Maschine Mikro MK3 Tutorial Part 2: Chords, Instruments, Plugins

[@Ajonra]

Great video series. Side note. You can hold shift and twist the encoder to drop your root note down an octave.

[@SanjayC]

Ooooh! So much easier! Thank you!!!

[@liamhebden8857]

I love the fact these videos are short enough and well laid out enough to quickly go "how do you do that?" skip skip there it is... 10 seconds later.. cool i know it now.. nice one

[@SanjayC]

Thanks, Liam! :-)

[@ospace4us186]

DITTO Liam, perfect videos

[@Ram.Saketh]

🙏🏽 Thank you so much, truly generous. Really appreciate you supporting my work. 😃

[@teknon0tice]

I started on these videos last night, didn't quite wrap my head around, but then I slept on it and came back today and everything clicked. Thank you

[@jeditekk]

Step sequencer is the main reason I’m getting this - informative videos

[@vfreebandz5942]

I was just about to get the maschine mk2 but they took it off the market, I was very depressed because I had the greatest teacher . Gutiar center said all they had was the maschine mikro mk3 I was very stressed but seeing your videos got me happy again thank you so much

[@SanjayC]

I'm so happy to hear that! I hope you enjoy the MK3...I think its great

[@rakeshmittu]

You are full of talents Sanjay. I learned this just watching your videos. Keep posting. God bless you

[@SanjayC]

Hey, great! Thanks for finding me! :-D What type of music do you make?

[@rakeshmittu]

@@SanjayC Oh thanks for replying. I am Rakesh from Leeds UK I play Indian /Punjabi folk/ Bollywood song on my KORG PA00 arranger keyboard. Though I am not trained and have no knowledge of music theory, I have collected almost 90K subscribers 😂 So I realised that I should add some more gears to my little studio, bought Maschine3 and found your beautiful channel. Here are my couple of performances on KORG PA900 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3nYc2p-ZdxpgMk kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmbVc2B4h8t1sJY Basically I was bored playing same beats on keyboard. I wanna make mine own now. Please tell me where from I can buy some good and cheap Indian drum kits/ Bhangra kits to add in Maschine software? Thanks to you for all those tutorials that I already playing a bit after couple of days I bought that Maschine 🙏 Warm Regards Rakesh Inspirations

[@SanjayC]

Woah! You're awesome! I watched a few of your videos! Excellent piano playing and mixing!

Hey man your tutorials are really helping me i am high functioning autistic and you explain things perfectly! Thank you for what you do here at my studio i am grateful learning the new NI products. Can you make a video on the A25 and how to sync it up as well as the maschine mikro with Cubase 10 Pro?

[@SanjayC]

I'm so glad to hear that my videos are helpful to you! I'm not a Cubase user, so you may need to google that one. I'll try to do a video on the A25 soon.

[@timothylofi]

I got to 2:00 and I couldn’t hear anything? I was working on drums a second ago so I didn’t think my settings were the issue?

[@Jpaul038]

Great video on micro Sanjay C!

[@Rojozproduction]

Debating between this and the a25! Seems like the mk3 is better for hip hop production! What you guys think!?

[@SanjayC]

They are both so different. I suggest the MK3 and the new M32 actually. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKuUXnmJfbamipY

Hi Sanjay, can we create various types of time signatures with patterns in 7/8 or 5/4, for instance, with these kinds of machines and softwares?

great videos sanjay - is there a combination to switch from midi mode back into native mode - i can t find it - thanks

[@Zulek85]

I don't know if Mikro is easier or you are great teacher! You showed how to get started in minutes! I had regular Mk3 and watchd hours of videos, and still there was much to learn, and much I didn't understand. Am I thinking right that, regular Mk3 users are above Mikro or it just depends on one's needs?

