What’s New in Maschine+ 1.6.1

NI please consider the following:

Allow for recording of external midi CCs. External midi can already control/move the knobs but it isn’t recorded!

Provide a way to make simple param automation curves like ramps, sine, etc. Should be something possible to do from the controller.

snap to measure (beat/bar) based grid for the audio editor. So one can copy a piece of audio and then using the play head PRECISELY paste it somewhere. Likewise would mean can precisely trim a piece of any audio to a bar relative to the current tempo. Would make the audio editor so useful!

allow for cropping of patterns, to discard all events outside of the pattern start/end

allow for easy copy/paste of a single ‘page’ of events of a drum pattern to another page of a drum pattern to greatly speed up editing existing patterns and making variations

An easy way to move products between standalone and desktop.

Some kinda bulk bounce of desktop projects so all plugin midi is converted to audio for easy further use on standalone.

This update is about Maschine+. Nothing changed in MK3.

In any case, here you can find the last firmware for MK3 (1.4.5) if you want to check it anyway, but is from 2019, so probably you already have it (unless you haven’t looked at it in the last 6 years):

I've just updated and is working absolutely fine so far no problems.

I hate to pour water onto the fire but why is this update so amazing to people? I can change the buffer size, ok. Wasn't something I needed or cared about. The new FX sound great but no license, yet.

i don't see any improvements over the last update it all ran pretty fine anyway. Machine 3 and the new available play instruments like the Akia MPC's have was what I was looking forward to. Got money happy to pay. Sorry if this isn't in line with everyone else. I am of course happy that the flagship hardware has finally been given some kind of update…

Every time it's just Freeze.

I didn't have such situation till today and I didn't do anything I didn't do a thousand times before .

It's Standalone Mode.

2X Massive, 1X Hihat, 1X Bassline,

2X Sampler for Kick & Clap.

Think it's a Massive -NKS int- Causing Freezing.

This is not the update that points at being “amazing”.

It’s an update for people that will remain on Maschine 2, correcting things that were problematic (projects transfer back and forth with desktop, external audio interfaces,…) before definitely abandoning anything M2 related. Even if it seems there are still problems (like the Reaktor and Massive presets still not working…).

They just added a couple of bells and whistles (like the FXs) giving us “something more”.

NI moved to Maschine 3 by now. The last version of M2 on desktop should remain that one without any more releases (up to us to abandon the hope that they will address also the last hiccups in order to give the experience that was advertised). With this M+ update they are trying to at least give back those functionalities that were not working as intended.

The update you are waiting for is still to come… Maschine 3 with its new features, new instruments… and what else…

When? Will it be good? Good questions…

Btw… don’t worry: I’m sure you are not the only one not “in line”. I will also dare to say there is NO line… some are happy with it, some are not… What seems to me is that, desperate from the last years and really scared that everything would be definitely abandoned, for one time everyone is trying to at least be positive seeing something moving and trying to prove NI that news (ANY news) are welcome

M+ Standalone mode, I used two Massive NKS int- was first time I have used it and I just assumed that could be the cause Freeze.

Other Projects and older are Working so I think what did I do differently.
