Appreciate it Mark!

Superb video as always. Easier is NOT always better. There's a satisfaction in finding work arounds. I do everything on my comp, from drawing, to video editing, to watching tutorials, so sometimes I just want to go in my bedroom or anywhere that's not a computer and make some music.

[@jefgibbons]

That’s for sure... feels great to change locations!

[@tali813]

@@jefgibbons Side question... have you tried the M+ with an audio interface? Does it lower the cpu usage?

[@manny75586]

You can use a V mount battery. A slimmer size one will give you about 8 hrs of juice and you can use the regular USB cable.

[@TheBiggerNoise]

Great video as usual. I recently finished up Blezz’s Maschine Noobs course and recommend it highly to anyone that is still clicking around the Maschine UI.

[@jefgibbons]

That’s great to hear! He’s an amazing teacher

[@robertshamansky1912]

You need to bundle your Maschine lessons up and sell them! I’m starting to feel guilty about not paying you for all this good teaching 🤣 At least get a tip jar or Patreon! 🤣🤣 Thanks Jef

[@jefgibbons]

Ha! Always appreciate it Robert! I’m planning to set up a tip jar soon.

[@ande047]

Jef, I was cracking up when I saw the clip of you outside with the gas powered generator cause I can totally relate! I’ve honestly contemplated buying one so I could create some projects outside. Thanks as always for the maschine instructional vids, I’ve learned pretty much all I know about maschine from watching your vids!

[@richardleclerc5257]

Bro, you are a life savior. I bought several lessons to learn maschine with no success. I watch all of your lessons and tips, and now I manipulate maschine with ease for free. I don't know if you are selling any product. if not, I hope you take donation for so much valuable information.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Richard! I'm thinking about setting up a Patreon for donations... maybe in the next couple weeks? Really appreciate it!

[@cinemaxperience3353]

[@appomusicproducer9761]

Maschine Plus have everything you don't need anything else on the studio practically hehehe and that is amazing because it have it all in one i Just love Maschine Plus and also this one make you learn away from the computer and that is great, I saw it more like a instrument to learn to play that have a learning curve than just a Groovebox that many people say because they don't have idea, i just love it and thousands time more than the Akai MPC's, but ones u know how it works everything Maschine is super Powerful Instrument and Tool 💪🏻 i love my son my Maschine and then my wife hahaha😁 and now with the Jam OMG simple Amazing together is the perfect marriage totally recommended highly recommend😃 if you can make still with one jam don't think about it 😉😊🤘🏻 Peace a Positive Vibes to All of You Maschine Lovers and Haters love for you 😜🤘🏻👍🏻✌🏻

[@JoeGariano]

Thank you Jef for explaining how to load Kontakt patches and for the reference to the pianobook site. I loaded up several this afternoon and they sound awesome!

[@jefgibbons]

Great! Yeah, it’s fantastic, I was shocked when they just worked on M+!

[@christophkuhn1964]

Danke!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Christoph!

[@Markrspooner]

Great seeing Kontakt working on this and it is fantastic seeing you use some of the Pianobook libraries. Amazing that there are 100s of free sample libraries on the site and even though most are made by amateurs and often beginners to sampling, they sound amazing.

[@jefgibbons]

Seriously! Looking forward to digging in!

[@al8xandros]

Very nice video as usual. Thanks for all these tips. I would be interested if you did a video specifically on note/sequence editing workflow (zooming in/out, selecting notes, copying, deleting, moving them in pitch or in timeline). It's the part where I'm still getting a bit frustrated not having a mouse or a touch screen on the M+.

[@jefgibbons]

Great idea, definitely a tough thing to get used to!

[@lukestevens4374]

Great tutorial. I dont know how many other maschine plus vids dont bother with the differences between the mk3 and the plus

[@Beggsnacon]

yessir... i give you 1000 breakfast points for shouting out my brilliant friend Blezz in this video! Bless your breakfast!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Beggs! I’ll take full advantage of those breakfast points in the morning.

[@martinrothmusic]

amazing tips Jef - takes my Maschine+ to the next level! Thank you

[@ericmaly162]

Just upgraded to maschine plus and this is so helpful. Thanks Jeff

[@filmnoirincolor]

this opening bit is incredible

[@weststarr2046]

AWESOME vid...for real. LOVE that PINK PANTHER shirt, have to grab one...😎✨!!!!

[@quatrog444]

Great video, was really helpful, but I got a question? what do u think about serrate sampler? I saw a couple videos and the workflow looks faster but I never tried, did u tried before on maschine?

[@GrootsieTheDog]

Do you have a video showing how to get those piano sample Kontakt patches into Maschine+? Thanks

[@GeorgeHzMusic]

That was so knowledgeable!

[@appomusicproducer9761]

Great 👍🏻 video Bro you always explain everything very good and for advancers but beginners with a little bit of idea I think they will catch it because your explanations are great thanks I just pass from MK3 to plus and bought a Jam and they are just amazing together, thanks for all your videos please keep going with the videos using both Maschine Plus and Jam, thanks on advance ,🤗👍🏻✌🏻 And one question is possible to pass the expansion kits from MK3 from the computer to the microcard of the plus and use them? Or any possibilitys to get free new expansions more for techno and electronic music please, thanks in advance 🤗👍🏻✌🏻✌🏻🤘🏻 and keep going as I say great videos and exceptional explained thanks 🙏🏻😊

[@michaela6393]

Is there any possible way to upload other NI Kontakt patches? For instance like the Scarbee EPs or bass sounds?

[@AntonioBrandao]

Should work if you register the serial in Native Access and then use Kontakt 6 to upload them to the Maschine

[@Jason75913]

I'm curious as what nkis are incompatible. Are there even any?

