I would also love to see that creation!phil909 wrote:2be wrote:This sounds more like a hardware issue.
I'd contact NI tech support and tell them about it!
BTW, I'm currently working on a Ableton Live set that makes it easy to play chords & inversions of one scale on the Maschine. What it basically does (please correct me if I say something wrong, I actually have little to no idea about music theory):
1. You hit a pad in the keyboard mode of Maschine group G, sound 1 (that's what I use at least)
2. MIDI notes gets sent from Maschine standalone to Ableton Live standalone via MIDI (using virtual midi cables like LoopBe / MIDIYoke, the built-in Mac OS X feature for that or a plain old MIDI cable)
3. Ableton Live translates each pad note into a chord
4. Chord is sent to Maschine group C, sound 1 (that's what I use)
5. Chord is heard in Maschine. No need to exit the Maschine standalone!
This happens nearly instantly (there is a tiny delay of a few ms, but quantizing by 50 % just once will fix that).
The pads are laid out that every uneven pad (e.g. 1, 3, 5, ...) plays a 'normal' chord (like C, D#, G), while every even pad (e.g. 2, 4, 6, ...) plays an inversion that is within the pitch of the sourrouning pads. You can select which inversions you want on the even pads in the Ableton Live set or by turning a knob in the custom Maschine controller template.
As of now, I only have chords mapped out with 5 notes (I think they are called ninths? Like C, D#, G, A#, D) and the matching 4 different inversions on each even pad, as I'm really into these jazzy Deep House chords. I may add triads and sevenths if someone could use that.
It's really easy to jam around and try out chord progressions, even if you know shit about music theory
this sounds right up my street - care to share the set?
I saw that too, and it's interesting, but:humnumb wrote:well well well... this is getting interesting. Just "leaked" from the NI headquarters in LA:
"Understandably, none of these are in any way confirmed, but a "strong hint" was given of the following upcoming products:
-Traktor continuing to grow into a looping/quasi-production environment, ala The Bridge
-Native Maschine drum synth
-Maschine timestretching
-Maschine as a full DAW
-More Maschine Expansions
I suppose most of these are pretty obvious, excepting perhaps Maschine developing into a full DAW. Apparently, back in the early 2000's, some of the lead people from NI left to form Ableton, because they wanted to make a DAW while NI wanted to focus on instruments. Interesting that we're coming full circle - I'm interested to know what you guys think about this."

Maschine is already 64 bit and has clip automation recording. This will push it ever closer into the DAW category and could develop into an actual full NI DAW going head to head with Live along with Bitwig Studio. Wonder if that means we might eventually see Reaktor 4 Maschine?
i know about music theory and it's a great idea! would love if you could share your template (or just tell more about how you did that)!2be wrote: BTW, I'm currently working on a Ableton Live set that makes it easy to play chords & inversions of one scale on the Maschine.

I didnt make it. Just sharing it.23kon wrote:delicioso,
That is one excellent maschine template you've made there.
I'm not a maschine owner but have considered getting it in the past and keep my eye on all the templates etc that folk create. Yours seems the most simplest and common sense without un-needed nonsense.
