Maschine Plus Probability

of course we are all waiting for this...

once someone answered me that it would be enough if they integrated Reaktor better with Machine+ (standalone) because we could have ALL that

there are already plenty of modules of this type for Reaktor (and it is always possible to make more)

I think that's what would do the least work for them...and which would satisfy the greatest number (since everyone gets the module they need)

Could be bcs the whole maschine ecosystem is much more complex than say a circuit tracks. Who knows. Make a 16 or 32 bar loop and incorporate your own variations, that’s what I do. Variety is important but not as important as not knowing what comes next. At least not for me. Sometimes the probability function finds a really nice groove and for the next bar it’s lost and might not happen again for a while and since I export my stems I like to know what’s coming:)

yes but therefore which format do you prefer?

Actually, I think it depends...because there are some situations where we want to put a condition on a specific step

and in this case it is better to have this directly on the sequencer (for example in the piano roll window)

but sometimes we need midi effects on the track, globally,

and in this case MIDI FXs in a "plugin form" are the most effective imo

the 2 are perhaps also for different situations..

the first case will be more on a composing phase, and the 2nd case (midi FXs) more for a live performance

Yeah I’d love to see this.

I second all the above but a good work around is to connect something like a Keystep pro, Circuit Tracks, etc. to trigger event probabilities into Maschine's seq via audio recording and/or sequencing them into a clip/pattern 😁 (It doesn't take a super long loop to trick the brain into thinking it's completely random)

Another excellent way to achieve the aleotoric/random probability quality is through phase looping: record off-the-grid phrases (performed at different tempos/lengths) into patterns/clips so that all the patterns and clip's loops phase in and out with each other creating constant unexpected relationships and randomness. Tip: Creating empty space before and after events in a pattern will create a "clip mode" linear quality if you prefer pattern mode. Its also a highly effective technique to add another element of randomness, and variable density that creates interesting ebbs and flows of intensity (IMO the special sauce in ambient aleotoric music). Tip 2: Clip and pattern modes work great for this in their own ways but I do prefer pattern mode for this technique because unlike clip mode, sustained notes at the end of a pattern carry over better when they loop/ repeat - although this can be achieved in clip mode with various work around if you prefer working in clip mode exclusively.