Kind of a backhanded compliment, but every time I watch one of your product videos I end up buying more shit. Thanks man. My Maschine will be here tomorrow lol

[@SamarthGollapudi]

Hi Sanjay C I’m planning on buying the Komplete Kontrol s61 mk2 and really want the maschine mikro too... What do u suggest I do? do u think it’s worth buying both of them or will the s61 have most of these features... Also I have an akai lpd8 will I be able do anything like the maschine mikro with it?? Please help... Thanks in advance 😀😀

[@SanjayC]

I suggest buying the S61 and getting a good Komplete software bundle with it because the price is so good now. Wait to buy the Maschine Mikro later. You can access some of the Maschine software features from the keyboard already. And don’t forget to use my link to the Ni sale! 😊 thanks buddy. If you have more questions, let me know.

[@SamarthGollapudi]

@@SanjayC thank you so much for ur reply, will surely use ur link if I buy it from the NI store... Thanks again, btw I kinda binge watched almost all of ur videos..

[@billyfreeze1893]

These are great , I have a question how do I get the project to always start at the beginning is there a setting I’ve missed? Thx , I would be lost without your videos

[@SanjayC]

You can press the Restart button to start from the beginning.

[@billyfreeze1893]

@@SanjayC thank you , please keep making these fantastic video’s. Btw LinkedIn which now owns Lynda , or ask Lynda ? A pay for tutorial site has no tutorials on Mikro , you may get a gig there with yours . Chk it out

[@merlejohanssen3203]

Very nice videos! Thanks a lot! Could you maybe make one video on how to setup "real" instruments (guitar, piano etc.). I've been having some troubles with it. Thanks anyway!

[@SanjayC]

How do you mean? Like record real instruments through a microphone?

[@merlejohanssen3203]

@@SanjayCthanks for answering so fast! More like via audio interface. I have already everything connected, but still the e-piano doesn't "go into" the software.

[@merlejohanssen3203]

Oh I get it, I meant e-piano and e-guitar. Not real-real (acoustic) instruments. :)

[@SanjayC]

The MK3 doesn't have an audio input, so you'll have to record sounds to your computer first and then play them with the sampler

[@Royalelephants]

Can I place patterns together? Say my verse is 4 bars and then my post chorus is 2 and chorus is a different drum beat and its 4 bars?

[@SanjayC]

Yes you can

[@Royalelephants]

@@SanjayC Thank you 👍

which massive bass your using?

[@radshoesbro]

Can you change note duration and still use the step sequencer correctly? Say I want to have a bar of 8th note hi hats and then a bar with 16th note how does that work?

[@ToddKessler]

When I try to add high hat using the step function I am not able to. The lights don't light up on the pad when I press them as you did at 5:58. Any tips?

[@Musician_Robert]

You rock Sanjay!!!! Thanks for the videos. Curious, is it possible to play a chord on the keyboard and map that to a trigger pad? - Thanks in advance.

[@SanjayC]

I dont' think that Maschine has that feature (I may be wrong). But you can try the Chord set feature like I showed in this video, but of course you'll just have the chords - you won't combine chords plus drums. To do that, you have to save your chords as a sample (audio file), and then add it to your drum set.

[@peteroppong1171]

GREETINGS.....MR SANJAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIVID REVIEW OF THIS PRODUCT. PLEASE, CAN I HOOK UP A KEYBOARD CONTROLLER TO THE MK3 MIKRO. THANKS.

[@SanjayC]

You won’t hook it up to the Mikro, you will connect it directly to you computer. But it will work together with the Mikro

[@TLWilford]

Hello, I have a question regarding using the chords feature. Under the keyboard portion you configure the pads to the C major scale. Are you able to perform the same function under chords? Meaning could I play the chords under a selected major or minor scale chosen? If yes, is the mapping to the pads identical to the intervals you played in the C major scale?

[@RevElaineNjerveZack7]

Not first again, or second, but great informative video!

[@mubashir.87]

In Pattern settings, what's position, start, length and bank?

[@brennythebutcher]

Why can't I get my Massive plugin sounds to preview with the scroller wheel like this?

[@SanjayC]

I wonder if they have added the previews yet. Check Native Access for an update.

[@brennythebutcher]

@@SanjayC Thanks! Yeah I ended up figuring this out last night. The audio previews weren't available in my Native Access for some reason. Had to go find the DL link online. All good now. Just got my Mikro by the way. Finding your tutorial super helpful.
