    what a great start to 2025! Love the new communication model, and the updates coming to Maschine and the Smk3

    I take it's not possible / planned?

    Would be nice to have along with the tempo per scene functionality.

    Yes. The strips are awesome. Unfortunately was a flop commercially. It would’ve sold much better if it wasn’t tied to Maschine mk3 and the Maschine daw. They should’ve made a hybrid Jam that could integrate with Maschine and also be a standalone 4/8 track sequencer (like the Novation Launchpad pro mk3 or the most recent Akai APC64). This would’ve extended the longevity of the product given the broader market it would reach


    Such a great design, only missing velocity sensitive pads and standalone function.

    There must be a misunderstanding here. You seem to think that our offices were completely shut for the holiday season but this is not correct. We had staff in these periods except for New Year's Day and Christmas. We had agents in there. If I intervened in the forum it was on my office time, as all NI representatives in the forum.

    Yes, my perception was that NI was completely shut for the holiday season.

    Every year we have a similar backlog and reply times are longer than usual and impatience builds up, especially when people are used to really short reply times.

    This last time around, it was worse than usual. Again, my perception.

    That doesn't mean there is no room for improvement. We're working on making support easier to reach and hopefully we'll be better armed for new year's big sales special.

    ^ This is all I'm asking for. Improve it, and be better prepared for year-end 2025…because it's not going to get better without some action. Thank you.

    And one more thing: You personally, Jeremy, are always on the ball. You jump in quickly and always seem to address the user's needs…or at least direct the user to the correct support personnel. You should know that this is noticed. And appreciated.

    Thank you for your hard work.

    Why not "Time Signature Per Scene"? If you already were able to implement Tempo Per Scene, it should be possible, right? It would be really nice if modern day sequencers were as good as they were like 20 years ago. The old MPCs were practically toasters compared to M+, and they had time signature changes. I'm not gonna buy an old MPC because they're A.) Expensive, B.) have a comparatively bad UX, otherwise. I just want my $1300 groovebox to do its job. It's not doing its job if it is missing core musical features. And I am not gonna argue with NI reps…Tempo & Time Sigs are the foundation of all rhythm, which means failure to consider advanced articulation via changes in those parameters is a mark of absent-mindedness at best, and utter idiocy at worst.

    @Chris_NI Any updates regarding a Traktor Roadmap? Can understand the NKS partnership program being a priority before the Komplete/Maschine Roadmap could be released, but would be nice to see something shortly on the Traktor front.

    That's a question for @Kaiwan_NI within the Traktor forum

    Not even Kaiwan (she’s the forum administrator). I think Friedemann or Martiniix would be more fitted.

    Surely not Chris, who is in charge for Maschine and Kontrol.

    But I understand why you ask Chris…good luck in meeting the others ☺️

    How exciting! Is there any possibility of bringing midi mapping to maschine+ standalone? Would really add to the "standalone" part of the name 😉 looking forward to seeing what's up next thanks for update 🙏

    a guitar rig lite version and the chord/phrases tools for Maschine+ would be dope!
