What’s new in Maschine 3 software | Native Instruments

[@NativeInstruments]

Hey everyone, we hear you! We're happy to share that some of the features you've been asking for are on the way. Two major ones to look forward to are Custom Chords and Parallel Plugin Scanning. Stay tuned for updates.

[@beatprocess]

[@woofer8395]

Midi Routing / FXs. Best workflow in automation and presets type ShaperBox 3 😉... Thanks NI. 👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@NativeInstruments]

What DAW are you using?

[@LamontFleming-x5j]

​@NativeInstruments Fl Studio and MPC X now. After this I put my MK3 anS keyboard in the closet. Im done with your company. Its embarrassing to tell someone you produce with Maschine:" 😂that company...oh no. I like their Komplete Suites tho. I use MPC tho so I prolly wont buy it. But yea, that company is too inconsistent.

For Christ sake you guys gotta upgrade the automation and arranger view. It is INSANE how you guys haven't touched either of these things. Disappointing. And I'm not usually the type of person to comment and complain but man, its 2024...Get with the times, I can use 3rd party plugins to stem separate. I don't really care about that.

[@SeanMadden]

I would assume that these things will come in additional 3.0 updates. As far as a 2.X to 3.0 update, I think the features they've added, show that they are beginning to finally listen to the community that uses their products. Your complaint is valid, but at the same time I feel optimistic with what NI added to this update, shows the areas they know they need to improve in to keep up with the times.

Goddby NI ...You've lost your track. Basicly Maschine 3, Kontakt 8, Komplete Kontrol 3 are becoming the same thing. But none of them gets really pro inproovement. NI has ignored its customers sugestions for too long.

[@preppybeats]

@@dariuszwojtulewicz2759 its becoming the same thing because i think we may see a full daw from NI finally, hopefully to rival ableton and others. And they have their own ecosystem of tools and sounds. This is a good thing. I do get it about losing a few things in the process, but this is progress.

[@dariuszwojtulewicz2759]

@@preppybeats Your poin is correct but its so many brilliant daws on the maret and NI was something different. Now its not. Those who bought very expensive NI controllers are left alone with no support. AKAI took parto of them ane now the rest leave.

[@Phadddy]

I'd love them to become the same thing, incl. Guitar Rig, Massive X, Traktor and the Izotope products. Then Maschine would leave Akai in the dust.

[@jkq2006]

​@@preppybeatswe don't want a daw! We want a groovebox with modern sensibilities. There are so many daws out there, that's why maschine's approach is appealing. It's so fast to create idea with but would be even faster with automation curves etc. let's hope they can implement such things. Stem seperation is cool but serato samples implementation is more immediate plus there's real time pitch and time stretching all wrapped in one plugin.

[@vznquest]

What a disappointing update. Still love my mk3 but losing my faith in NI.

[@palimo3653]

Yup. My feelings exactly after watching this and before reading the comments.

[@julienDrcq]

[@-zoave-]

Me t'oh.... So disappointed in NI...

[@johnrockatansky2913]

Can you explain why?

[@NakulKrishna]

Pros : - Stem separation seems to work really well based on this example. I didn’t think it would but sounds great. Not something I use but who knows when it could come in handy. - bounce in place is a great feature imo, can see myself using this a lot. - midi tools are a welcome inclusion. Cons: there’s a whole lot of these. - no upgrade to how arranger view works? Seriously? - no automation upgrades? - 3 chapters of 8 or so dedicated to new sounds(completely redundant), integration with another device and a “fully redesigned interface” that basically looks the same. - nothing new or interesting, nothing innovative. - no modulators - no new hardware(to be fair this software upgrade doesn’t need one) - no follow actions for scenes, no automatable arming of clips for spontaneous scripted looping performances. - no improvements to browsing capabilities. Verdict: Good thing this is only a $29 upgrade?because it’s honestly barely worth that. Features we’ve been waiting for years are ignored in favour of chasing other companies to include current fad features. Like who thought we needed maschine central? Aren’t there enough sound pack expansions already, why would this even need to be included as a highlight in this already minimal feature list? MIDI tools great, but didn’t see the possibility of even vertical zoom on the piano roll. Where’s modulators? Tempo per scene as featured addition? Seriously? Super underwhelming upgrade and I really hope you guys have a lot more planned for maschine because at this point it almost seems like you started working on this upgrade 6 months ago if that. Expected more with the tie-ups to other big companies. Please give us a roadmap for what’s to come because this ain’t it NI.

