love mine and use it in a similar way - also for DJ sets through ableton - with the crossfader it's pretty damn close to the old school mixers like you say! simple is sometimes best!

hi, great tutorial! thanks!!

Nice, I like! Nice melodies! Just finished.... great track man!

Can you apply multiple effects? or du you have to choose only 1? What If I Like distortion and delay at the Same time?

Cheese Louise!!! It appears everybody has their panties in a bunch! Relax everyone... everything is going to be okay. NI and the Maschine + is going to be alright. You all can look at it this way... NI prioritized the desktop software first, whereas Akai prioritized the standalone firmware and no MPC 3 software update mentioned. The Maschine + still works, as far as I know. I'm sure more improvements will come in due time.

nice man

Is that the new standalone push?

Maschine has a better workflow and easier to understand than an MPC. I have an MPC X SE and Maschine.

If you juste ear this withou context is very strange 😵‍💫

DISTORT THE DRUMBRUTE! RAGE!

Which Korg Volca is this?

I think you're absolutely right I expected more from Mashine the software and it never came. Until the paid update. Disgraceful! I bought Pigments from Arturia 4 years ago, it was V2. They've just released V6 and the updates are still free. Arturia updates are always big updates on their synths (Microfreak/Minifreak/Polybrute/VST/etc) and yet Arturia is a small company compared to NI... NI is too voracious!

It has some limits, but overall is fire and and can achieve many tasks.

I would jump for joy if they ramped up the potential for Standalone & allowed users to record their live jam / sketch song ideas directly into the Arranger, using the mute & sample Pads + Group pads... Etc... ~ ( We have been waiting so long for a significant update to the UI & Software... ) ~ There is an update coming apparently, but I'm worried it won't offer what pure Standalone users have asked for...

youre right. i often feel this way but i dont delete... i wait a couple of days and come up with a new idea and put it in the song. that helps a lot

I know I'm 3 years late to the party but I hope you made this into an actual track... Excellent work....

Akai will always be a Legacy Production Tool. It’s the Alpha and the Omega. But I love all the others. Except teenage engineering.

Tbh what synth these days isn’t a good combo? So much fun, cheap stuff out there…

Its normal to get that, especially with the workflow of starting with the drop and doing subtractive and additive arrangement, once you have this you need to make the transitions buildups and breaks more interesting create some atmo's and try to create extra tension. In ableton people often say go to arrangement view for producing, session view is not important, however starting in session view helps you create a track and get a feel for the arrangement much better and it more fun. Try session view bind the session lanes to some drumpads on your midicontroller and start jamming....its quite nice....

An amazing tutorial and very helpful thank you!

flickering screen is the problem

It’s over thought. NI will just make a few extra bucks from Akai….

Sound designers and other producers complain to me that NI was too closed off and that's why they preferred Akai MPC Beats to use for business. But now they've opened up and think that was the thing that I kept hearing repeatedly about NI. What are people complaining about? Not having a touchscreen? I most definitely enjoy the fact that it doesn't. I also have to say that the clip mode upgrade was definitely a way to complement DJing on the maschine with that Ableton push feel. Sample/Audio per sound and real time stretching ability is still alot more that was given to users with no hesitation. I guess touchscreens is next?

Now you know how Reaktor users feel ;)

Nice

I would not say that NI is doing anything wrong here. Collabs with other companies can create a massive profit and promote your products. NI refreshed their Traktor software (which we waited for so long for that everyone forgot about it). Maschine can wait for a while, you will get a new one a few years later. Let them focus on the DJ software and hardware first for a couple of years to get back on track.

Noooooo 😡 I put a lot of thought and research into deciding on purchasing my Maschine plus instead of buying the Akai MPC one. After that kick in the guts I should’ve got the Akai

Native instruments use most of its resources last year to work on the new Komplete Kontrol keyboard, Traktor and kontakt 8. From what I heard, they will now focus those resources on a new maschine hardware unit.

they have released sound packs on that platform, not like N.I are involved in developing their shit, but i do agree i was expecting more from maschine 3 update, like sorting automation out, PDC

Very well explained. I fully agree with you. When sitting behind a DAW, I noticed that my mind get distracted by all the options (like unwanted notifications, lights that ask for you attention, lists to choose from, etc) and that I loose the feeling that I had in the first place of the sound I want to create. When only using a physical 🎹keyboard, it gives a limitation which prevents my mind from being distracted, which keeps me in my flow.

