sounds so good. it's like 90s deep garage house.

[@PeterRobotMusic]

I like that description

[@mrmarkcima]

Bro please keep on making these videos. You're giving out good value here and in time you'll get big! i'll be following

[@PeterRobotMusic]

🙏cheers man, will do! Thanks for the input!

[@DanChippendaleMusic]

Just ordered a Mk3 today. This has helped justify my decision. Sounds great. Nice work 👍🏼

[@Jawnson]

This was amazing to watch from start to finish! 🔥🔥

[@fraicheness]

Yoooooooo, absolute fire and beautiful too.

[@Slowgrowrecords]

Such great vibe man, learning so much from your videos 🙌🏼

[@vaudronphilippe5415]

Good vibes and talent! When machines are useful it’s Great !

[@rayderrich]

Very nice video that shows me how I might use my just found Maschine Mk2. Cool jam!

[@michaelheath1194]

You've earned a sub my friend! I need more of this!

[@PeterJoslynHarris]

Damn Peter, that was fantastic! Love the music and that was one of the most clear, skilled and inspiring tutorials for Maschine I've ever seen!

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Hey thanks man!

[@ricksnowden2150]

Keep ‘em coming!

[@fabgroove]

Bravo !! 👏👏👏. J’adore vraiment… Qu’elle maitrîse de la Maschine ! 👍

[@bendenton580]

Wow this is amazing 😍

[@bendenton580]

This loops stuck in my brain bro, keep coming back to satisfy the itch. 🤣🤣🤣 I bought one of these a while ago and didn't get my head round it coming from a DJ background, it's a big learning curve, thanks for inspiring me to get it out and try to get my head around it all.

[@riedingertimothee5324]

Good job nice track 🔥

[@M4RJESS]

This is 🔥🔥🔥

[@DJ_TideWave]

Awesome track! 😊 Love the vibes! Classic 90s house just as I like it! 😊 This video makes me want to buy the Machine mk3. It is just to bad it is not a stand alone unit. Means less portability.

[@Teoteomusik]

Great ideas with the chords!

[@evoprox1]

Can't believe I didn't smash that sub button earlier. For xxxx's sake, keep on making those groovy vids Peter ... viva la machina.

[@mc84music]

Disclosure vibes. Nice work

[@FATBASSTV]

Been djing for 10 years and want to start getting into producing. About to purchase a mk3 myself. I definitely hit that subscribe button! I’m here not only to learn but to see your progression take off🤟

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Appreciate it man, have fun! These things are great to play on

[@aidenbull_]

So cool

[@nyte_vs_nyte]

Just subscribed to your channel because of this vid!

[@pocketrocket27]

Dude, you’re like my new answer to the question, “who would you strive to be more like in your life.” You just put together the grooviest, complex sounding, but explained simply how you made it, bop. It honestly puts over half the the currently popular deep house artists to shame. I use deep house kinda as a blanket term from like garage house to 90s classic to whatever type of house dirtybird is… I don’t know anymore with the sun genres everyone has a different definition lol. But keep killin it please! ❤

[@PeterRobotMusic]

That's a massive compliment, thanks! Yeah everyone has a different definition of sub genres, I'm always kind of taking a broad stab when I label my videos, then sometimes I look back later and I'm like "jk, that's not deep tech." These will definitely keep coming out, stay tuned. Cheers man!

[@willhurford4906]

Needs to be released this wow

Yeah thats right you modulate that cutoff

[@PeterRobotMusic]

ohh yeaahh

[@Chrisrom4172]

fucking nice work bro

[@m-fee4359]

amazing brother. keep em coming! question. its not stand alone right? you're connected to a computer correct?

[@retron2738]

Whats missing here is basically how you structure your song in the hardware. Which sound on which Group/scene/pattern whatever. Thats what iam missing for tutorial reasons.

[@PeterRobotMusic]

The broad strokes is that I put each main element in it's own group - in this case brass synth in A, arp in B, bass in C, tops in D, drums in E, and vox in G. Then in each group, I'll put different variations of the element in different banks - for example, group A has 4 different variants of the brass synth in banks 1-4. Or were you referring more towards arrangement in a linear sense?

