Maschine PLUS Tutorial - Getting Started, Wi-Fi, downloading expansions, sampling, and more

[@janeway1111]

Oh my God ! FINALLY ! someone who can teach quickly and concisely without waffling ! thank you !

[@derrickdavis2683]

sanjay you are a great teacher you break it all down simple without reading 200 pages that native instruments has you get to the point too much text that does not get to the point you get directly to what we need to do and then read the manual to get more information GREAT job

[@stephenjohnson-knight8501]

I got my Maschine + over a month ago and was getting frustrated on how to operate it. I listened to your tutorial and now I cant put it away from making music. Your walk through are on point and very easy to follow. I will be following you from here on out. Thank you so much!

[@jorcis67]

Darn! I love it when I can see a great walk through under 10 minutes and be able to understand the device potential. Thank you SanjayC

This is very high-quality stuff! I'm not just saying that, because I have seen hundreds. Great job. I think your tutorials are even better than NI's own tutorials.

I really appreciate that, Ronald. Thank you so much for watching.

[@lfstudio1333]

been years since I've made beats... been considering getting the Maschine +. This definitely helps with my decision.

[@georgegeorge4199]

First of all, thank you for the clear and very understandable Video! But. I'm completely new to the whole Maschine+ Thing and was looking for a Video where in can see how to create Patterns, Groups and stuff and then organize them and put all together.. But as i said, your Tutorials are much better than the others i saw. Great!

[@vinylstudi0]

Sanjay, should I buy Ableton Live suite or standard. I am a starter.

Download from crack site

[@SanjayC]

Hi Bijaya. I always recommend Standard for most musicians/producers. It has most of the tools you need to get started. you can always upgrade later. What type of music do you make?

[@maddmugsy]

Looks pretty cool... if only I had $1800 lying around... Is it easy to get songs from Maschine into your DAW? Does it export stems or MIDI or both?

[@SanjayC]

Yes, you can do that when you connect your computer

[@travelswithginafriends206]

Thank you. This was very helpful!

[@jdpower6360]

I have a first generation Maschine and have purchased about a dozen expansions. Can this unit fit that many expansions and can I simply use my Native access to upload them into the unit?

[@musicmanifested4558]

That beat was really great! Well done Sanjay.

[@SanjayC]

Thanks so much!

[@aniruddh_d16]

Nice video. It's raining already and I'm not going cycling as I am working on my sample pack. I have a question. Was the beat in this video using only Maschine+ sounds?

[@SanjayC]

Almost. I added the CZ-101 synth sounds recorded into Maschine+ as you'll see in the video and some vocal chops to it. But all the other sounds came from inside Maschine+ with the included sounds.

[@aniruddh_d16]

No, but just connect your midi keyboard (like i show in the video) and you'll have real piano keys!!

Great video. Just got Maschine + as a Xmas gift. I am new to it and an avid producer on Logic Pro X as my DAW. However, I cannot get to install Maschine in my DAW so I can use it as MIDI with the included presets in my projects. Is Maschine + designed only for Standalone

[@SanjayC]

You can use the Maschine software on your computer - both standalone or as a plugin. I've done it. Make sure you download Native Access from Native Instruments and install the Maschine software on your computer.

I dont have a smart phone at the mo so could i set the machine up with out the QR code and what happens when you buy each pack or bubble from the native instruments website does that go straight to your machine and midi keyboard.

[@wiederwissen6124]

Very basic and short video to get an overview. Sadly you don‘t answer the main questions I have with maschine+ . Will it be possible to design synth sounds from scratch in standalone or can we just load presets? Are four displays usable with komplete s keyboards? How good is midi sequencing?

[@SanjayC]

Yes, you can design from scratch. You have all the main controls for the synths, so just reduce any filters and lfos on a preset and you're starting from scratch

Hey man love the video, quick question, can you manipulate the sound to be more expensive without permanently changing it. For example, if I had a certain tone I was working with and wanted to make it gradually build up over time

[@sonexcellencea]

Hey Sanjay is there what are the differences between the Maschine Plus and the Mk3 ? I'm about to buy one of them

[@SanjayC]

Maschine Plus allows you to create and play music without a computer. But you can also use it with a computer. The Maschine MK3 needs a computer connected all the time

[@sonexcellencea]

@@SanjayC Thank you so much. Since i am mostly working from the studio i will purchase the Mk3 then if that's the only difference

Hi, is it possible to record in 3/4 time signature, with the Maschine plus? From what I have seen/read so far, seems can record in 4/4. Or just the tempo track/metronome is limited to 4/4?

[@Weareroses]

I’ve been trying to make up my mind on a Groovebox/ standalone box. I really thought I wanted a live two, because of the speaker and portability tbh…. However watching the workflow on this especially in this video, is really swaying me.

[@chandeleerjet5637]

Thanks! Do you know if it's possible to delete all of their content and just use my own drum kits? Since we can't just keep an SD plugged in and use sounds that way, I'm afraid I will run out of space and not be able to use all my drums

[@muhammadabdulaziz3865]

GREAT VIDEO

[@h-dawg969]

Do you have to download expansions, effects etc each time? I’d rather keep all my expansions and effects etc on a harddrive as I plan to use the maschine plus when I’m away in the van, so only got phone internet. Cani have all my native instruments software on external hard drive, or does it have an sd card slot?

[@zmmmzmmmz]

No you can use a large SD card and/or USB mass storage, it's more like a mk3 with a limited laptop inside

[@KunchangLeeMusic]

Do you know if the cpu crashing issue got fixed with the latest update ? That’s the only thing that’s kept me from purchasing this thing - it seems to be a common issue in all the forum threads

[@felttipprick2279]

Hi Sanjay, I've always been attracted to the original Maschine and it's great library of sounds. I bought an MPC Live because of the workflow and ease of creating sequences that I could manually switch from one to another seamlessly, creating actual songs. Does this product operate like the MPC in that regard? Or is it more of a loop layering / overdub beat maker, that cannot play pre made (created) sequences in the order that you want? Thanks, Fred

[@SanjayC]

I think the Maschine is really great for switching up things during a live performance, but you can certainly trigger sequences with it and play through a whole song.

[@ParisSanfasteryler]

Does the Maschine+ support phantom power?

[@SanjayC]

No phantom power....I wish :-)
