MASCHINE JAM workflow: Combining MASCHINE hardware | Native Instruments

[@MUNRO13]

The last sentence blew my mind.

[@SuperPussyFinger]

Yeah, it sounded like a jargon orgy.

[@MIDIDesigner]

Interesting replacement (MK2+Jam) for Studio. In fact, the top right of the Jam looks EXACTLY like Maschine Studio's master control section. I don't really understand how it gives "direct access to scenes and patterns" but... we'll see when the tutorials start coming out. I can't wait to see the spec's.

[@fauxfreshness7728]

I feel like this was more aimed at someone like me. I keep wanting to compose and work entirely in MASCHINE, but I only upgraded the software and didn't get to upgrade to the Studio controller yet. But both of these would be epic; setup the project in Studio, and then play the layered instruments out through a scene and then work with the scene back in Studio. Now, if only +Matt Celletti could hook me up... ;-)

[@Spencerlayne]

I'm very interested in buy this to go with my maschine. As I bought mine buy it came with select 11 and since I want massive x and 12 select I may be better of buying this and getting 12 with it. Pretty much get this of 12 for free. Smart thinking. But I'm interested to know. Isn't the jam just exactly the same as the step sequencer on the maschine?

[@madedigital]

With strips

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Yea...liking this.

[@pierrefitch]

Should I get the jam for my MK3 found one used but guy has no license key for Jam will it work with Mk3 .. looks epic together;)

[@slymega28]

Buy it don’t need the licence key works anyway-magic combo

[@JamesDAAH]

Im also guessing this is why for those who own komplete 10 ultimate. we feel as if buying the upgrade to 11 isnt worth it. cuz yall were making a push companion for maschine in stead of upping your komplete library outside of the symphony series strings

[@KmK3830]

I never went past komplete 9. I upgraded to "live sample" mode. This included An amp, mics, acoustic, electric guitar, custom drums , my amp with bidirectional USB audio/midi through guitar rig and an iPhone. Still got the good old 2010 machine mikro orange edition. #skittlefreedrumpads

[@TRUE_GR1T]

I'm done with NI controllers...got a push 2 the other night. I had problems with maschine hardware and software since I bought it 5 years ago. Every time I was feeling creative I would get plug-in errors and have to fuck around trying to fix those. That happened with each new PC I had (maybe it works better on mac). Can't forget having to run ASIO4ALL to actually hear any sound. I've had the Push 2 for 2 days and already it's more comfortable and more intuitive to use than maschine ever was and all I had to do was install the software and plug it in (no asio4all!). I will say that maschine comes with a better variety of sounds than the intro version of ableton live, but i found a program that will let me use any NI sound/sample/synth in Ableton Live. It's $40 for that program but I think it's going to be worth it.

[@FredEFuego]

Yeah I have never not 1 time had it crash or any errors on Mac OS

[@midcitymalpromo1495]

Your computer must suck!!!! Never ran into a plugin issue even when they were on Maschine 1.8. Ableton is good too I am not going to lie though.

[@TRUE_GR1T]

Jamal Washington My computer is fine. I never said anything about crashing btw^^ My older laptop wasn't great but was good enough for maschine. I spent $1700 on this pc last year so it's not top of the line but certainly not the worst pc out there. I actually did get all of my maschine plug-ins working after hours of reinstalling and moving VST locations and a bunch of other trial and error. That was a few months ago...I recently reinstalled razor since I forgot to back then, and I'm having the same 'Plug-in not found!" Error with any effect from razor. That was the final straw for me... When I bought maschine about 5 years ago I was under the impression that it was more of a DAW then just a screen to arrange a beat. 2 days on ableton live (a real DAW) and it functions as I had expected the maschine to. It also feels like a higher quality product...the MK1 feels like a toy next to it.

[@edglue6138]

PC stands for, Prehistoric Computer

[@TRUE_GR1T]

Ed Glue Yeah ok mac fanboy. As I said ableton works perfectly on my PC. Funny how my "prehistoric computer" cost less than any mac but has better specs than them, isn't it?

[@garyusinger]

when you combine maschine and jam together like this are you using one software for both controllers?

