@echoopera can you export stems from maschine+? thanks
I had read somewhere that Ableton has a push standalone in the works.
Now I just had my first hour with maschine+ and never had a machine b4 coz I despised ni after they abandoned kore.
Unpacking it reminded me of an apple product and my first impression is that ni wants you to buy into their universe.
My second impression is that it reminds me a lot of beatmaker3. But while I never got along with bm3 having tactile pads, buttons and encoders is a lot of fun with this maschine+.
Is Aftertouch restricted to just the Arp modes?
Is AT data recorded into the sequencer?
Cheers
95% ain't bad I'd say
Although I give it a 100% since I spent so much on it
Sweet.
All 8 I/O show up from my Scarlett audio interface hooked up on my USB Hub and into the M+
Fuck it I copped the One. I had to flip my OP-1 for financial reasons but can sure pull off an MPC on the 12 month payments! Keeping my Blackbox as my

I would have put Maschine+ on plan instead but it really is too big for my studio. I have just enough room
To use the MPC One to do the bulk of all the work and no extra except for my small ass shit like blackbox and mini 5
Had an unexpected windfall that nearly covered the price of the Maschine+.
I saw that as a sign from the universe that I was meant to own one.
Bit of a long initial learning curve but have spent some time getting my head round it over the weekend. Lots of little touches that take time to discover and haven't quite got there with song construction yet but overall I can see that this is a better purchase, for me, than upgrading my iPad at the moment.
Has a good balance of immediacy and not having to feck about too much.
Good stuff for sure!
These updates are just icing on the delicious cake for me
What does this mean? Is it worth getting one of their keyboards for?
I just think it means you'll be able to take advantage of the Scales, Chords and Arp modes on the Komplete Kontrol devices. Right now they are ignored. FWIW, I'd get a Novation LaunchKey MK3 since these modes work stand alone and can be used with the Maschine+, iOS, and all your regular synth gear in stand alone mode.
The KK devices are great if that's your main mode of playing keyboards with your DAW, but if you don't have one now, the M+ works fine without them, and for extensibility sake, the Novation LK MK3 is better since the functions are available stand alone.
Thanks @echoopera
Was mainly wondering whether they were suggesting that the Komplete Kontrol features opened up anything useful. I have an older Novation keyboard, the Impulse 25, which is ok for now if a bit large for my desk space.
To be fair, I had a great time playing a piano on the pads of the M+ for a couple of hours at the weekend.
i'm getting gas here. Thinking of flipping my mpc live. for an mk3 or m+. The MPC is amazing at chopping, I've had it 6months, and I've learnt loads about sample chopping with MPC tutorials online.. AIR effects are good, multiple outs are useful, a fat 1TB SSD of samples has ok management of files, included drum packs are solid... But I hear the chopping is great on machine, and you also get kontact and reactor..
But so many things don't sit well with me, it's workflow involves jumping through different windows continually having to click multiple buttons (unless you have a mpcX), everything is seperated, and the pads suck, it's not a live performance sequencer, lack of disk-streaming makes multi-sampling or clip-launching useless, the bugs, unflexible sounding synths, opening projects taking too long for a live scenario, the looper is very basic..
However, the MPC is very tactile at working with samples.. If I could work out portable file management on ios perhaps I should be looking at BM3 or a DAW on ios to do my chopping up of breaks and sample snippits?
Does IOS / AUM work with M+ audio over USB?
No, wait for next updates (if any) since it has automation issues and other unfixed bugs...for slicing it crashes on large audio files , autoslice has limited range of sensitivity , small slices crash BM3 if you reverse the sample...
You could find a used MK3 and check the workflow . If you like it ,then you can grub a MK3+
I was looking at MPC Live but went for MPC One for the buttons (and cheaper) ,although I'm sure the portability of the Live must be great
I’ve got a Maschine that needs to go. PM me if you’re interested.
Mmmmmaschine...
