Maschine 2.2 update tutorial (arp, scales, chords) - MK2 and Mikro Workflow

[@foto_shot]

As NI Maschine Mikro user I am very glad to have found this tutorial. It is very helpful for me.

[@mvenvee3091]

Dude you taught me more in this video than any other videos on maschine!! Thank you so much.

[@Adsrsounds]

MV Envee Great to hear! THanks

[@ChiTownNekst773]

Wow what a great tutorial. This actually expanded my interest in maschine cause I thought I was just lost couldn't figure out how to use chord mode, or couldn't but this works perfectly! Thanks for the tutorial man

[@Adsrsounds]

Calis Great to hear it!

[@futuregootecks]

This was so amazingly helpful, thanks so much! I feel like I made more progress in 3 minutes than I did in 3 hours lol. You're awesome!!!!

[@Adsrsounds]

Of course no worries!

[@Rbog17]

Wow, another great video. Addicted to this channel.

[@inspirationmediatube]

Great info, I just got my MK2 a few months ago and this video was super helpful in pushing my music forward. thank you

[@NYClifeguy]

thank you for making it so easy for the world to learn this man!

[@rogueoperative1547]

Wow, I didn't know my Maschine could do that. This will help me out a lot, in making music. Thank you.

[@Adsrsounds]

RogueOperative No problem

[@mhazani]

Great video, thanks! I feel all caught up with 2.2- which is such a game changer in terms of melodic live performance! Anybody who came to Maschine from a musician background just uttered a sigh of relief:)

[@mhazani]

Also, one thing worth mentioning is that with the SEMI- and + buttons you can change your root notes to whatever pitch you want, based on your scale, etc. I think I'm going to hang around in fixed C but it's a useful trick:)

[@Adsrsounds]

mhazani Oh cool, thanks for the heads-up!

[@tri.obytemusic7295]

Very inspirational! I just updated to Komplete 10 and the latest maschine update and it's phenomenal. Maschine is very musical and useful for both production and performance. I find the pads to be a joy to play including that they're velocity sensitive. Just starting to use this so I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all :)

[@EveRbLssD]

A perfect overview and explanation! Great job.

[@Adsrsounds]

EveRbLssD Thank you for the support, I'm glad to hear it was helpful!

[@petelittle]

Thanks for making these videos. They're very helpful.

[@jeevespreston]

Brilliant and informative as always!!! Thanks!!!

[@King-Vis]

Very good tutorial.

[@dylannutter9223]

this changes everything.

[@mattjohnson6303]

Dude I've had this thing for years and I never noticed the note repeat optionnnn uhhh thank youuuu

[@chri5_dj]

Nice video!! am about to fire up my mk2 and get those arpegios going

[@halo108]

Great video thanks, your videos have really helped me get batter at maschine.

[@Adsrsounds]

halo108 Glad to hear it!

[@NickFromNetherlands]

Explained very well. Thanks

[@HiggsMusicOfficial]

Suuuuper helpful!

[@felixpersson9154]

Thank you very much! Great tutorial. Always well explained and professional. Keep the good work up :) // Felix Persson

[@Adsrsounds]

Felix Persson Thanks for the support!

[@flyingboyj3]

Thanks for the vid! Do you know if you can you create your own chords or at least arrange the existing presets to build a new set of chords?

[@mathuraw__]

Great videos thank you very much 👍🏾

[@zeus1117]

Nice ! So no ARP for mono-synths?

[@wolf34drevon]

Thanks for your videos ! Finally, I wonder if the little Maschine models are not more useful than the "big" studio version which looks attractive but if we are used to check and edit with the mouse on the computer screen, it seems that MiKro and MK2 are more practical (for dimensions and just for relay functions on the hardware). Most videos are focused on the hardware but do the Maschine sequencer software is not explicit enough to work with (except for the lack of info for these new scale and chord features) ?? ADSR : Don't you plan to go with the Studio ?

[@Adsrsounds]

wolf34drevon Personally, I think one of the main attraction points for Maschine users is the tightly integrated sotware/hardware workflow. It's interesting that you suggest the smaller ones are more practical--most people find the Mikro a bit tedious to use with all the menu digging. However, those complaints are usually from people who want to work only with the hardware! So if you don't mind using the computer as much, the Mikro would be just fine. You can do the quick shortcuts on there as well as playing the pads and then use the mouse and keyboard for other things. The software is fine to work in, I think! Some odd quirks here and there but not bad at all. I have a Studio as well and more videos are coming for that!

