MASCHINE 2.12 - Introducing Clips | Native Instruments

In this new update of MASCHINE we are introducing Clips. Clips unlock new ways of working with the Song Mode in MASCHINE and allow you to record MIDI and Modulation directly and anywhere on the timeline. You can also use Clips to augment and alter your existing Scenes and Patterns to bring more liveliness and variation to your arrangement.
Clips can be used all by themselves, similar to a traditional DAW workflow, or as an extension of the existing Pattern and Scene workflows.
We have created an addendum to the MASCHINE manual, to provide you more details and information on how to use it and hope you enjoy this new and free update to the MASCHINE software.
You can find the PDF in the manuals section of our website:

Waited 12 years for this.

[@EliteOnTheBeat]

Been waiting half a decade myself.

[@EliteOnTheBeat]

@DJ Instrumental Jay THANK YOU for this comment Been wondering why my maschine studio has been acting so weird. I can't lie Maschine studio is by far the best controller that NI has ever put out even over the new Maschine+. But once Mk3 was released slowly but surely my Maschine studio has bugs or had to push 2 buttons instead of normally just pushing 1 button. Kinda like the fucking browse issue. SMH. I take it as a spit in the face that they downgrade my maschine studio to upgrade the firmware for the mk3 thats just BS. One things for certain a Maschine studio standlone with touch screens will be released soon and WAY before maschine 3. And i'm sure they'll released 10 more controllers after the new maschine studio is released and will still be waiting for maschine 3 to see the light of day.....................

[@cedarbloc11]

i said 7 years lmao...

[@VivaciousNY]

Deepest thank you Native Instrument Maschine Family. Thank you Kai, Iva and family for getting this done. As a true fan and user of Maschine and all your products, we waited patiently for you to bring this to life, we truly thank you. Now let's make some music

[@0c3An50uL]

FINALY!!!!! THIS was the one thing that i really hated about the maschine workflow. Thank you!

[@Netsuko]

Probably one of the biggest quality of life change in recent versions of Maschine. All the little extra features are nice, but this seems like it should have been one of the basics from the start. Good to see this feature added.

[@tgoodjenkins]

Yeah i know this is why people shit on the sequencer. I was still able to make it work. Sometimes I had 16 bar patterns with only stuff on the last few bars. It was a pain but us heads will always find a way. This is going to save so much time

[@GodzillaGoesGaga]

All they need now is Time Signature Changes. NI Pay attention. Every other DAW has this capability.

[@XDosShane]

👈 Maschine user who's not here to complain but celebrate this massive win

[@arzeb666]

me too dude! merry christmas man lol

[@PaulStephenson003]

I was just complaining about this when Maschine+ dropped. I'm pumped to try this out and see how much closer (maybe all the way) to producing a full track in Maschine it has come. I notice it's not v3, so I'm curious what the plans are for v3 with this coming out now. :)

[@leoopokat8235]

We would be winning if the maschine was affordable but nawww

[@DopamineOverload]

@@leoopokat8235 MK3 still is... a used Studio, hell yeah. But Maschine+... yes. I would agree.

[@marclemar]

@@leoopokat8235 Bro I paid 1200 for the studio and it didnt offer nearly as much... and this was in 2014 or 2015

[@strawboybeats3970]

It's just great to see NI listening. Such a wonderful step in the right direction that there's no need to be anything but excited for.

[@ShelLuser]

This is a very impressive update in my opinion... Live has had its clips every since they started (hence so many buttons on my Push, lol!), Reason once introduced 'blocks' but this method really takes the biscuit by combining several (optional!) workflows into one. And all accessible from the Mk3? I'm a fan! Note that I'm not saying one is better than the other, but this does look a lot more flexible to me, also because you can do everything from behind the hardware.

[@TheIncredibleDrNO]

I'm sorry but this is MORE important than The Maschine+

[@ZX-6R]

way more!

[@Coronaboii88]

Facts!

[@seanrimada8571]

The Incredible Dr.NO! Facts

[@mackie32x4]

This should have been from jump!!!

