Read my mind with this video, I love the Lock State feature and just remembered about it! So slept on. Some features I'd love to see are: -labeling lock states instead of just numbers -linking them to patterns and scenes. (Just as you select a pattern to correspond with scene, so could lock states) -

[@julienDrcq]

yep agree very great idea will be amazing

[@dkkrecords]

naming n' coloring would be a second big plus.....and at time of writing since i've been sleeping on locked states until just recently.....being able to thoroughly automate within scenes....(i hear there's a way, but i've not discovered yet)

[@NakulKrishna]

I think the arrange window needs to get upgraded. Ideas view is already good enough in terms of selecting patterns for scenes. Arrangement should be able to record everything that happens in the maschine when you jam with it the same as ableton does with its session view into arrangement. Saving all lock state morphing and every little thing we do like muting a sound randomly or dropping levels for a group, sends etc. it would complete Maschine’s journey imo. Cool video btw!

[@julienDrcq]

definely right need upgrade but to record I thinks we can do it already

[@TheMAU5SoundsLikThis]

I agree. It’s really frustrating that you have to use all these workarounds.

[@altberg__]

@@TheMAU5SoundsLikThis new to maschine+ .. are there still updates on a regular base? Improvements, new synths etc?

[@MikeMackie]

@@altberg__ I've heard it hasn't gotte an update in a long time. However just a fee days ago maschine users started saying that they had gotten an email from native instruments asking the what they would like updated to maschine

[@altberg__]

@@MikeMackie Noice. Thanks for info. :)

[@schmapps1]

It would also be great to be able to assign a different target/travel time to each lock state independently

[@pg5215]

Long time listener first time caller. This video is incredible; Jeremy really shows off the possibilities and creates a killer jam at the end that uses exactly the tools he taught us how to use. Top notch. Ought to do more vids with this here guy, easily one of the best Maschine vids I’ve seen.

[@jaylow759]

Highly recommend his channel, great tutorials mixed with even better adult humor ;-)

[@yenthesage2717]

Yes! Already been using them, but man having Jeremy show it is special!

[@julienDrcq]

totally

[@micheleboscaini4630]

lock states + performance fx really reminded me of all the hours spent midi mapping traktor''s effects on my very first launchpad

[@chongosaurus2001]

I love it. Total newby and got the komplete kontrol some days ago and new started music production, but this is a thing im looking forward. Loving your products and the support.

cheers!

[@gorkemgulan]

This is exacrly what I wanted to learn!!

[@nonplus1027]

damn! this was awesome. the very first beat at the beginning was dope too btw.

[@DoctorNemmo]

This was pretty instructional.

[@YosiOren]

wow, this is like the effects of circuit rhythm. a very needed feature , is to name the lock state like you can do for pattern and scenes so you do not need to remember ..

[@willtunstall6241]

Clearly like a lot of other people watching this I’d totally forgotten about the lock states page. Think I saw you or someone else mention it in a video a long time ago and I always meant to come back to investigate. I just got into the habit of using the standard lock state and ideas view to edit filters and effects, mutes etc before jumping back to the main beat. The shift+lock page is SOOO much better for that!! Duh! Good lesson to never rest on what you know but keep exploring. Great video as always.

[@lpsc_zzz]

I’ve never used a Native Instruments maschine but really looking forward to trying one out as soon as I can! 🙏

[@NativeInstruments]

Be careful, if you try you might love it!

[@lpsc_zzz]

@@NativeInstruments I’m sure I will 🔥🔥MK3 mikro for fingerdrumming will be great

[@YosiOren]

After getting maschine+ I got mpc live 2 for the battery and speaker. after a week I returned the mpc. M+ is so much more hands-on and tactile. mpc feels like an iPad and a controller...

[@SynthAddict]

great vid as usual - as a new owner of a minty used M+ I'm looking forward to trying this stuff nice jams in there too 🙂

[@mauakatakla]

imagine that lock function + Maschine jam to change scenes and patterns ??? Monster

[@YosiOren]

the support of jam in plus, NI must re-make jam again. I got second hand and love it adds so much to performing on the M+.

[@piotrkowalewicz9494]

So dope !!! I wish I could do this kind of magic on my MK3 :) Great work!!!

[@lnknmusic]

you can!

[@poorhouz5051]

Bro that's dope. You gave me ideas with just my keyboard. Salute dog!! Peaceeeee

[@NativeInstruments]

💯

[@TrevorDBEYDAG]

I love how the lock functions. I'd like to know if there's a way to record this performance as automation? And reuse the performance in the song creation process.

[@djfreaknique1587]

Thanks

[@basgoossen]

As always, great video Jeremy! Thanks for thoroughly explaining the lockstates. I'd wish i could give them a pattern of themselves if you know what i mean. So you could record the lockstate jamming. Bit anyways it's a great feature of Maschine and the M+!

