Maschine 2.0 - Using Patterns and Scenes - How to Tutorial

[@darrenthebarber5261]

I've been trying to do this for ages. Sometimes things are so simple, that you don't see them. But thank you for understanding that complete novices, or people like me that are are coming from a previous DAW (but still a novice, hahaha!) NEED videos like this that explain things in the simplest terms. You Sir, are indeed a legend. Greetings and thanks from The UK!!!!

[@ralekyng]

Thank you for this tutorial, most tutorials are based on selling the product instead of actually teaching even when they say its a beginners tutorial and I like how based in accuracy your video is.

[@kristophergreen4609]

Thank you very much. Im coming from working years within FL Studio and editing patterns were as simple as copying and editing whatever part you wanted to within the playlist. This was exactly what i was looking for. Thank you very much.

[@khole15]

how easy it would be if we could just move the scenes around with the mouse (+ right click copy paste etc..) what were they thinking?

[@adictiveadictive]

+Lars Løfter i know, i fuckin hate it!!!

[@MusicTechnologyResearch]

the controller is meant to do that

[@TheDanielShepherd]

Finally someone that explains Maschine from the point of view of people who've spent years working in other sequencers (Logic for me) and can't understand why the scene/pattern is so un logical and hard to grasp. I'm assuming that its based on how the Akai MPC works which is where the hip hop guys find it intuitive and all us electronic guys are scratching our heads. I only wanted to get a grasp on it for sketching anyway as the scene arranged is far too basic for my workflow but its great for getting ideas down - fortunately Maschine 2 integrates very well into Logic Pro X and I can set it up and use all of Logics vastly superior arrangement options for actually making a complex highly edited track.

[@Adsrsounds]

Hey thanks for the comment - I too was confounded by Maschine's layout at first (coming from Ableton for me).

[@blackcoffee6018]

One tip that isn't mentioned here: When you are recording a longer melody (or drum section) you can create a bunch of empty scenes and mark them all (so they play in a loop). If you now hit record, Maschine records the whole sequence you play, creating one 1-Bar-Pattern per scene. That way you don't have to worry about adding a drum-break in the last Bar at some point (since you can change that Pattern without touching the other Patterns).

[@daveyfgn]

They made it soooo much more complicated than it used to be

[@foobeats]

Dude, if you simply duplicate the scene via hardware or with right click on scene it creates new patterns with the same content. It's easier and faster.

[@dwaynemusik]

i swear learning this is hard

[@FactsZilla4]

@J Ru everything wil be hard to learn until you get the ahhaaa. Moment💪🏼

[@bhmusic76]

Thanks for the 'non-hip-hop' explanation. Helps a lot!

[@Adsrsounds]

Bryan Heath No problem

[@user-ui3zh7ok7y]

cause he sounds pretty thug right

[@maximusleonte1]

rotf lmao

[@PoonManAlbanyNY]

is there a way to highlight 4 scenes at a time, then copy and paste them?? it takes forever to copy and paste each scene seperate.

[@MerlinErdogmus]

I like how you just showed everything visually and used 100% your mouse. MASCHINE is a piece of hardware designed to be controlled completly by the sampler.

[@DejurePhil]

Thanks for the tutorials. Very helpful. Is there a way to take a section of a scene and use it to replace a section of another scene. Ex. I'd like to use the last 1/4 of scene 2 to replace the 2nd 1/4 of scene 1

[@FRESHL1887]

How can you copy and paste multiple scenes at the same time? For example pick Scene 1,2,3 and 4 copy those 4 Scenes and paste them at the end of the arrangement?

[@ronaldbradshaw7379]

This was a good tutorial as I am a beginner. I was able to follow along. For "Right out of the Box" beginners, they should have videos labeled Beginner 1, 2, 3 etc. This button does this and that for both the Hardware and software.

