Hello everyone,

In the past weeks we have been investigating the impact of Apple’s announcement of macOS Big Sur on our products and now have a plan moving forward that will provide compatibility as soon as possible. These investigations have delayed this post slightly, so I am very pleased to share some updates with you today on the next updates to MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL as well as an outlook beyond those updates.

Coming in MASCHINE 2.11 and KOMPLETE KONTROL 2.4

In the coming weeks, before the end of August, we are releasing updates for both applications introducing “background scanning” as a new feature. This update will enable MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL to scan content products in the background while you are using the applications. This includes Samples, Presets, Groups, Expansions, Kontakt Libraries and Reaktor Instruments.

Note: For Plug-In products (i.e. AUs and VSTs) a restart of the application is still required.

These updates will also include numerous bug fixes for both applications, including (but not limited to):

Using MASCHINE as a plug-in with missing content creating a grey rectangle when loading a project in a host application
Files with "#" in the name not being able to be dragged and dropped
Resolving several issues with Komplete Kontrol and Logic Pro X and adding a fix to pedal / MIDI settings


Coming to MASCHINE later this year

In the last months, the team has been working hard to deliver some new features that will enhance the Arrangement capabilities of MASCHINE and that we are planning to release later this year.

The key workflows that we will be introducing with our update later this year are:

Record MIDI notes directly onto the timeline
Freely position Audio Module content (e.g. Acapellas) on the timeline
Add transitions across Scenes or create unique breaks and alterations in Patterns throughout your arrangement
Full timeline content for a group visible in the Clip Editor


Our goal is to make arranging in MASCHINE more flexible and to offer ways to more easily add musical transitions and alterations. While the existing Pattern and Scene workflows are great to quickly create musical elements, the current Song View only offers limited functionality to bring your creation to life.
As a solution we will be introducing Clips.

Clips are unique entities that can be created in the Song View. Unlike Patterns, they can overlap Scenes and can be freely positioned on the timeline. Also, for the first time in MASCHINE, you will be able to record MIDI notes directly onto the timeline, without using Patterns or Scenes at all - if you want to. In this regard, Clips will work similarly to the workflow you know from any classic DAW where you commonly add content directly to the timeline.

You can also use Clips on top of Patterns, giving you a powerful tool to augment and enhance your production.

A few weeks ago we shared our first functioning prototype to our Centercode community and we have received lots of valuable feedback and suggestions so far. We are currently working on the transformation path of turning Patterns and Scenes into Clips. This can be viewed as an update to the previously existing “make unique” workflow for Patterns and will allow you to make edits and additions to a Pattern in a single place without changing each instance of it throughout the arrangement.

Attached to this post you will find some concept art with comments as well as a screen recording of some features we are currently working towards.

We also agreed with our Beta testing community to lift the NDA for this feature in order to allow them to comment on their experiences and help to reply to your questions on this topic.

Please keep in mind that this is still work in progress and in the final release things may look slightly different. Also please don’t panic if you are missing certain aspects - since we still have quite some work to do, not all features are currently visible in the screenshots while others are sketched out but not yet implemented.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best,

Kai

That's me sold, I'm dropping money on this bad boy at the end of the month. It was a close call between this and Push, but this has pushed me over the line into NI's hands

 

Maybe that’s the most interesting part
Still no Paid upgrade is the best part on this Info (hopefully (paid ) 3.0 will take some more years )

 

2.11 came out today :o! Hopefully will get to try it soon!

 

Jesus, what a let down. Still no update to the arranger, just a couple of general bug fixes. All that hype for nothing.

 

Looks what the MPC soft has been doing for quite a while now, visually it's exactly the same. Might finally give maschine a try. Thanks for the info @aymat

 

They forgot to mention: at the expense of system resources. Not good at all. This same feature has been one of the most criticized in Ableton Live. Developers need to give users the choice of using it or not.

 

So much fun loading up the arranger with different patterns,builds and sequences and mixing them in real time. Plus I have a secondary hardware sampler synced midi/bpm to fire off vocal chops and breaks on top of. Plus my turntable,plus the kaoss pad for even more effect mix bliss. Real time recording my hardware analog through komplete audio 6 in maschine is such a breeze setting the bar lengths it knows exactly when to start/stop recording. The take feature lets me to go back and pick my best real time performance as it continues to save each bar recording as the track keeps playing. I started as an fl studio head years ago but creating with maschine is where it's at. Game changer.

 

Nice if they finally improve teh quality of encoders which keep the same resistance longer than a month. At the moment the Maschine Encoders simply suck if you really use them and not just move them once a year