[@sockeye]

Maschine Central is probably there to help subsidize the low upgrade price, with the low upgrade price offered as an olive branch to a long wait time for less than expected updates. I think the update is solid but missing a few items I really wanted, which hopefully are added in the next transit updates.

[@SiakaKeita-tr7eu]

Agreed was very underwhelming

[@AchillesxHeal]

I didnt even see this but I posted something similar. Its definitely lacking...really disappointed

[@Santanin_a]

and also haha you have to still go to do undo manually when you use it as vst

[@julienDrcq]

absolutly agree with you

[@Qbit.Plicherss]

we have been waiting 10 years for this ? Do we have to wait another 10 to see some new tools and bit more than new look ? No option for Round Robin when you put more than 3 sounds on a Pad ? I was hoping to see some fresh stuff cause i like maschine very much... but it looks like i got same thing but in the new package... insted of revolution we got small evolution ... That is the reason why it cost 29... and a flagship maschine + was not even mentioned... ehhhhhh... :(

[@winning24]

It's time to boycott native instruments they are way too slow in development other music software are now light years ahead, machine is old and outdated relic of the past

[@Houseneggah]

Just play chopped samples over a beat regardless of the key the sample is in - or out of. Amaturish . Tgey shoukd have completely overhauled the sampler. It isca "sampler" grove box,right? This is laughable music production...or,actually just beat making.

[@Houseneggah]

@andrepaul9856 this is a "take money from suckers" grab

[@Russplight]

Wow, I usually don't leave negative comments, but this was a sad day for NI. 10 years we waited for 3.0, and got outdated updates and a project launch with no enthusiasm or excitement. There are obviously some internal issues with NI that is causing the lack of development with Maschine. I'll finally make the jump to the MPC key 37.

[@theopinions47]

I saw the writing on the wall and bought an mpc one plus

[@hpitura]

yeah, probably like two devs working on the project. or old code base with high technical debt they are not inclined to invest into any longer.

[@drewskee1753]

I'm glad NI finally came out with an update after 10 years but man they are behind. Stem separation is cool and all but we really needed a good piano roll (like FL Studio) and better automation control.

[@johnloden5701]

Native Instruments doesn't have something that surprises me every time they release a new product like Apple. This is like watching a video of a minor update from 10 years ago. There's no freshness or surprise, just despair.

[@batuacar8389]

Duuuudeee where is the automation update? Waiting for that curved automation process to come and seems like there is none. Waited this for years and I feel disappointed

[@RubenNeubauer]

Yeah

[@lost_valley]

Fine tune automation like that is more mixing sessions, Maschine is more for music ideas, I am not dissapointed

[@JamesLavinTheOnly]

​@@lost_valleynot at all, there is an arrangement view so you'd expect to be able to automate transitions and such. You could also use it creatively for unique synth modulation in a loop... Currently you have to freehand or live-record. Seems like the easiest thing to implement.

Bruh! Why?? Is NI even listening to us? Stop playing catch up! Maschine Plus was underwhelming, now Maschine 3.0 too? 29$ for stem separation? I could just separate it in a DAW and import. Editing tools should've existed at least since Maschine Mk3! Bounce in Place is the only one i wanted! And most power users are disappointed!! Give us more! Everything you're providing us is available in a DAW! Maschine has the potential to be incredible! Every maschine forum has a million suggestions! Atleast allow the users to come up with our own plugins like Ableton Max for live!

[@basscut]

Great point and also being able to use warp marker when in Stretch mode

[@substance90]

So wait, am I seeing this right - basically none of the ideas that the community selected as highest priority on the NI forum almost a year ago got implemented, instead we get stem separation? I guess the new MIDI editing tools could be seen as part of the "Sequencer & Pattern Editor" idea, which did get the highest vote, but these are all clunky mouse tools for the Maschine SW. Maybe I missed something but imho what people meant was better MIDI editing on the hardware, not in the software.