[@jordanburgess4091]

This was incredible!

[@lebronsinclair8012]

Super helpful tips!

[@julienDrcq]

man this is high level tutorial crazy need to watch 10 times lol thanks for all this very good tips can you do some tutorial to create a project with recording true guitar acoustic and electric plus voices in Machine MK3/plus and more about the clip mode please thanks

[@andreilemieux9525]

What about a rob papen nks preset or something like lion by unfiltered audio it shows when connected to computer but that would make this thing perfect

[@MichaelGilboe]

You always have great stuff on working Maschine! I’ve been using Maschine for a little over 4 years, but I always watch your vids, because almost always you have a little workflow nugget I haven’t found or thought of yet. This one is all gold! I got my M+ in Nov. and I’ve written 250 tracks on it so far. And everything you discussed in this vid were my main pain points. What do you know about the ripcord issue? I was using Ripcord successfully for 3 1/2 months, and then the unit kept powering off on me. A replacement ripcord is on its way, but taking forever, but in the meantime I’ve heard these little murmurs that there might be issues... but nothing really concrete.

[@MichaelGilboe]

Oh... and you explained Blezz’ Massive creation better than HE did! I’m heading there now to get it.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks! Dude, 250 tracks!! You’ve got to be the M+ king! That sucks about the ripcord... I don’t know anything about that device.

[@MichaelGilboe]

@@jefgibbons Yeah.. Under 8 different "artists/projects" My goal is to have 100 up on all platforms by end of June. I just submitted my 53rd.

[@RDHamel]

But Didn’t elektron get this stuff sorted out ten years ago with the octatrack? Why are we still getting all those limitations and cumbersome workarounds? Somebody help me out.

[@Slew1966]

I have looked everywhere. I ask you. I’m looking for a plug in for a echo out. Do you know of any?

[@codename9988]

I got an Anker 48600 battery and a Ripcord - about $150.

[@killakromes1x]

That’s a nice lamp.

[@BarryDanielMusic]

Really liking the new visual set up. What’s your favourite record in your collection?

[@jefgibbons]

Oh dang, that’s a tough one! I’d have to say a few... Les Baxter’s Space Escapade, Jean Michel Jarre Les Chants Magnetics, Art Farmer Modern Art, and Ramsey Lewis The Sound of Christmas!! (Which he signed for me!!)

[@magnusdrums8835]

Hey well done that patch trick works for me but only some short time after some minutes after load the patched instrument to group what was playable in group and as instrument the samples dissapear and cant get back til you load the patch new ? it seems to erase the samples somehow without any warning also if you save the project and load it the samples arent there even showing in the padfieled named it has no sount until you load it new somebody has a glue about this or have same problem or did i forget something to do after loading the patch some special save the patch is on sd card i also tryed anothe sd card with same problem

[@magnusdrums8835]

Hey Jef i am curious if you managed that the Pianobook patches stay in the maschine + standalone cause mine looses the sound after 20 mins and also not show up with sound after saving the group with sound as i fear it is a licence problem cause it behaves like a demo version in kontakt somehow even these patches are free ones

[@chesleyrolleMusic]

hey jef great work love all your videos on mashine plus etc..quick question im having a problem in where when im changing my scenes manualy there not starting from 1 would you know what would be causeing that??

[@jeffbird5082]

Nice to see you could put kontakt patches on maschine plus! Can you put purchased library patches like Olafur Arnalds felt piano or noire for example?

[@jefgibbons]

I’m pretty sure it’s limited to user patches, I’ll be doing some testing!

[@jeffbird5082]

@@jefgibbons cool that would be the ultimate to play libraries on the maschine plus like you can with komplete control. Maybe one day!

[@benconvey2897]

Hey @jeff gibbons, when you say “you need to have kontakt 6 to load user patches” do you mean you have to have the full paid for liscence, ( circa £300 here in the UK) to load any user patches OR that the patches must have been created using kontakt 6? I assume it’s the former. If so seems like a strange restriction on NIs part given a version of kontakt is already on the M+. I have a M+ but no other NI products. I couldn’t get the free piano samples you mentioned to load but as you mentioned other users have been able to load kontakt patches generally. It’s very confusing, lol

[@benconvey2897]

Thanks for the videos btw, the time stretching tips are great 👍

[@93hahayougotme]

all my one shots are literally just one sound. How do you get loops?

[@omegajackson]

Yo piano book is dope. I loaded a kontakt drum library by mistake and it showed up in M+.

[@jefgibbons]

Yeah, I have to dig in more, what a resource…

[@SynthAddict]

cool tips, thanks

[@hydeanderson6784]

Hey Jef! Thanks so much for all your content! Please start selling swag or open a patreon or something. I owe you more than just youtube views! The ask: I want to turn samples into synths. So take my daughter laughing and strech the audio and make it into a virtual instrument that can be played in keyboard mode. I know this would be easy to do in Kontakt on the computer but I would much rather do it on Maschine+, even if it's not as feature rich as full Kontakt. Also, serious about that swag or Patreon thing. Hell, sell some private lessons! I'll buy!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Hyde! I do have a tip jar in the description if you're feeling tipsy! Here is a vid on that sort of thing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWivc4CufNVjhLc not M+ specific, but it would all apply. Let me know if there's any M+ specific questions!

[@jefgibbons]

Hyde you're a boss! Thanks so much for the tip!

[@hydeanderson6784]

There's another free source that I'd like to see you explore via video. There is a giant collection of single cycle waveforms on github. Far too many to actually use them all; and they barely take any storage. It's kind of perfect for the plus.
