Hi @Chris_NI ! Thanks for the update, it sounds promising!
As you mentioned you are reading the thread, I take the chance to mention two or three simple things that if activated (I think) would help Maschine musically. Hope not to bother.
As @LostInFoundation mentioned it, Patterns are a powerful tool for playing live. It would be great to give them better use. Like being able to MIDI map them (just like with SCENES) and option to Trigger when Pattern ends (just like Scenes on 'Perform Grid' set at Scene).
I noticed also two details that would help the workflow when using it as a musical instrument for live performances. To be able to UNPIN Pad/Keyboard/Chords/Step screens (like it was in MK2; otherwise, you always have to double-press when switching modes to keep the Plug-in screen visible). And option to Audio mute ON/OFF for Groups (just like with Sounds, to preserve tails).
Now thanks for reading! Keep up the good work !

Dear NI managers!
Please dedicate a couple minutes of your precious time to read this example of proper user feedback management.
Thank you!
PS: Dear downvoters - ready, steady, go! 😆

Is the Maschine+ 2.0 Beta a separate program, so next to the Maschine SW beta?
Really looking forward to the beta for M+.

hi Chris, thank you for your update.
Not sure how many people have made these requests but you really need to add a Zoom Function on the Maschine software.
Its a Major drag with the mouse and that bar on the bottom of the UI sometimes doesnt react when you want to zoom back to the main window.
Im sure other users have complained about this.
Also Maschine software should offer bouncing tracks in Mono and not only stereo as to make the stems easier to transfer to mix in Logic Pro for Example.
I Will continue to send message as I was also talking to your colleague Kai when NI asked for users to make suggestions on what to update in the Maschine Software.Thank you for your time

Hi @beisi
Yes, we're actively exploring this, along with other potential automation improvements for 2025. More details will be shared in the next quarterly update.Right now, the teams are focused on delivering the current quarter’s releases, so we can’t provide specifics just yet.
That said, automation improvements are high on our list of considerations for future development.

Thank you to everyone who has shared feedback—it truly helps shape the future of our Maschine & Kontrol. We appreciate your passion, insights, and ongoing support.
I’ll be back next quarter with another update. Until then, keep the feedback coming!

Since we previously shared the timeframe for this discussion, I’m now closing this thread. I hope we’ve covered the key points, and as Chris mentioned, he’ll be back with more updates.
For those who might not know, we had an idea section for Maschine where we gathered your requests. It may be closed now, but all the votes are safely stored.
Thanks again to everyone who joined the conversation!