[@NakulKrishna]

This is possible if you connect a midi cable from the midi output of the maschine to the midi input, and then route the midi from a particular group to trigger lock states which means you can record that pattern.. Blezz beats has a video on this if I’m not mistaken.

[@omnione7894]

Great !

[@thim0]

Jeremy, you're the best human being. I havethe Maschine MK3 and hade never tried the Lock states. Here I go now.. I 'm amazed how you can jump cut so many times in the edit and keep your groove going! It must be time consuming to edit it right.

[@thim0]

wait a minute, this NI's channel! Heya! How y'all doinnnn?

[@NativeInstruments]

Wassup all good here 😎

[@mechasartre3694]

Thanks. This changed the game for me. As a first time Maschine user only owning the + and using it strictly in standalone mode, these tid bits are really useful to get to know bits of the device that i wouldn’t otherwise be aware of/become familiar with.

[@NativeInstruments]

Great to hear 🤩

[@DO44INO]

Crazy!

[@madnuts123]

Such an amazing video, keep up the great work :-)

[@user-or3ce4gt2r]

Yes !

[@Beggsnacon]

Hands down best presentation of lockstates on the tube. Would you use it on the master or on sounds instead of only on groups perhaps. How bout using other vst´s/plugins when you have as usb kontroller? Is it any presets for lockstates availble maybe, how about including some lockstates on the expansion packs NI? Soo many possibilities 🤯

[@dadvsbro]

Most educational video I’ve ever seen on the Maschine. You just change my workflow for the better!!!

[@lindasson]

I've had my Maschine Plus for a few months now and I absolutely LOVE it, but watching this video, I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface lol! Dope tutorial my friend!🙏🏾✊🏾💚

[@NativeInstruments]

Mastering Maschine+ is definitely a deep task, but a very fun one! 🙌

[@Beggsnacon]

I beeb using them, but mostly on master and not to this level... This with the SP 🤯

[@edjefferson9175]

Had Maschine since it came out and never tried this. Thank you! Wonder if changes between lock states can be recorded in arranger?

[@Beggsnacon]

can always sample it or send it to other groups 🤔 Blezz beats has a video on that i think

[@pabelobeatz1581]

Crazy

[@NativeInstruments]

Isn't it? 😄

[@japanmania]

Can you sequence the programmed lock states in a 16 step sequencer style?

[@teabreakbeats]

Wish I could sequence these lock states

[@AlexFainDj]

Can you lock a different affect in the performance fx? For eg pad 1 a delay pad 2 a rev pad 3 filter?

[@aaronqureshi5968]

Does anybody know if there's any way to record the morphing from one lock state to another? I can't seem to figure that out!

[@Iredidv]

What sd card are you using Jeremy? Thx. Great vid. 😉

[@abuwabu]

Can you clarify what 'target' mode is doing, and how it differs from 'travel'?

[@RedMeansRecording]

travel is a locked amount of time, target it to target that next division of time as the end point for the morph

[@fergzmack6963]

woulb be great if you could midi mapp the trasition to midi crosssfader

[@motoboy6666]

Can you automate lock-states? Record them into patterns?

[@nickgillies1357]

Not in the patterns themselves - It’s been a while but I’m pretty sure you can trigger them from midi notes from your sequencer.

As far as I know it is not possible to record lock states changes nor put them into song mode. You can just play them live.

[@YosiOren]

@@Melanholix but if you record automation, and use the lock state, won't that record the changes of the effect into the automation?

Same question. Should I keep the auto button pushed while recording the lock states?

[@GeorgeHzMusic]

You can record your audio out into a field recorder such as the tascam or autosample it into Maschine

[@altberg__]

Is this also how you transition between different tracks/projects? I´am new to maschine+, and this is still a little a riddle to me, how is the right and optimal way to do? EDIT: I read over and over that basically the development of this thing is over and there are little to no updates at all and NI is horrible at customer communication about all of it?

[@Ryan-ik2mk]

Can we get some tutorials on like general pop production? Everything maschine is like edm/trap or beats.. And everyone who uses it is doing the above I’d love to see some official content on more mainstream music.

It’s an insanely powerful feature but the fact that you STILL can’t set your different lock states as part of your arrangement is ridiculous. Or name them for that matter

[@fasterdetail]

native instruments are you going to refund the people that bought maschine plus from launch? the price has gone down like 400 bucks..plus no updates to actually program massive fm8 etc.. the gui is not there to even see what knob means what....still unfinished product it seems..don’t get me wrong I enjoy the plus..but you kinda did wrong to the cats that bought the maschine for 1500 when the damn thing wasn’t even ready to work right..thank you for fixing bugs or whatever but the new way of selling products kinda sucks.. you released a unfinished product at 1500..add three updates and drop the price..that’s kinda messed up.. I will keep my plus forever..it’s the last sampler I ever need but it’s a sad feeling.