[@brodyx2592]

Quick q: I have a maschine 1.8, how do I select only a part of a patter? for example I have a 32 bar pattern and i only want to listen to the last 8 bars without having to go back to the start and play through all again..

[@dwaynemusik]

im so used to working in a liniar mode in reason cubase or ableton and yea i tried the copy and paste thing in the beginning broke my heart!

[@mufcmusic8514]

Hi, on my M+ I have a pattern in which I've duplicated and added a low pass filter on, when I select that pattern for my 2nd Scene it affects the original also, how can I have it so I have 2 patterns in 1 group in which 1 has low pass and other has high pass please?

[@imanibathe]

what if you don't like the way it loops or if it sounds off. I have this beat i dont wanna let go of but i cant get the pattern to end right

[@kdencethedocc9494]

Thanks for the video, this is what I was looking for. However, I am still having a problem. Each time I try this the Maschine not creating a new pattern. Instead, it's simply duplicating and I can't make unique edits to the new patterns/scenes. I went to the hardware (As suggested in other tutorials) I press Scene /Duplicate buttons I do't have a "+ Pattern" Option to click. I only have an option there that says "link". Any suggestions on how to correct this?

[@justinneumann1492]

Hey mate im trying to work on drum breaks at the moment. i load a break on sound 1 and a break on sound 2 i then slice up the first break and load the midi to pattern1 i then slice up the second break but it deletes the midi data from break 1. I can achieve this by loading breaks to separate groups but it makes it much easier for arranging if they are on the same page

[@funkytransport]

why aren't you using the hardware?

[@justinmills851]

what if i dont want group 1 to match the longest pattern in another group?

[@r33lism]

this reminds me of when you learn to drive stick for the first time... one dosen't understand the concept and how easy it is until they get in the drivers seat and take it for a spin. you cant see it because he's using the mouse but the easiest way to do this is to hit the pattern button on the controller (hold it down) and you can go into any pattern as well as create a new pattern with a tap of any pad and create the sequence there (be in step mode for this part).. super easy' you can as everyone wants to copy the entire complete pattern and paste into each pattern as i described removing tracks to create different sequences. you can create many patterns in seconds... yes i hated the interface at first but after using it for a while you figure out the short cuts... just keep asking yourself the right questions 'how do i? and you'll get there... eventually' ;)

[@RickDrift]

so how come on group 2, out of nowhere it will only let me and pattern 1s even though im trying to add pattern 2?this happens to me randomly and its ungodly annoying when I don't know the most miniscual hotkey/setting that pretty much fucks the rest of my projectEDIT: that pattern window he opened in the beginning allowed me to switch it but if anyone knows and more convient fix that would be wonderful to know

[@milesbartlett2102]

hey man machine 2.0 all of the sudden won't let me manually click in the patterns i want. i just loaded a new sample pack i don't know if that messed it up. any ideas?

[@MadmanAcrossTheWater]

I'm having an issue where i can't control the volume levels of individual sounds. When i turn down the levels, say, for JUST a hi-hat, the entire group volume turns down. Do you have any tutorials that show how the software settings should be so i can get control back of individual level controls? This is all in Maschine 2 with an MK2.

[@stephvarga9920]

+MadmanAcrossTheWater On your controller, press select. On the right screen of your controller, you should see a top set of menu options, one of them should say "None". Press the button above it. You can now adjust individual levels.

[@trackmusic252]

Why couldn't it have cubase work flow.

[@johncarloscorrea]

How can I include all seens if I am trying to export the project as an audio file (Wav) ?

[@LMFAO2305]

Good Tutorial, I really learned more than before :D

[@PoonManAlbanyNY]

whats a quick way to copy and paste scenes that doesnt take forever..what holds me back is..there is no timer so i never know how long the song is..and it takes ages to copy and paste every single one.

[@brodynoq]

how do i put effects on one scene only . like say you want to open the song with a flanger on your main riff.

[@mxo1210]

Are you on a pc or mac? Is it the same steps on a mac?

