It's fast and fun. You can get ideas up and running in a heartbeat. And, even though it only has "one" knob, it's a lot of fun to tweak.projoosa wrote:Anyone new maschine mikro users fancy sharing their initial thoughts on it ?

The Mikro can't launch VST GUI's from the controller
You can't record automation from the controller
I still have my M1 so I don't miss those things. Those limitations aren't deal breakers for me
Beat me to it! I'd really like to see these questions answered, too.Destro wrote:djadonis206: Thanks!
Two more questions:
1) You mentioned that you could do some things quicker on the Mikro than on the M1. Could you give us an example or two?
2) Based on the NI tutorial videos, browsing samples on the Mikro seems a lot more cumbersome. Any comments on this?
Really appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions.

Maschine only allows 8 macro knobs per group. You cannot fully replicate the functionality of Maschine with a Mikro + 8 knob controller.23kon wrote:But you can record automation from another controller.
A novation Nocturn is a good shout as it has 8 knobs/SpeedDial/Xfader/8Buttons and Automap software allowing you as many pages (in user mode) of 8 pages as you like. Plus it's about the same size as mikro.
I wasn't meaning using a Nocturn or other controller to replicate the functionality of the knobs in Maschine.lethal_pizzle wrote:Maschine only allows 8 macro knobs per group.

I don't mind clicking the mouse as part of my 'workflow' so it's no problem.lethal_pizzle wrote:I'm with you. To my mind, mapping the automation to MIDI macros etc would take away the immediacy of the workflow.
In any case, Mikro lacks an 'autowrite' button, I can't see any way of recording information from your controller into a pattern in Maschine (you have to click on the outer ring of a GUI encoder to record automation at the moment), so you'd be restricted to recording the automation into a DAW instead.
You cannot even currently record automation from an external controller using Big Maschine, you can only record automation from the 'origin encoder'.