[@stansteez]

It was a necessity to be able to use Maschine+ as standalone. We waited 10+ years for this feature...

[@KennyStetson101]

Thank you! It took NI waaaaay to long to get here but here we are finally. I hope that this is a new start for NI and that we carry on seeing more of a focus on building a solid daw moving forward.

[@VincentCorver]

Gosh, I waited 5 years for this, and now it's finally here! Thank you NATIVE!

[@JamalPennant]

finally!!! Just need the automation sorted so that we can create smooth curves

[@TheVsMusicGroup]

And to able to turn the automations parameters off when it resets. Cos when I add an affect that piece of audio changes in sound slightly even if your tune the mix all the way down to zero on that plugin

[@carlmcdonald7228]

Automation is there..? Recently been unable to see the automation display though, which makes it tough to adjust if you don't get it it right the 1st time. Just noticed this a couple weeks ago. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@EliteOnTheBeat]

@@TheVsMusicGroup FACTS! Especially if your using a Performance Fx on the group channel. SMH. Which how much longer before we can just simply add that effect to single tracks instead of an entire damn group? Hopefully we will all see Maschine 3 before......................................................................................................................................2023? 🤷‍♂️🤣

[@VincentCorver]

@@EliteOnTheBeat Yes, I so agree with this!

[@jayrillabeats2059]

I wish that I can bounce perform fx as a single track and not a group stem

[@xhy20x]

Probably the best Maschine update ever!

[@Jehudi]

Maschine is turning into the gem it is! Soon I will not need another DAW to "finish" my tracks! :) Keep up the good work! Kudos to the Maschine Team!

[@lorendigiorgi]

Thank you NI! I've always loved Maschine's workflow with scenes, and this capability now adds some wonderful icing to the cake.

[@ZacBarnesMusic]

The is a HUGE update. Excited. Definitely a game changer.

[@richhewes]

Thanks so much NI. This is going to make a massive difference to my workflow! ☺️

[@LouisOrlando90]

Finally! Have had maschine since Christmas time but only used a few times because the workflow was KILLING my process! I can finally get in and enjoy using maschine!

[@nikko444]

NI, Thank you for that update! Thank you to the moon and back! Now my workflow is exclusively Maschine all the way to mastering part! Great job!

[@themrworldwide]

Finally, @NI I'm really happy because of this new update, and I really hope you guys continue to improve the software so that can become a full DAW, Thank you.

[@michaelmecha5231]

Thts creepy I was just saying to myself last night that if only native would realise an update for this problem and here it is today. Thank you so much native instruments you have brung light into my world. Much love peace 💞

[@Nicholas_PA]

New Management is already off to a great start!! Thank you 🎵

[@seanrimada8571]

Finally. Getting a groove and “not being on the one” was a big killer for me. Having the possibility of nudging te pattern without this limitation will get me back to Maschine. Focused on Ableton for this one limitation but the packs on maschine and the plugin workflow is great on this software!!

[@cedarbloc11]

yall knew damn well 7 years ago we needed this lmfao... seriously.. i know its not an easy task to develop but making maschine software a dedicated DAW was or is a no brainer... this feature was missing in workflow so bad... tracking out into a daw isnt horrible, but close....keep them coming tho..

[@BassBajo]

You guys knocked it out of the ballpark with this update!

[@richardayres7224]

Thank you! I was about to give up up on maschine but this solves it all for me.

[@klaytonvonkluge4905]

This is game changing for me, I wish I would have known or saw this a year ago! Thank you

[@Rivelan]

Thank you so much, NI, Kai, Team Maschine. I counted myself among the doubters TBH and thought I'd never see the day. So happy to be proven wrong.🔥🔥🔥 Congrats you guys! This is a huge deal.

[@monochet]

This is good. We’re getting there. Next should be automation curves and being able to automate across patterns or scenes.