[@Bigbootiemike]

Can anybody tell me how to save samples? I slice up a song with samples on each square, then when I disconnect my Maschine and reconnect it later I have to do everything all over again. I've tried to "save project with samples" but it still starts me back out from square one.

[@shadrachsolomon]

According to this video we dont need the Maschine hardware is it?

[@RickNuthman]

Very basic question: How do you make it go from scene to scene when playing, instead of looping the same scene, and vice versa? When I play scene one it just keeps looping instead of continuing on to scene two.

[@Adsrsounds]

You can click and drag on the area directly below the space that says "SCENE 1, SCENE 2, etc." and draw the points you want to loop. I believe selecting a scene sets the loops points to begin and end with that scene.

[@finnh6637]

+Rick Nuthman From the hardware hold the SCENE button then highlight the scenes you want to play by pressing the pads relating to those scenes. If you press scene 1 pad and scene 4 pad at the same time it will select scene 1+2+3+4 and play them all the way through before starting again, hope this helps

[@fmcSOULMAZ]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@timothyyi8330]

how do you duplicate a pattern but alter the sound without altering the original?

[@finnh6637]

+Timothy Yi you can load an FX to any empty pad and then send audio from a group/sound to that effect, then adjust the dry/wet knob on the fx. my battery is about to die but if you want me to go into further detail please reply

[@PoeticJ21]

+Timothy Yi this is what I'm having trouble with

[@bigboyvit]

How do you copy and paste keys from Group x into Group x I mean transferring same notes into another group It can only be done in the same group.

[@MichaelKing-ny9pg]

Highlight the notes you want to transfer. Hit Ctrl C or Cmd C while the notes are highlighted. Go to the group you want to paste the notes and press Ctrl V or Cmd V. Those are your shortcuts for copy and paste.

[@bigboyvit]

Cheers bruh it worked!

[@noodles4921]

Simply amazing ty so much I recommend subscribing to anyone

[@Rapgenius123]

i have a problem how do i know how long my project is beccause on other softwares like reason and garage band it tells you how many minutes the project is and on mashine it doesnt tell you it just gives you seconds

[@Adsrsounds]

cool as me you can find the number of minutes using the number of seconds, pretty easily.

[@Rapgenius123]

lol yeah i figured it out my bad thank you !

[@iamchachi448]

cool as me Ahhh, 60 secs is a min etc etc etc

[@sirens5571]

Okay I was so lost I didn't even know how to change the view of the pattern and scene mode. When I looked at my screen the pattern one was under scene 1 and as I added parts it would go scene 2 scene 3 and so on. Then I found that little button next to it and basically knew everything I needed to as soon as I found that

[@ronaldbradshaw7379]

Error Message: "Could not load on or more plugins"

[@walt9427]

Thanks for making this video!

[@tonycarpenter-Makzimia]

Thank you, clear and concise!.

[@MrScottGlasel]

How do we link scenes to create a song?

[@Adsrsounds]

Scott Glasel you can play several scenes in succession by setting the loop area in the interface directly beneath the area where you can add scenes or set the active scene (the numbers beneath the area that says, scene 1, scene 2, etc.).

[@omezabeatz]

Great info Maschine Brother

[@musictech5789]

bro, how do i get this shit from pre-loading a pattern everytime I load a kit?

[@razzonnatornoisemaker9444]

All I want to know is how do you put one different pattern next to another pattern in the SAME SCENE!! I have yet to see someone explain me this!!!!!

[@anonymoususer8046]

Maaan thanks so much for the videos broski 😎

[@Romofaithsmile25]

Thank you for this!

[@lastnamestitt]

You could have just right clicked the scene and clicked duplicate and the whole scene would have been duplicated...also you can set maschine to create new patterns when you duplicate the scene so that you can make changes to the new scene without affecting the scene you duplicate

[@Likeatruck]

When pull up the scene I don't get any pattern just different drums loaded in the sounds and when I press play I just here the metronome - so far I am not impressed - they least they could do was provide a manual. Everytime I seek help the answer seems to be go on youtube well I'm here and it still doesn't work - I would think twice before buying this maschine!