[@retron2738]

@@PeterRobotMusic Cool ... you answered! Thanks for this ... I feel like I'm missing a bit of the workflow towards an arrangement that I can export without "scenes, patterns, groups, etc." getting in the way, because I may not understand them. Your video, in the end, is a complete arrangement. But maybe my limitations are to big for now to understand whats between your cuts. But anyway ... maybe a special question which can help other, too ... is there a way to play patterns ans scenes on beat / sync to the playing pattern?

[@PeterRobotMusic]

@@retron2738 Ok, I see. There are a few things to say here. At the end of my video, I am triggering each scene in real time, so the arrangement itself is not committed to the grid for export, rather I'm just triggering the scenes into a live arrangement for the video. To answer your question - in order to do this, yes, you can set the Maschine to play the scenes on the beat. Hit Shift + Grid to access the grid page, select "perform" and set it to "1 Bar". This will set Maschine to change to the next scene that you hit only after the current bar has finished playing; this is what I do. You can also set it to change after 1/2 note, quarter, etc. As far as creating an arrangement in the arrangement view that you can export, that's a whole other can of worms. It's one of maschine's least intuitive features. I think I'm going to make a full video on that since people ask about it a lot. In the meantime there are a couple decent tutorials on on YT that can help if you search for it.

[@retron2738]

@@PeterRobotMusic Looks like my answer was not saved. So i repeat ... Thanks for this information ... really helps -> subscribed 🙂

[@bereal1251]

great video my only wish is someone can do this with the mikro mk3

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Thanks! I haven't used the Micro but I bet you can get pretty close

[@he-man-music]

You are killing it man! Do you provide 1 on 1 tutorials or something as well?

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Yo, thanks so much for the feedback! I haven't gotten into any 1 on 1 lessons but I definitely plan on getting into teaching directly a little later in the future. Still learning a lot myself.

[@he-man-music]

@@PeterRobotMusic hope to meet you in that little later

[@SebCrateDigger]

Your piece and video are really good. I really like it. Now, could you tell me the difference between the Maschine MK3 and the Plus? Thanks to you.

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Thanks! I haven't used the Maschine Plus, but my understanding is that it's basically the same as the MK3, except that it's self contained hardware, whereas the MK3 has to be connected to your PC and runs the software from your PC.

[@krimsonfunk]

Great track… do you mind telling me what sample you used for the bass, is it from any particular collection ?

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Sure. It's actually a Massive preset called Dry n Wet.

[@matthewwilson3673]

does the mk3 come with a daw to record into? pretty unfamiliar with maschine workflow

[@PeterRobotMusic]

It does. Maschine is a DAW, and the MK3 brings it to life, so it's like a DAW/hardware hybrid.

[@krklivestudio3033]

Hello very nice track :), Where are loops/samples from?

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Thank you! Mostly Splice

[@timr.9952]

Hello :) I’m new in. Where can get the vocals ?

[@PeterRobotMusic]

I currently get all my vocals from Splice

[@mrboostification]

This or the mpc one ? Cant decide. My genre is house

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Maschine is very good for house. But I've never used an mpc one

[@derekrodrigues3419]

Sounds very Kerri Chandler-esque!

[@salvatoremassafra2913]

Ciao in che espansioni si trovano questi suoni? Grazie mille

[@PeterRobotMusic]

No expansion, just individual sounds. Chords and synth are Retro Machines - Chroma Brass 1, the bass is Massive - Dry n Wet, and the vox and drums are samples I picked up from Splice.

[@salvatoremassafra2913]

Please upload to Soundcloud! Or are you still tinkering around with this one? 😊

[@PeterRobotMusic]

I will in not too long! I have it on my short list to finish & upload this and a few other YT tracks. Preoccupied by a separate EP I'm working on right now that I should have out in a month or so :)

[@fraicheness]

@@PeterRobotMusic Great! Looking forward to it! A lot of music that I'm currently listening to is made by KZbin producers/teachers. I just got a Maschine, partially because of you. Do you have any tips on how to learn it? Courses, Resources etc?

[@PeterRobotMusic]

@@fraicheness Oh cool man! I do have a great resource for sure. Adsrsounds.com has a thorough guide for learning the MK3. On top of that, they have a multitude of production, software, mixing and theory courses as well. I've upped my game a lot the last year taking their courses. I recommend them regularly.

[@fraicheness]

@@PeterRobotMusic Thank you so much!