@echoopera I have so much GAS I’m gonna explode!. Can you or anyone with experience on the M+ assist?. I was drooling over the Akai Force, but it’s just too big and heavy, the M+ looks a lot more manageable for sofa playing. Few questions:
Thanks!
By limit what do you mean? 2GB total in audio tracks? I haven’t fully explored this but i haven’t hit any walls yet with what I’ve done.
Yeah. This is a lot better on the M+. It feels more like BM3 if you’re familiar with it.
Yep. I use the M+ to sequence the iPad. You can then route the audio out of the iPad and back into the M+ via an audio interface and sample until you run out of SD card space or get bored sampling.
For what it’s worth i have the Maschine+ and the MPC One and i love the M+. The MPC One is nice but i only kind of like it and the workflow. The M+ is straight up flow flow flow all the time for me.
Here’s a pretty good FAQ from NI:
https://yelismar.github.io/videos/watch/maschine-frequently-asked-questions-native-instruments
That’s the amount of RAM. I can’t find the exact info but it seems like Maschine+ loads audio into RAM as well. The Force has 2gb ram, after the OS and everything else there’s about 400mb left for audio, that’s 20-40min per project for all audio (depending on who reports). Since the Maschine+ has 4gb of RAM it should be able to handle a lot more audio. That I know of, the only “similar” products that stream audio from disk are the Octatrackt and Deluge.
I can see how sampling works, but what about effects, like resampling?. Let me give you an example. I play guitar and would like to use iPad amp sims like Nembrini. Can I record “dry” into the Maschine+ and then route the audio to the iPad with the amp fix and back in to Maschine to resample?. I’d love to know if this is possible without an audio interface as I’m looking for the most portable and less hassle.
Thank u!!.
Rookie question, but if one is only interested in synthesis (for drums and otherwise) and has no interest in working with samples, is the Maschine+ or the MPC One worth it as far as a standalone unit?
I think the MPC doesn't have full synth engines in standalone mode, just when it's plugged into the computer. The Maschine+ has a bunch of standalone synths that you can use without a computer like Massive or FM8 so I assume for your specific case the Maschine+ is more suited. I'm not an MPC pro though, maybe someone can shed some more light on that.
It does have 3 synths plus a drum synth (at some time later it will get another synth which is currently available only on the Force ) , but M+ does sound better.
@FloRi89 @Korakios Thanks for the answers. Very helpful!
Another option would be the Force , still no better synth engine but the clip recording/launching thing on 64 pads might be tempting , especially if you have plenty iOS synths and/or external hardware
The M+ only has one L+R Audio In so you can only capture 1 signal at a time...so this workflow wouldn't work. You'd have to record either Dry or Wet into the M+
The onboard effects are pretty great as well.
Have you seen this video...it's not a Guitar, but it's pretty freaking amazing:
Yes I had seen it, extremely skilled musician. But I can’t stand him! 😳🤣 the slow-mo hair moves, the way he lays back while he talks... I can’t finish his videos!
Yes, I read about the single signal at a time for recording. But I was actually asking about “reamping” or applying external effects after recording. Send the dry recorded audio out of the M+, process it with external effects and record it back in the M+.
I’m about to pull the trigger... gas, gas, gas. I’m a bit frustrated with iOS DAWs and the missing bits for a fluent AUM workflow (audio clips in my case). But, who am i fooling, basically it’s gas...
Thanks!
Just hit play and put the browser in the background...personally I just love seeing the fluidity of the looping workflow he shows off...he definitely mastered the device for Live Performances...which speaks volumes for the device IMHO.
It's a very capable piece of hardware. I don't think you will be disappointed. You could always go the Maschine MK3 route, connect it to your desktop DAW...and if you enjoy the workflow, return it, and buy the Maschine+
FWIW, I went head first on the M+ and just love it, and honestly, I am the only bottle neck when it comes to using it...I have a whole lot to learn and grow into with the M+
I got the Mpc one 2 months ago. Stil figuring out if I could easily do a stand alone live act with it for 4 on the floor beats.
I was considering selling it and gettin m+
I wondered if any Reaktor plug-ins could be run on it.
