Possible to Bypass entire Group or Sound + FX chain with one press in Maschine+? Was thinking about how to conserve CPU as an alternative to the upcoming bounce in place. Wondering if it’s possible or has been considered? Bypassing effects or bypassing plugin appears to drop CPU so when noodling ideas, I’ll build some sounds in a group and go back and forth before settling on something. In between, I bypass effects and if I use, sound plugins. The alternative is to save as sound and then reload, but that takes more time. If there was a way to disable Sound + all FX in one gesture? How about Group and everything in the group hierarchy?
So in absence of more recent generative tools in M+ (I use randomize with decent results) and challenges in automation / lack of assignable modulation, was thinking about leveraging a MIDI tool like Digitone II MIDI out with assignable LFOs, are there plans to add in M+ MIDI CC mapping? Was thinking Macro knobs could have a CC # assignment. I read about creating sounds on PC, MIDI learn macro knobs, saving sound and transferring over to M+ but it’s such a buzz kill for me while in the groove. Kontakt 8 MIDI gen stuff (Phrases, Patterns) is awesome, wondering if that’s planned to be ported to M+?
I love all of the Boris videos and I learn a ton from him. Hope he has more on the way. His videos I feel like blow more excitement into Maschine ecosystem more than new content sometimes. He talks about Drum Tuning in his video. Right now in M+ I use my ears but it’s harder on drums what’s the preferred key / frequency detection method? Hoping M3 adds key detection FX plugin. On PC, there are many options but in M+, I probably need a pedal for more accuracy.

I want to help but I know from experience that...no one is grateful, at least not worth me, etc.

You need MIDI cable 5pin and connect m+ MIDI in to MIDI out with that cable and you will be able to control multiparmeters, everything you see via Lock States and them via keyboard mode -touch strip or chose Grid value. You can place them on linear time line and it's absolutely amazing.

Feature requests - again? Take a number bro. NI is still fulfilling FR's submitted a decade ago.. 😹

Maybe exactly because they are from so long ago… they forgot them…

Our duty to help them remind we are still here…☺️

Btw: I would correct your statement in “NI is still NOT fulfilling FR's submitted a decade ago” 😂😂😂

i find it frustrating that external midi CCs coming in can already adjust parameter values but for whatever reason they cannot be recorded, that is seemingly only reserved for moving the knob directly on the Maschine HW (or the KK HW I am told).

have asked about it in the last two times when we are allowed to talk to the product team, when they say they will listen before they close the thread buuuuuuut -crickets— tumbleweed-

instead lets spend all our upcoming (very limited) dev budget developing a stem seperation on standalone (who is asking for this? will always be poor vs using SW) instead of better user chord impl (seriously editing JSONs is the solution?), param automation curves, proper project sync between standalone and desktop SW etc etc etc

is all just yelling into the void though hehe, indeed reasonable feature requests from over 10 YEARS ago are still ignored. Such a shame it feels with a few smart features it could be so much better.