[@brenmac]

I totally agree, I tend to get pretty frustrated when automating thru out the track

[@davidbeckett5244]

You can allready. Create a new group and treat it like a buss track. Set the group you want to automate to play through your new group. Apply fx to the group channel an automate freely across your song. I agree though. Not very user friendly when your in the midst of creativity.

[@brenmac]

@@davidbeckett5244 i'm finding that in arranger mode, even when i automate fx on a group when I automate from one pattern to another, half the time my fx settings will zero out on the start of the next pattern. any ideas? i think it has to do with the order of the patterns in ideas mode

[@davidbeckett5244]

@@brenmac correct. I've had to create blank patterns first, and place as many as you need depending on legnth of your automation. Then start song at beginning and apply automation. This was before the clips update so unsure if it's different now.

[@Polyh3dron]

Oh that still is a limitation? Yeah not coming back to Maschine any time soon. I'll take the MPC software's limitations over Maschine's any day.

[@stoikerty]

After years and years it's finally here!! Exciting!

workflow enhancement i've waiting years for. thank you, finally!

[@VadimGuitar]

This brought a tear to my eye

[@Yuusou.]

FINALLY! I have waited for this since I started making some music with Maschine back in 2017. I tried to mangle around with the VSTi integration into Cubase which generally worked, but the workflow wasn't really appealing to me. The love runs deep for the tight integration of hardware and software with the Maschine ecosystem, hence I never ever considered selling my Maschine MK2. I have to give it a try now!

[@MefliRecords]

Finally! I've been waiting for this feature since 2013!

[@MannyfromdaD]

This is simply great. Sweet beat too. I was head nodding through the whole thing.

[@MsInstrumentalBeatz]

Yesss!! This is great. Can’t wait to start using my Maschine more often vs. mainly using Logic for production.

[@Mikestro407]

The sequencer was always a vibe killer but after seeing this I'm bringing back out the Machine from the attic. Make better automation on the next update and this will be my go-to DAW

[@lowlowseesee]

i loved the sequencer already but I know people who dont so congrats ahahah and this is way doper for real

[@KompleteTutorials]

Great. Another step to perfection. Now please hurry with the other updates!

[@FlatTire]

The more I learn about this software, more I like it and I had it for over a year since I bought my KKontrol S61 but never bothered to dig into it since I use Studio One and Cubase, but there is something about Maschine layout that is creatively more inspiring in music creating sense. Even though my DAWs are more powerfull, it’s easy to get lost in the timeline clutter... Now, it’s awesome that once you get something done in Maschine, you can pull it into your DAW either as audio or midi and do the final processing there... Peace ☮️

[@phopho3209]

Ohhh one of the best add ever for Maschine !!!! Great !!!

[@RiDM_Studio]

Clips are messing up my project. Why doesn't it just say 'change to pattern' when I right click a clip? My project is making clips by itself all of the sudden and I have no clue how to get rid of them. I just want patterns. How do I change it back to a pattern!?

[@ChefChrys]

Yes! This is the update I’ve been waiting for.

[@thekabirjamatia]

Looking forward for the Update to Reach INDIA ! Thank you NI !! This was a loooong time coming !!

[@morrisrjc]

This is exactly what’s been missing. Thanks NI

[@creativedwill]

This is what I've been waiting for!! Honestly NI you all can remove Patterns and Just go with Clips. It's super confusing to have to switch between the two when they do the same thing, but with way more flexibility with Clips. Or at least give me the options to Turn Patterns off lol. We don't need them

[@gregbeatsmusic]

So excited to dive into this tonight. Great update!

I literally just got my Maschine Mk3 yesterday and was wondering how I could edit patterns to have variations without affecting those patterns in the rest of the song. I was so frustrated by this I was thinking about selling it immediately. Now today, I find this. More proof of the simulation.

[@lowlowseesee]

damn yo you gave up quick ahahah immediately ahahah. kill it

[@2ndAveScents]

lowlowseesee lmao it crossed my mind! I ended up buying a Jam to go with it

[@MacReviewzOnline]

you can do that for years , lol. No need for clips - you can choose making them Unique or Copies.