[@skagboy]

[@palimo3653]

@@skagboyyes I was thinking this limited midi editing is way too time consuming

[@scyhte82]

Welcome to NI. That's how they've done it since 09 with Maschine 1.0: They bait people in by promising features that they then - if ever - implement in a way absolutely no one asked for. OGs remember the time stretch debacle.

[@getfmlr]

@@substance90 it's 3.0.....the zero being first....lay the ground work and uplift parts of the UI to make room for additions. Just because something gets the highest votes doesn't mean it's easy to do or implement within a release timeframe. Often with software and hardware integration you take a mix of quick wins and sprinkle in one or two risky features with releases.....no different here. The hardware after all hasn't changed.

[@JamesLavinTheOnly]

​@@getfmlrlaying the ground work would be starting off with some major rethink of how midi gets handled. These are all superficial, extraneous features.

[@LostTouristOfficial]

Makes sense to add stem separation considering it’s already included with traktor 4

[@scyhte82]

There would have been tons of features to add that would have made a whole lot more sense for a groovebox kinda thing like Maschine than stems.

[@rickydelaper9818]

[@LostTouristOfficial]

We need the ability to lock sounds and patterns within a group then be able to change to another kit to replace all other unwanted sounds!!! Please enable this feature!!!

[@NakulKrishna]

Such a cool feature it would be if it was possible

[@LostTouristOfficial]

@ yeah the work around is just by creating other groups with kits and copy and pasting across until i have drum group I’m happy with.

[@matnetik]

Definitely a dope idea

[@getfmlr]

Jeff Gibbons has already shown you can keep patterns and change the sounds to a different kit. The art about locking individual sounds though...not exactly....you could select individual pads and replace sounds within that category using the browser.

[@LostTouristOfficial]

@ yeah it’s about keeping the sounds and pattern. Then switch to another kit so it adds all new patterns for the other sounds to fill out a drum kit and so on and so on like all other samplers can do. The example you’re referring to will replace all the sounds which i definitely don’t want to do as I’m building a drum group of sounds I like. For example checkout Aglonauts Atlas.

After all these years, there is STILL no support for Midi FX routing??

Great features but still contemplating because some of the features found elsewhere in AKAI and Ableton are now in the ecosystem I'm most comfortable

[@blaablaa22]

I know this might sound like I'm being a bit entitled here, but I really don't feel this being a paid update. Could've easily be a free 2.19 update to be honest, as the Stem Separation is "just" a the same RX application they already added into Traktor as well, so not like it's a tailormade thing for Maschine. Kinda expected 3.0 being somewhat "more", like what 2.0 was to 1.x. Sure these features are kinda nice additions and I bet for some they're totally worth the 29e/$ update price. But for me, as I'm not a "sampling beatmaker", this just isn't worth it, not even with the low price of 29e/$. The "tempo per scene" is the only feature that I might use in some projects, all the other are just something I honestly don't need. 2.x works perfectly in my setup and for my use case and thus I prolly will just stick with it until something gets added what I REALLY need. What really disappoints me is that there is absolutely nothing added to make Maschine a better live performance tool. It is already awesome in that and the reason I love it, but there are so many things that could be improved on that area... and it's not the only area where NI could improve Maschine a LOT, but haven't done so. This all said, I'm not totally lost my hope as this is at least an opener and hopefully an indication that they are still working on Maschine. So, let's see what they will add into 3.x after a while. But for now, I think this is a pass for me.

I already have a DAW that does most of this. Someone help me understand what value this software brings to the table.

[@sockeye]

Like asking what value a guitar or piano brings. Maschine is a performative powerhouse similar to an instrument with the added bonus of unlimited sounds and getting a track 85% completed.

[@critical-thought]

@ The more I look into the NI product line, the more confused I get. All I saw was a DAW.

[@doctorsynth1]

The only thing Maschine software brings is integration with the Maschine hardware controller, which eventually will be end-of-lifed.