[@adamfreiholtz929]

Great video! Would love to see more maschine 2.2 videos.. What synth patch (and what effects) are one 4:40? Thanks, A.

[@Adsrsounds]

Thanks! That was a preset from Massive, I can't remember which one, sorry. No additional effects

[@puzahki]

Thanks, great tute! :)

[@Adsrsounds]

Craig Parry No problem, thanks for watching

[@LEDBOO]

Thanks! Great video for MK2. I'm loving this ugrade. lol

[@Madmohawkfilms]

Do you guys have a tutorial on using Chords in the step sequencer? Is it even possible? I’m running latest version of Maschine software on a Mikro MK3 . Thanks

[@uknowitsbrhodes]

Say you want to play a chord that isn't part of the scale is there any way to incorporate it into the active pads. Example I want to play the chord progression Emaj7 C#Mi F#mi and B9sus4 . however B9sus4 isn't in the scale. is there anyway to do that?

[@realhustler3192]

Hello ! Thank you, the video is super informative. The framing on the drumpad does not show it in full Therefore, I do not see the key on the top left that you press. And also, when I press "Our repeat" it does not offer the same options as you. It's normal ? Did I change a setting? Please help me ! Thank you !

[@spirit4968]

Hello, I have been watching your tutorials for some time and I feel like they are the best I have seen to date. I have contacted tech support countless times about a issue that I feel a lot of users have and I was curious if you had a similar experience. No matter what PC I install Maschine on, the hardware will freeze intermittently. I've sent it back and bought a new one and still had the same problem. I thought maybe if I buy a new lenovo Yoga 900 laptop that would certainly solve the issue which it has not. I'm at a dead road here and I really love Maschine but I don't know who to go to since NI is unaware of this issue. Is there a easy fix? I've done all the troubleshooting they have listed with optimizing audio for PC, disabling internet, changing usb cables, turning off suspend usb settings, plugging into only one usb port. Nothing works. The freeze happens whenever I'm finger drumming. The software continues to run but the hardware will have no response for about 10-15 seconds then it becomes active again. Not sure what the issue is. Can you help? Do you know about this?

[@atrapp25]

If your patch is set to only play one note Just Change the poloymphony to 8 … great videos by the way .. #grindin

[@Adsrsounds]

Trapp Beatz Yeah that will work if you're using the Maschine sampler but if you're using a VST you'd have to go into some different settings!

[@LucidoBeats]

Thanks for the video. Any idea when the new upgrade of the Maschine is coming out, The MK3?

[@Adsrsounds]

Lucido Beats No idea, sorry! I am looking forward to it, though

[@hammercasual]

Nice tutorial, although the camera angle cropped out 'the button up there' that you pressed.

[@Adsrsounds]

Krafthaus My bad! What time was it at, I'll give some clarification if you need

[@hammercasual]

***** No problem, it was at 1:12 - I can see it clearer on fullscreen. Thanks

[@MrLeewhite336]

can you activate the chord and arp feature from within the software?

[@robot.kareem]

when i go to the pad mode there is no major/minor options. its link grp instead! what's the deal?!

[@andrearce1099]

yooo plz help with this man im having same issue!!!

[@dylannutter9223]

i tried updating to 2.2 twice and installed it. but it still says 2.1.1. any solutions would helps thanks.

[@shaunblackwood9358]

Can you use the arp, scales, chords modes with others, like samples and vst's?

[@Adsrsounds]

Shaun Holmes Yes!

[@tonybarber3535]

thanks for the help

[@Adsrsounds]

Tony Barber No problem !

[@bigtank4997]

On this new 2.2 update can you use the Arp function on your own chord progressions you create?

[@Adsrsounds]

Big Tank Yes, you can play any combination of pads and it will create an arp for those notes

[@Watch272]

Never done this before but I would love to record my own beats & music. I dont even have a studio.

[@clydesta23]

Will these features also work with the original mk1 maschine if update the software to 2.2 ?