NI been on the downslide since they spent 2 years of dev time focusing on creating a splice clone and integrating that with maschine. Writing was on the wall then.

One of the most innovative NI's tech - Reaktor - hasn't got an update in 5 or so years. Add to that their new intarfaces, which are not good. I recently decided to upgrade from my Komplete Audio 6 Mk1 (2011) and thought that Mk2 (released 5 years ago) would be the same but with 2 headphone outs which I desperately need. Almost bought it blindly, but noticed an oddity on the front panel. Long story short, the new intarface doesn't allow direct monitoring on outputs other than main 1-2, and both (!) headphones are hardwired to the same outs 1-2. Channels 3-4 are useless. And on top of that their Windows driver was outsorced (panel looks exactly like Behringer one and some other low budget interfaces). The main reason why KA6 Mk1 was so good is their Win driver which was developed in the house. I couldn't believe it. Went with Arturia Minifuse 4, which looks and behaves like spiritual successor to the KA6 Mk1 more than NI stuff itself. And Maschine software v3, which was a paid upgrade, is disappointing. They stopped developing synths, hardware, stopped making effects, all they do now is sample-based instruments for Kontakt and cross-promotions like this one. But yeah, they bought iZotope, I guess.

Akai is listening to customers? lol not even close, there is a lot of disappointment in mpc user base, they released the 3.4.1 and have almost all the bugs that the beta had.

Nonsense. Why people are so upset, because NI and Akai created a deal to have a small amount of the NI library on Akai MPC. You make out, that MPC has Komplete Ultimate Collectors edition, or that NI will be selling it off to MPC at reduced amounts. The libraries in the MPC are really very small, really small, which is why they are about $35 each. It's just a means of NI, to get its sound on other devices and then perhaps have those who use MPC to consider buying one of the more expensive Komplete series for their computer/DAW. It's strategic.

It was a deal. NI gets to sell more midi controllers with MPC adopting nks. And MPC gets some sample tools not on m+ from NI.

I guess there are two possible ways now.. 1# native instruments and akai came together for the fight in the marked (ableton as the enemy), they work together on a new device to save the marked. 2# native instruments let the hardware go and focus on software only in future, they sell to akai and take a part in the marked.. i have no other answer for the move they do 🤷🏻‍♂️

@1:41 🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂

This could well turn out like Sega … It doesn’t seem like a good sign, put it that way … My understanding is that these Play series are pretty limited engines? If so, not as bad a sign as if they were offering their best stuff on MPC … I’m not familiar enough with either MPC or Machine, though. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I dump AKAI due to there lack of support for MAC

NI seem to think that providing 144 sounds from the Play Series as part of the Maschine Central library is compensating for the release of the actual instruments on MPC.

I'm a machine users that's had moved in to Akai ,but news flash most of us never used these sounds or plug ins at all ,sample and chop always

MPC is a better platform right now, at the same time that Akai is getting showered with praise the Maschine community is overwhelmed with disappointment

NI ported their code to ARM Linux (MPC). Therefore, they can bring a new Standalone RaspberryPi-based device, like Ableton Move, or Maschine + v2 on ARM platform.

what?? stop crying ! they are expanding! there will be a new update coming soon

I think the Sega analogy is pretty accurate. And... well, with all the political talk of tariffs and trade wars it makes sense to move away from hardware that has to be manufactured and shipped from overseas. Expanding their software / IP collaborations also makes sense. I think not having a rebate / discount plan in place for existing NI customers was a bad move on their part though. As an MPC user though, I eagerly picked up Nacht and have been loving messing around with it today. :D

Exactly the same situation than it was with Kore back in the day. NI just stopped developing and supporting it.

Good video... that's unfortunate. As a synth nerd, i'm disappointed that NI has become just a preset/samplepack factory. I can only wish, and i know this is too idealistic, that if they're gonna be releasing their sound packs and expansions on other platforms, at least they should improve integration between Reaktor and Maschine, so that it's easier to take advantage of the hardware and develop our own instruments for it.