[@critical-thought]

@ Thank you for the succinct and informative reply.

[@andersistbesser]

Maschine brings ZERO to the table what ableton live cant do and live does it better.

[@aaronmyrie]

Well, I'm grateful for what is here.

[@BENNGIIE]

What I wanted was to be able to perform my tempo and scene changes and for that to be made into song mode. Is that possible with this new update??

[@iloopi6024]

so many years for this? LOL

[@xxJILLZxx]

All i wanted honestly ,, having the ability to see other midi notes while on another instrument ,, sort of like the FL piano roll ,, thats all i wanted ,, and in the official discussion forum ,, thats all everybody wanted 🥺😢

[@june7th795]

I've been waiting for this update since Maschine one 😂🎉

[@jonathanscarletmusic]

So, it does mpe right? Like, the big new feature on the mk3 keyboards, that can be used now in maschine? Surely?

[@jonathanscarletmusic]

and no demo? Can't even try it to find out? That said 'basic mk3 integration' does not sound promising. MPE hosting is really the only new thing I would want from a maschine update. I mean, bounce in place nice, but really not essential given the everything samples everything workflow.

[@NativeInstruments]

Polyphonic aftertouch isn’t supported just yet, but it’s definitely on our radar.

[@jonathanscarletmusic]

@@NativeInstruments This is good to hear. I've upgraded as a vote for progress! Look forward to future updates.

[@woofer8395]

Uhmmm excellent, please, aftertought in Mk2 ...🔥👍🔥...

[@Prqalex.69]

I've just bought it and... WHERE IS MY FULLSCREEN MODE ???

[@NativeInstruments]

Hey! Are you using Windows? There’s a known issue with full-screen mode right now, and our team is actively working on a fix.

[@untoldstory176]

The new update after more than 10 years.. This is only a Cosmetic update, NI has turned into a sample bank seller ,) Fact that you still CAN'T copy & paste clips anywhere in the song window is very disappointing. Native instruments seems to be operating short staffed...thats what it feels like anyway. I know they had to layoff a lot of staff few years ago. I don't trust them for the long run. they are a bit slow with the development with Maschine .

[@Jason75913]

Y'all seem to be having trouble with Maschine development. Have y'all considered making Maschine open source and asking for help? It would speed things up a bit and attract more people. 😉

[@woofer8395]

I hope they hear you, it would be good news for a much faster development.

[@davidpatterson4547]

NI, LISTEN TO YOUR CONSUMERS!!!!

[@NativeInstruments]

The features in Maschine 3.0 are a blend of community requests and our vision for the Maschine experience. Is there anything specific you're missing?

[@davidpatterson4547]

@ good morning, definitely. For starters. waiting for 10 years for this microdose of updates is not something we appreciate being charged for. I think we all agree that we were hoping for better automation choices and a way better arrangement window by now! We need you to make editing and arranging and pitch and real time stretching a way easier experience. Exporting MP3 files, the ability to chop up the sample first, then separate the stems,

[@xoxoliver8383]

@@NativeInstruments Your vision doesn't correspond to what users expected ... !!!! Are you really sure that you have listened to what the community has been writing to you for so many years?

[@samdavid3829]

Its time for Native Instruments to develop and release their own DAW

[@Jason75913]

They are having trouble with this groovebox software and you ask for a full blown DAW?

[@lukayoutubuka]

Love the upgrade! Also white Mašina is beautiful! I wish there was white version of s series keyboards…

[@SeanRaine]

im half happy. the note preview and midi upgrades are nice.

[@TP_LANDSCAPE_PHOTOGRAPHY]

Hi can you use only the software and has adjusting knobs on it or do you have to run it through the maschine like fade in fade out Thanks troy

[@NativeInstruments]

Hi! You can definitely use just the software, but the workflow is much smoother with the hardware.