[@alexfury5281]

Gary Usinger yes they both run on one stage of Maschine Software ;)

[@ConnorGremory]

does the same apply for the jam and mk3?

[@Phristan-the-wolvenking]

Yesh

[@alex_ustasu_]

would be working conifiguration as shown in video with adding komplete s49mk2?

[@SkySplitterInk]

Really need to be able to step sequence triplets in groups of three, have different focus per controller, clear patterns on the fly.

[@bluelouie399]

this with the new song clip feature they are going to be releasing soon will make for some interesting production...

[@jkq2006]

LOL

[@seashley8931]

where do all the sounds come from? are they built in?

[@synthnchill7457]

yea, i don't know about Jam, but when you buy Maschine you get gigs and gigs of sample packs and plugins. Ive had it for a year and haven't scratched the surface of whats in there.

[@EROKBEATZ]

Doesn't look too different but I'm weak for cool gadgets

[@BigFish2023]

Me too :)

[@dannidaner]

Why not put all the features into one controller?

[@RinaldoJonathan]

they won't be able to charge you 2 times.

[@HEC9]

@@RinaldoJonathan On my country this 2 pieces together is cheaper than Push 2 (no audio interface)

[@djjoeyharris9711]

I feel you, but I like the bigger drum pads for sampling; I would actually like to see a company make even bigger pads; not like drum set big but bigger than Mac style

[@kineticinnerg]

Welp sounds like they listened to you because The Maschine + is now here

[@edgarguerra2166]

I LOVE IT NICE TOOLS

[@Narinorth2]

How could I purchase a Mascine Jam? I've looked everywhere for one.

[@hinkeltwister7311]

They sell them used in The Netherlands, if u really can't find one I could order one for you and send it to you

[@HypnotyzJah]

how do i set them up to both come on at the same time

[@futurewillow3269]

But how do it change group on the mk3 with out ot changing group on the jam?or vice versa?

[@brynleythomas5525]

I'd love it if you could actually do that

[@user-cu8xn7vd7o]

What is the Drumkit used here please ?

[@joegreto8047]

make a new jam please

[@dazeja]

I thought you could only use one controller at a time. did you have multiple instances on Maschine open? If not, how did you use both controllers?

[@Spidouz]

What happen to JAM… it’s about time to release a mk2 version!

[@NativeInstruments]

We'd love to see that happen! 👀

[@h-dawg969]

Is it possible to sequence hardware instruments from the Jam? I have the Aira series. A tr8, tb3 and system 1. If I want to get it all going together, do I have to use a daw, with Maschine as a plug in on 1 channel and the hardware on separate channels in Logic? Or can I use Maschine as stand alone, recording the other hardware instruments into the Maschine daw? & then if I got the jam, could I sequence the tb3 and tr8? Would Maschine have to be the interface or still use my audio interface? I’m either making tunes in Logic or Maschine with my monitors plugged into interface, or I’m jamming Dawless with the aira set up, but I haven’t got it all working together yet. I’m pretty newb with al this, so if anyone can offer any tips or link tutorials that’d be wicked. Would anyone think the MX1 would be a good option to use as the ‘brains’ and have Maschine on 1 MX1 channel? & if so, how easy is it to do this?

[@mycosys]

Yes, maschine doesnt much care what it does with the midi, be it internal or external. It makes no differentiation between midi and sample tracks, and they can be mixed in a kit. You can also write in Maschine to externals, and then easily sample into it for chopping.

[@majewskimusic]

Thanks, ;-)

[@EduTerrataca]

wtf, people are comparing this to Push? this maschine jam is more like an akai APC to me

[@pyllynalleboiii2205]

Edu Terra So true. It's like a combination of maschine,APC and a Lil' bit of push.

[@orangie4647]

Which one is better so i know which one i should buy cuz i saw my favorite band (AJR) using one of your hardware The Maschine Which costs $599.00 and the Maschine Jam that costs $299.00 which one is better?

[@vicentmolltorregrosa8787]

What is the songs

[@dougadamson9946]

Maschine Push

[@lance3749]

Puschine Mash

[@DARNODJ]

cool

[@blackl1steddrums]

Machine-uhhhh

[@danielnseca7935]

Wow I have the Mikro MK3!

[@AS-gc2tk]

im good on this.

