[Survey] Tell us what you think about MASCHINE

Maschine Wishlist (and related)

(Some of my thoughts overall)

Allow user the option to setup the default polyphony to 1 and pad choke to 1 as a default for samples which would greatly appease and facilitate the workflow for the sample chopping community 

After a sample is stretched, when a user attempts to slice (the stretched sample which now fits the tempo of the BPM you’re working in) the sample changes back to the original untouched sample, essentially throwing off the sample chopping workflow.  Please, please, please do something which will allow us to continue to work with and slice the stretched sample!

Allow ARP to be triggered by a midi file which I might want to drag in.

Allow ARP gate and velocity settings to affect the ARP during normal playback and not just while holding the pads/recording. 

While Audio is great, I sometimes feel it’s restrictive.  Allow users to do basic manipulation to an Audio  sample instead of forcing us to change the sample back to sampler to edit.   For example perhaps I might find that I only want to use a portion of the audio sample which is at the end of sample.  We should be allowed to change the start point of the audio sample.  As it is now, every time I hit a pad the sample has to start from the very beginning or I have to put it in gate and wait for the part in the sample which goes against the intention of what I would like to do.  I know the perfect loop would be off, but that’s ok.  In beat making you might discover you only want to bring in a portion of the whole sample (to be used like a stab) anyway rather than the loop. 

Make it easier to loop a sample (in terms of phrase looping) to ensure it’s in perfect sync while telling us the bpm of the loop.  This can be achieved by adding a function which allows us to trigger a pad to continuously play the loop (based on the start and end points set) to ensure it’s in perfect sync while giving us real-time information on the bpm for the loop.   Also allow us to tune up and down the sample and allow the bpm to reflect the new bpm accordingly. Allow us to change the start and and end points until we carve a loop that is in perfect sync to our ears. This should be easier then using tap tempo.  

Revise tagging system to also incorporate key or chord information for sample 

Record automation on maschine controller without having to hold down the automation button (one touch to arm maschine to record automation and one touch to end automation recoding)

Thanks, perhaps I didn’t know Maschine as well as I thought. I appreciate the feedback.

After I stretch a sample in Maschine and then move over to slice mode, the sample (at least for me) reverts back to the unstrecthed sample, throwing everything off. Thus, my comment. I also saw a YouTube video where someone lamented about the same thing. Thus, if you folks say essentially that shouldn’t be, I will have to recheck my steps. Thanks again, cuz i definitely learned something today.

Hey man don’t worry about it. I’ve made an azz of myself many times with Maschine haha. There’s a lot of stuff to remember!

Hi there,

feedback left.

Like often mentioned, my favorite is

the "recording jam into arrangement" feature!

Also great, to have two focus for two controllers!

Useless for me because of an existing audio interface: audio/ aux inputs/ outputs

The "new" software should be backwards compatible!!!!!!

Last but not least: maschine is already great!

Peace to all!

Maschine changed my life because it's my favorite instrument i play , i am recording my performance and later i use those samples , i resample , mix it i release my Music and My main genre is " ambient music" but i like to make/play Techno and House and lately Psy Trance relaing on Resampling using Sampler Start option and i really love making music on Maschine MK3. I record Massive or Massive X modulations snapshot from A to B then i import that sound in to the Sampler. Collaborations are also easy, enjoyable for me on Maschine MK3. Here it is my Project Particle Stream https://open.spotify.com/album/4pFIhgaL41EboFu90I9hwd .and specific Collaboration that is making me happy. I really enjoy how it becomes easy for me to express my feelings and how I'm transferring everything in Music.

If you want to record vocals or anything long that doesn’t fit at best the “bars/looping” workflow, I would suggest you not using the sampler but the audio module. Maybe in combination with clips instead of patterns for when you are arranging

If you're on PC, I have a fix for your 8 minutes of plugin scanning issue.

Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Maschine 2 and move the ScanPluginsApp_x64 file out of there. If you install a new plugin you will need to manually rescan and it will place a new version of this file into the folder again. You would then need to move that as well.