[@NativeInstruments]

Speaking of which, there's a deal for Maschine MK3 at the moment: bit.ly/4iMpkGa 😎

[@trackmusic252]

the main thing yall forget to mention for us machine users we have built packs, sample folders, kits and now all the icons or pictures are gone. that's a no GOOOOOOOO

[@davidd5403]

Even if I already have iZotope RX, Ozone 11, and so on, I love the Maschine 3 update and I’m okay with paying 30 USD for the upgrade. However, I don’t understand why you still haven’t added the audio quantize feature for recorded audio. This is something we really want! Cheers.

[@NativeInstruments]

Glad you're loving the new features and thanks for the feedback!

[@carlosp.1846]

Please somebody tell me, can I finally zoom in the editor using the trackpad with two fingers ?

[@einsam514]

I can't seemed to find any info on NI's website or elsewhere yet. Does anyone know if there's a time display in the main arranger window? Or is it just Bars? The current solution for me on Maschine 2 is to find out tempo and bar calculator online to get the duration of the track I'm working on. It would be good to know if Maschine 3 has a Time Display so you know the duration of track you're working on instead of estimating the number of bars based on tempo.

[@park171]

Hope they implemented time correction variable. Also ability to change time signature in each pattern.

[@RonaldMark]

I just installed the new Maschine 3 but not all of my expansions that I had installed in Maschine 2 is showing up in Maschine 3. I went back to Maschine 2 to see if they are still there and they still are. So I don’t know why some of my installed expansions like Rolling Tides is not showing up in the new Maschine 3. Is anybody else running into the same problem? What do you do to fix the problem?

[@NativeInstruments]

Hi, could you please get in touch with our Maschine support team with more details ? You can contact us via chat here: bit.ly/n1msc

[@gortizramos]

The lack of compatability with Maschine mk1 and mk2 is a concern to all of us. Including those of us who have a newer version. Why would anyone keep investing into maschine when the competition gives you a product that you could count to be upgrade despite is age? Worst yet, the flagship controller komplete kontrol is not fully compatible either.

[@mbf6160]

Does this allow you to export out to MP3 on your completed track instead of wav’s I be wanting to mix master and export out without having to do it in another DAW… I really wish maschine make this daw a one stop shop where I can cut vocals and complete a full song switching daws gets annoying after a while 🫤

[@NativeInstruments]

Hey, we understand your interest in seeing Maschine grow into a full DAW, but its design has always focused on being a creative sketchpad to complement your workflow rather than replace a traditional DAW. Exported files are currently available in .wav and .aiff formats.

[@gordowebb9910]

Went back to 2 where everything works. Thank god I still have it. Why does 3 not have any construction kits with the new library?

Hi! Are you looking for Maschine Central?

[@gordowebb9910]

Excelente video y muy buena explicación , amo Native Instruments y mucho mas Maschine mk3 es mi cerebro en cada obra que hago paz hermanos

[@706erRick]

So can you install 3.0 and still keep 2.0 also... don't wanna replace as of yet and is it true that the Mk2 keyboards will not work with Maschine 3.0...!?

[@superdisco101]

Yes, you can keep 2.0. and still works fine. After a test run, i can cofirm, the mk2 Keyboard is also still integrated in 3.0, but you have to check the midi in box in the preferences. Otherwise you dont get note signals from the s49 Keyboard.

[@NativeInstruments]

Yes, we can confirm that Kontrol MK2 keyboards are compatible with Maschine 3.

[@706erRick]

Thanks guys I'm enjoying the new Maschine 3.0 update so far had to figure some things out!!!​@@NativeInstruments

[@Phadddy]

Why did Maschine+ get Kontakt with some of the factory library and then not most or all of the Kontakt factory library 2? What a tease, I bought Kontakt 7 in the hope of it. And why did it get Raum, but the not most if the other Traktor and Guitar Rig effects? I thought they would have added that within the past 3 years by now to M+, that's what it.meant to me, Kontakt and Guitar Rig in a standalone box 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@555crix]

Perhaps it’s just me but I am trying to get accustomed to Maschine SW since years but it‘s so counterintuitive in so many ways..also the integration into other DAWs is really cumbersome..this SW update doesn’t seem to address any of those issues I am facing 😢 mk3 remains unused in 98% of my projects as it just doesn’t fit my personal workflow..
