Browser. Maschine MK3 in Traktor Pro 4
i Hello everyone. My idea is to map the Maschine MK3 in Traktor Pro 4 so that you can control it via the browser. The left display serves as a folder tree, and the right one As a song list. Maybe someone has an idea or even a solution. Or Native Instruments would be so kind and could implement it. Regards

Feature Request: 16 hotcues
I often use hot cues as a kind of on-the-fly sample creation tool. I might lay down six hot cues within a very short span and then kind of use them as one would use samples if you were using a sampler like the SP-404 from Roland and so on. In doing this, I exhaust the eight hot cues quickly. And it's a pity, because I've…

Komplete Kontrol UI Tweaks
Hello! I couldn't find any info on a couple items, so I thought I'd ask in the hopes that someone might know something. Has there been any news about Komplete Kontrol's same-page browser returning? Since it's been implemented in Kontakt, I figured it was coming for KK. Having to flip back and forth from library to UI is a…

Simple Automation Improvement Update 2025
SO! When will we be getting a basic & "easily implementable" update to automation in Maschine, recently spoken about in the latest thread on this topic back in late 2024, such as being able to effect the shape of the curve (exponential or linear) from point A to B? I believe Kai spoke on this in that thread, and said that…

Kontrol S61/S49 MK3 Velocity Response
Is anyone else having issues acclimating to the action of their S61/S49? I'm finding that the black keys have a much hotter velocity output than the white keys, especially when glissing from a black key to a white key with the same finger. I feel this difference and have this issue regardless of the velocity curve setting.…

Feature Request: Programmable "Fixed Velocity" Button on S-Series MK3
Hey everyone, I was wondering if the following would be technically feasible in any future update; I'd love to be able to change the velocity of that "Fixed Velocity" Button to any other value than 127.

It would be great if you could record your own animation patterns in Massive X player
I'm enjoying playing about with Massive X player, but it would be really good if I could save the various moves I make around the XY pad to the animator. If I recall you used to be able to do this in Molekular, so it's a bit of a downgrade not to be able to do it here. Also it's disappointing that you can't do any XY pad…

Animator Range
Hi, just installed the update with the included animator. It's really great but I thought that a range mapper could be great. say you have an animated curve which you like, but you don't want the full area movement a range mapper for x and y would work to minimize the curve and move it in the animation window. X: 0 - 1 and…

Massive X GUI scaling feature request
hi there; Massive X has become one of my go to synthesizers, sometimes I feel like 100% scaling looks small and on the other hand 125% looks so big. It would be great to have the option of having smaller scales such as 110% in the scaling options in the next updates. Or even free scaling (not having a few predefined…

Electric Sunburst Deluxe should completely cut off when the "muted notes" knob is set to short
Whenever I play a muted articulation in Electric Sunburst Deluxe (Melody), when the note is off, the sample still keeps playing. Even turning the "muted notes decay" knob to "short" can only do so much, but not perfectly. However, Electric Mint and Electric Vintage both can completely stop the muted articulation when the…

Transposing on S61 MK3 - WHY IS IT NOT VISIBLE on the LCD!?!

Komplete Kontrol N - plugin scan crash [Feature Request]

Universal Audio happens to put this in the same directory as their VSTs, which causes Komplete…
