Maschine 3 is FINALLY Here! Should You Update?

[@thablackkat9905]

You see, Akai wouldn't have alienated their older models that correspond to the software. That's N.I.'s first biggest mistake.

[@DDS825]

It’s about updating the technology, that’s all. Just like iPhones, after so many years, they stop getting the latest updates due to hardware limitations.

One one thing iv been waiting for since maschine 1 is smooth automation. Havin the ability to make a smooth line increasing volume through automation should of been implemented a long time ago. Recording automation though turning dial movements isnt the precision we need. I still love maschine but this is a basic feature in most daws

Do they have option to hear notes if making arpeggio or chord? Or only drums? Can you limit piano roll to example c major like in ableton? So you don´t see other keys. Or can you see chords from keys track on violin track so you can place notes like same. Sorry can´t explain but all those are standards in other daws

Yes, you can preview the notes on the piano roll. As far as I know, at this moment you can't lock the piano roll in a scale to click in your notes. That's a suggestion I made in the video. Hopefully, It will come up in the future. I believe those are called "ghost notes". I haven't seen them added yet. But, hopefully at some point they'll be added.

[@JDRance]

I noticed you didn't show anything with sampling. Have they finally given us the ability to drop a one shot and have it time stretch so that it can be played across the keys? That has always been one thing Maschine can't do that all other samplers can and I've never understood why NI hasn't added that. The closest we have is using gate in the audio menu. But you have to know the note of the sample and you have to play the cadence, bounce it in place then use the keyboard editor while it's in gate. They can do stem separation but not one of the core functions of a sampler. Let us know and shoot a vid of it if it does exist. I have a MK1 and don't see an immediate need to upgrade from 2.0 especially if they still haven't added the feature I just described

[@jhsmith1183]

I use kontakt for that on the time machine setting. If you don't have kontakt the grain stretch effect at about 40% does a pretty good job too.

All I really want is 1: drop a sample in their sampler and the shit locks to tempo. 2: when I highlight a midi note it previews.

Yea I agree with the locking the sample to the tempo. That’s why I prefer Serato Sample. If you get a chop, you can turn it into an audio track and it’ll sync but that’s extra steps.
