Coming up next for MASCHINE and MASCHINE+

I know perfectly well what can be pressed and how in Machines. These are basic skills... It's about something else. And it's not comparable. Try that functionality in Ableton, Logic, Bitwig, Force... You will understand the huge difference.

I find this an extremely small problem compared to other big and more important ones.

The solution for today is to assign another device as the master and set the bpm on it. Submit for execution in Maschine+. I do it like this. The method has been proven many times. The same thing about PRCH was until I wrote a script to set up PRCH in Maschine+ in stand-alone. Now you can do it in Maschine+ without a computer. I can share... But, BPM remained a problem.

Well, even if I were a single member of a whole band & all I had to do was focus on the Maschine for a gig, I don't know that manually altering tempo would be an elegant solution for genres other than EDM or Hip Hop...which tend to be "solo artist" genres more than "band" genres. I appreciate what this thing -can- do, but the limitations it has are confusing and frustrating at times. My experience with the hardware has largely been positive, in spite of all these criticisms.
If they ever do a Mk2 of the M+, I'd like to see Mouse/Keyboard/Monitor support because "Roland did it in the 90's". I would probably take a bit more inspiration from Valve & make future products user serviceable, complete with product teardown videos and whatnot. A Standalone Maschine that enables users to self-repair, upgrade their memory and storage space, etc. would leave Akai shaking in their boots. I think the company overall needs to shift from selling their ecosystem as a lifestyle brand, to being more about the music and giving working professionals (and hobbyists) more autonomy. Most consumers are beginning to resent the "half finished and also you don't own it/pay us forever" kind of ****** that tech companies keep pulling, and so moving in the complete opposite direction of that will help NI stand out that much more. I would honestly appreciate seeing less "look at this beatmaker play our thing" videos and less sample pack releases. I know how to use a sampler and there are sounds all around me in real life. Maschine already comes with a drum synth that you could theoretically resample endlessly. I want NI to show us that it's a serious company and stop giving in to the industry's current trend of showing people how cool it is to be a DJ or whatever.

Tag me if you have questions like that, the NI forum staff is not that deep into that kind of stuff so to answer they have to go and ask, wait for a reply and come back to you; not very practical.
The filenames have root key info followed by the max velocity, this is enough to be able to map it in Kontakt but not sure if it's enough to fully auto-map with "one-click" via
Zone Auto Mappingwhen you use velocity ranges as Kontakt can use both max and min velocity values from the filenames.I don't think having it super Kontakt optimized in terms of filename was much of a consideration since there are other tools available for that.

I was just coming here to complain about Maschine not having an autosave feature, as I was working on a project in FL using an instance of Maschine when suddenly I couldn't save the project (within Maschine VST), kept getting an error. Usually, everything saves in Maschine when I save the FL project but for some reason when I opened the project back up the next day the Maschine project within was completely empty. Of course I could open it up from when I last saved but I hadn't since I knew Fl would, and I had also did a lot since the last time I save in Maschine so I would have to redo quite a bit. Thank GOD! FL has been autosaving for years, and on top of that I always save my FL projects in drafts, or what FL names it "Save new version"
ABOUT DAMN TIME, NI!
Thanks

So you repeatedly keep saying..............................I think people have noticed.
One day you might realise that there are other people in this world thing, who might not agree with you and don't have to ask your permission to think so. 🙄

It’s also worth mentioning that hosting of VST3 plug-ins inside of MASCHINE is considered a separate topic to loading them into a DAW as a VST3 plug-in target. VST3 plug-ins by Native Instruments can be hosted in MASCHINE, and in 2022 we will work with third-party manufacturers to add support for NKS VST3s.
Hold on. This seems to say that general VST3 plug-in support is not planned at all? That only NKS VST3s will be whitelisted? Please, please tell me that isn't the case!
One of Maschine's greatest strengths is to run any VST2 plug-in in a hardware-like environment. Limiting support to only NI and partners' plug-ins would be a terrible idea. Make VST3 support universal!

Although I agree with your general view and also love to use those Drum Synths, I have to say that they are less versatile compared to the various engines of the Elektron Machinedrum from 2010. Those engines in the M+ would be killer, especially the EFM variants.

Thanks @D-One and duly noted about tagging you

You will be surprised, but this applies primarily to you. There are many people who think like me. To them, your bloated problem is very small. And they see other more important issues.

I really don't know what your problem is, but it's possibly not in your interest to hijack this thread with it.
Everybody has a personal opinion in what they see as the major problems with Maschine. The people that work with it as I do, that had a workflow based on the legacy behaviour, find the new behaviour really slows them down, and can't figure out why it isn't optional behaviour seeing as it was already there, and in theory shouldn't take much in resources. I can't even begin to think how you think constantly expressing how unimportant that is to you, or anyone else, is some kind of solution or helpful in any way.
You have things that are important to you, as we all have (the duplication behaviour is far from being mine and other's main personal bugbear). The difference is, with most people, their mental hygiene isn't in such a bad way that they deludedly think other people are answerable to them.
You can post till the cows come home, but I and the people that work like I do are still going to find the new behaviour problematic. Why you should find that such a problem to yourself defies any kind of logic.
You complain about bloat, but you have taken what was a comment that was 2 lines in a 31 line post expressing a number of issues (so how is that bloated?) and turned it into some kind of bizarre personal crusade, making six posts about it to what end.?
I repeat, people on this board are not answerable to you, there is a world outside yourself. Maybe go and discover it and stop boring the living excrement out of people please.......................

Why all this spam from a bunch of empty words? Because of your spam, important discussions float far up. You have nothing to do?

thanks for the update .
but it is really heartbreaking to see that there is still no automation editing tool, still no aftertouch, impossible to record a pattern performance in song mode...
please the time is getting long😪