[@Adsrsounds]

***** Yes!

[@pqlr8763]

Hi, a quick and naive question here. I'm about to update to 2.2, will it open my 1.8 projects without any changes, or should I expect a few surprises? Cheers.

[@Adsrsounds]

Danny Peculiarbleeps Maschine 2 has an "import Maschine 1.8 file format" function--you'll have to do that for each project I think, but they will transfer over!

[@pqlr8763]

Good to know, thanks!

[@TheAudiofunk]

Hey there, I updated to 2.2 but realised my cat hadn't been updated in ableton live, any idea what that could be? Cheers.

[@Adsrsounds]

TheAudiofunk I'm not sure, but maybe try re-scanning your VST plugin folder? I don't use Maschine as a plugin too often, sorry. Does it run as 2.2 in standalone mode?

[@maddetox]

I'm still working with the first hardware. Will 2.2 work with the first hardware?

[@Adsrsounds]

maddetox Yep!

[@weswizkid1657]

How do I change the key?

[@geluix69]

Great, video . But your going a little to fast in some parts , my MK1 doesn't have certain feature show up on the screens.

[@thisguy7126]

jean luc Dubinator read the manual

[@geluix69]

+Dey Knight I did , they don't mention anything about the mk1 with maschine 2.

[@lightlysaltedsessions1679]

can you use the 2.2 update with the Maschine MK1?

[@Adsrsounds]

derrick wayne Yes

[@markr6070]

How is this done on the mikro mk2? I literally cannot find it.

[@Adsrsounds]

Mark Ruddock It's at the end of this video - 9:15

[@MrWigglezify]

on my maschine micro there is no control button so i have no idea how i should work

[@Adsrsounds]

Herr Wackler What are you trying to do?

[@Deadstock618]

how do i update to version 2.2? i have the maschine mk 2but says im in version 1.8

[@Adsrsounds]

Tre Vision Updating from 1.8 is a paid upgrade

[@zthescientist]

ADSR Music Production Tutorials where do I find this update? I have mk2 1.8 as well

[@TheAudiofunk]

Sorry, my "vst" had not been updated. Thanks

[@nathanielmckinney2752]

Hey can you redo this video just using the maschine mikro the screen on the nmikro is to bright so i cant see everything your doing on the pad

[@Adsrsounds]

Nathaniel McKinney Yeah, realized that after the fact sorry. I am not going to completely re-do the video but I'll answer your questions! Really it's just the pad mode and then keyboard mode buttons and then the note repeat button. It's pretty easy to find. Let me know if you have any trouble.

[@pistazienglace4899]

and how to do it with the mikro? chords scales....

[@Adsrsounds]

***** It's at the end of the video

[@tonixkomix]

Weird. I do exactly as you, same sound, major, harm, but no harmonies. Its just a single note.

[@PgTrAxX]

Maschine = the ultimate groovebox! it's like Roland MC boxes x 1000 because it's practically unlimited to what computer you have (RAM memory etc). It's even too much. I have Maschine only since late 2011 (MKI) and it was fun for years. After that BIG update (upgrade) a fat year ago i still was drooling around with the basics of Massive and Reaktor! untill i found out a few weeks ago that it came with MONARK, DRUMLAB, RETRO MACHINES, WEST AFRICA.... holy shit..... Too much O_O i can't even imagine if you get the full Komplete package (that's just ridiculous IMO).

[@PgTrAxX]

forgot the actual importance of my message.... ""Maschine is worth the cash at this moment""! (preferably MK1 if you don't like flashy colors) :D

[@CineBrividoProduction]

+Pg TrAxX i just got my maschine mikro with komplete 10.. Too much stuff !! Ahah

[@PgTrAxX]

Too much is even an understatement :D

[@BEATdance19]

how can i download 2.2????? please help

[@Adsrsounds]

Mario Torres Through the NI Service Center application. It should be installed on your computer as a separate program

[@BEATdance19]

Can you walk me through? Haha I really can't figure it out

[@b3at2]

i think its bullshit that all you gota do is press a button and stay locked into scales.. i spent years learning that shit lmao.

[@yanidy]

UGH. TOO MANY BUTTONS TO PRESS.

[@lyndajones1133]

voice pretty much makes me cringe. robot would be better.
