your hands around and know exactly where you are, without having to re-check for status looking at the SW or the HW.

1. Instead of PAGE scrolling on Instruments, imagine use buttons 1-8 to JUMP. To i.e. SAMPLER MOD page, Filter, etc. Like on Ableton Push, Digitakt, etc.

("Navigate" was a good idea but requires SHIFT =( …even though VARIATION is a much less practical feature)

2. Fix logic consistencies: If VOLUME button is activated (for controlling volume with 4-D encoder) when you visit ARRANGER (or BROWSER or SAMPLING) and then return pressing ARRANGER again, VOLUME button is still on. Which is 100% logic. However, if you go to MIXER and return, it gets deactivated. (!) That's extremelly confusing on live situations. Same goes for SWING and TEMPO.

3. Percentage % on CPU meter !!

DAW templates for the M+ that are at least equivalent to the Mk3