[@davidokiwido]

Thanks !

[@Likeatruck]

You neglect to say that you should have pattern highlighted on the bottom of the page that's why I couldn't get it to work - duh

[@wesbo4]

thank you so much

[@alexfinale2542]

I understand the complaints everyone has, but you are approaching Maschine from a wrong assumption, Maschine is not a DAW, it was created as competition to the MPC, MPD grooveboxes and controllers, it has a similar workflow to those products, so the comparison is flawed, you can use it as a plugin inside your favorite DAW, but it is not a DAW. I too am learning and getting used to Maschine's workflow, but it I am enjoying it instead of being frustrated, cause I look at it from that perspective, it would be exactly the same working with the awesome MPC. Cheers.

[@versatilestylegamers3874]

Can’t even change patterns

[@Port194]

I just bought Maschine and so far I can't stand it. I came from FL Studio. In my opinion FL is a lot easier to work with. I legit had to look up a tutorial just like everyone else here to learn how to add a different pattern in Maschine. To me thats crazy. I was really excited to use Maschine too. Now I just get annoyed any time I try to make something.

[@KashiwaDaisuke]

Agreed, the scene/pattern system is dumb. Fortunately Maschine has amazing sounds and hardware quality, otherwise I would've dumped it a long time ago

[@ohcamillesnow]

Same :/

[@iamchachi448]

John Smith OMG FL is so boring and looks like it's a old Nintendo game

[@JEFFMAN90]

For me Maschine is easier to use but to arrange tracks in it can be a bitch lol

[@griffinmusicinc]

lmao. Agreed! FL is for beginners with no patience. The big boys use NI products, Heavyocity, Output, etc etc. FL Studio?..... laughable

[@MarcadamiaNut]

salamander annagram? >.>

[@obshaky]

That particular detail of changing pattern will change ALL patterns is simply infuriating and unintuitive. I hope NI rethinks and adds a second way to do stuff.

[@mikemajewski8656]

whtched whole vid only useful info was ctrl z undo

[@chezchezchezchez]

"Unfortunately, when you edit pattern 1, it changes all Pattern 1s" Really? Unfortunate?? Wasn't this by design? lol

[@Adsrsounds]

Jim Cheseborough yes obviously it was designed that way. but it can be quite confusing coming from other software, such as ableton.

[@chezchezchezchez]

A better way to say it is: "They do things a little different from what I've experienced with other software packages." The word "unfortunately" makes it sound as if Native Instruments has a bug they need to fix.

[@lastnamestitt]

Travis Stitt This video explains how to duplicate scenes with NEW patterns so that you can make changes to the new patterns without affecting the old patterns

[@obshaky]

+Jim Cheseborough 'Unfortunately' actually fits the bill perfectly.

[@vincentcambier]

Man , i'm coming from fl studio to machine.. it's soo fucking hard to switch. Are their people who can give me some motivation? 😅

[@AreTeeKay]

I always wanted one of these until I bought it. The workflow is fucking impossible...

[@D-Clips]

Why the hell are you using a mouse??? That's what maschine is all about, most functions are on the hardware!

[@greymuzik]

i know im not stupid lol but this group scene shit is annoying coming from Reason and FL omg

[@sammyboateng3155]

I gat a big simphTy for those comments below. Becouse to change the Pattern shudtn be that deaficult. It's an easy task that. I have work with logic 4.8 sins 2002 and even that sequencer was able to do this step. I am pissesd little bit. I

[@crakface]

whoever programmed this fucking thing needs to be FIIIIIYERRRRRRRRR'D give him another role this isn't it. why does it have to be so hard to take 4 stupid ass patterns and put them together.