[@benbinary1]

What parameters does the Lock function save? Can we lock and morph VST settings?

[@modernmythrecordings4749]

1. Well, dropdown-style parameters do not seem to be part of the lock (like changing the main sound preset of a vst or something) Just about everything I have messed with is lockable, I did notice Tempo and time signatures are not lockable. Most, just a few exceptions. 2. Yes and yes, again with a few exceptions.

[@Alive79311]

Very disappointed! This video did nothing but convince NI users not to buy this product...it's completely unnecessary! Where's the DAW, channel strip controller, better Audio Interface etc.? NI is falling behind, it's sad and this is coming from a loyal customer!

[@basehead617]

So all the manuals and help I've seen say you can only use one Maschine controller at a time, 1 per instance.. so how is this possible??

[@modernmythrecordings4749]

It is referring specifically to using two identical model Maschine controllers in a setup simultaneously, (which would require one of them to be in 'Midi Mode') This setup in the video is Maschine MkII and a Maschine Jam setup which still allows both controllers to keep their normal "Maschine Mode" functionalities.

[@basehead617]

Thanks, i realized this later when i posted on NI forums and then re-read the manual!

[@ItsaRomethingeveryday]

this was a really good video, I Shared to our "Scratchmasters " community on Google+ Please feel free to share your uploads with our Community please Sincerely Its a Rome thing everyday. Thanks

[@MatrixxSoundlab]

Man listen... I need to be home with this and working on some House music! #houseisafeeling

[@robhoyt188]

Damn!

[@knoxvilledrummerslaidoc4508]

They make it look easy - most people that have never used machine before will just be like me and stare at the computer and machine for days and KZbin directions just to end up taking it back for money back - nothing is easy anymore when it comes to making beats and recording it in a DAW

[@Mat-gu2fd]

Wish this shit wasn't so expensive.

[@vicentmolltorregrosa8787]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu q dj me la compro

[@ReevesTo10k]

UMMM how the hell am i supposed to concentrate when hes going OFF on the pads?

[@steventnuc6321]

I have never said machine ahhhhhh Maschine is just machine

[@ThePhinxist]

It's an apc 40 w/ touch pads. Ewww.

[@aubergine777666]

It is still not possible to unfocus the JAM from the Maschine. You have two devices but can't do two different things... This is such a let down and a joke. Has been a huge feature request since 2017 but the update we get is loop stat changed from *on* to *off*. Thanks for abbadonning the JAM! It's completly useless live.

[@dantepearl4186]

Need a pilots license it use it. RAM hog. Tried for a couple months, stuffed back in the box and bought a Roland TR-8s

[@alemusicgirl]

still not better than push 2

[@JamesDAAH]

Okay. this is pretty cool. I have a mikro. and the jam is basically making this fruity loops hardware style. Pretty sweet. Now fix the daw bullshit. running maschine as a plug in is a fat joke. couldnt be more confusing.

[@seanc8721]

Or at least make the Maschine VST window resizable!! For fucks sake.

[@xbalintx]

omg the pronounciation of "Maschine" is soo Englisch :D

[@gianamajorbeats]

Why the hell is he pronouncing Maschine as 'Machin-ah'? I had to stop the video. Very distracting.

[@stickdeck]

Because thats the German pronunciation. Native Instruments is in Berlin. If you notice its also German spelling; Maschine, not machine.

[@madzaggyerek]

it's still machin-eh, not -ah

[@edglue6138]

Fuck off ee

[@stickdeck]

Thomas More I was about to reply to you and say "its not that serious dude." Then I saw that you said "I pray for you and your family that you have more patience in your personal life..." O_0 ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! HE needs more patience?? OOOHHH THE IRONY.

[@johnnysimsyo]

Thomas More the irony ... lol you sound dumb as hell

[@johnaustin1061]

fake ass version of the Push2 and more expensive if you buy both those.

[@HathorRa]

it's not though. to get the best usage out of push you have to also buy Ableton. Push2 + Ableton suite is 1200$ i got a used mk1 for

[@babyzorilla]

Songs are too repetitive sounding

[@HoosierGuy]

Are both of these using the same instance of Machine?

[@dhopp1980]

Yes they are
