Hey one trick horse ….not at all jef.,,,,,,you taught me enough…..keep doing what you’re doing……..peace from london uk 🇬🇧✌️

[@spokansas]

Fun watching the ever evolving parade of equipment on your desk!

[@jefgibbons]

Different for every video ;) but the Osmose is my fave right now!

[@kenvis6389]

I just got Rudiments, Duets and Utopia. I have most of the Play Series now, and I use them a lot. I really like Rudiments. Nice video, always entertaining and informative.

Just saw this sale and wondered what to roll with. Knew you'd steer us right, Jef. Great stuff! Pretty new to all this but after 20 years in a 3D creative industry, I'd forgotten how art can be naively playful. Starting with music at this late stage (40s) has reminded me that not everything has to be a survival tactic. I don't have to be good at this. I think maybe taking that pressure away is making me more successful at it. In any case, I'm having a blast and greatly appreciate your channel.

I like 40 drums and keys, Bazzazian Tapes, Karriem Riggins, Utopia, Glaze, and Duets. All super usable for me.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jef. I like NI products but now their performance are getting worse and worse. I have powerful PC and for example, Kontakt 7 standalone and VST loading in over a minute ( when Kontakt 6 loading in 2 sec.) Native Access has loading issues in every update. Maschine software hasn't been updated for ages. Now it looks like it's quantity over quality. I think I will spend my money on something different, maybe like MPC. Anyway, great video as always. Cheers

[@Realliedoe]

Komplete 15 on the way!

[@fabianrr]

Oh yeah

[@djjuno106]

Definitely you can smell it's just around the corner..I think it will coincide with maschine 3

[@jefgibbons]

@@djjuno106 I hope you're right about Maschine 3... we need it desperately!

[@bennyceca]

yes, October this year most likely, two year release.

[@arkpnbf04]

I need it like yesterday 😅😅😅😅

[@Realliedoe]

Rudiments, Hybrid Keys and Empire Breaks...I have others but these are my Favorites

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks for sharing!

[@DL-1]

I haven't bought the rudiments series yet, but I like the sound of that opening snare in the demo. It seems like it's just right for east coast hip hop.

[@TheRTM]

Where did you get the wood case/rack for your white drum machine sitting on your desk?

[@jefgibbons]

I should have a link in the description

[@matteastland62]

Awesome As Always, Jef ! Much appreciated . . . THANK YOU.

[@jefgibbons]

Thank you Matt!

[@smokinjoe45]

The EDM track in the Utopia section was killer!

[@jefgibbons]

I was surprised how great it was! Forgot about that one ;)

[@smokinjoe45]

@@jefgibbons cool! Keep up the good work

[@DL-1]

Nice t shirt. I miss Marty McFly.

[@SinDog3]

Does any of the NI Play Series allow you to use your own samples like Arcade does. NI Play Series seems to be a lot better value than Arcade even if it doesn't let you use your own samples. But it would not even be close if they allowed your own samples

[@DorianMusicMix]

wow, JX-3P LOVE!! use 1993, Good sound A3 ORgan Hammond unique

[@jefgibbons]

Love the JX-3P!

[@Blueberrystop]

❤

[@danyocean1190]

The new NI keyboard works with maschine now?

[@jefgibbons]

Not really :( Does basic stuff, and Kontakt 7 works fine with it (browser and controls etc) Doesn't do mixer, or transport controls yet (Yeah, I'm bummed about that too!)

[@nico5]

In some ways these kinds of instruments strike me as more ideal for highly interactive music listening rather than for creating original music for publishing. And hours of fun can be had messing around with these sonic snippets and patterns without ever spending a thought on publishing. Buying this rather than some mediocre album might be a more enjoyable music related experience for the right individual.

[@chillwalker]

Go back to the black Frame of the Glasses ;-)

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

I always find nothing for myself : I make Industrial EBM music and NI only made one somewhat usable sound expansion ( Body Mechanik ) we the Rivet Heads get zero attention : I believe MOEV and Frontline Assembly are Canadian .... Cheers 🥂

[@jefgibbons]

Yes!! Lots of cross pollination with some of my local music idols as a kid!! MOEV… Nettwerk, one of my best friends went on to work at Nettwerk when we were really young, great success story.

[@nukenoly8751]

Agreed no Front 242 sound banks ever

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

@@nukenoly8751 Yes, 80's 90's EBM era had been completely ignored : whatever I was able to find are Industrial Techno backs But I did manage to find a few out there: I suppose one can find suitable sounds within Synthwave and cyberpunk stuff : 242 was 90% E-MU EMULATOR, they've used 4 of them : check out : MESH - DIORAMA and MIND IN a BOX Cheers 🥂

[@billybartcody3591]

Gotta distort, manipulate and resample the tame stuff to make it aggro, lol. It's unfortunate that their expansions are primarily house/EDM focused as they could really clean up with some quality industrial, synthwave and IDM content. Maschine is my main sampler/sequencer for my hw synths and makes for a great sketch/perform hub for my setup, but I have to make most of my own samples and kits. NI does have some great soft synths, tho.

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

@@billybartcody3591 Of course my friend : I went back to REASON just for that reason (NPI) because of all the players and RE sequencers : I finally found a perfect tool : I'm just waiting for REASON to implement clip mode and then to the moon Alice ! 😁 I just want to stick with one DAW period Over the years I've collected enough to sustain my needs : but the problem with all the companies such as NI and others, there's never continuation with anything, never a Body Mechanik Vol 2 - 3 - 4 _ You get my disappointment by now : and finally Maschine, I believe they don't focus on it anymore as much as they do on their goofy Kontakt players : That EBM heads or Hard Trance heads have no use for : Like they say in NYC there are 500 ways to flip a sample 😎 ... I can go on and on and on : Cheers 🥂
