![]() (Ableton, Push 3 – with audio, please?)įorget all that shifting around. If the Ableton Live template is as good as the one on Jam, my Ableton Push may cease to leave the studio. 24-bit / 96kHz, though of course we’ll need to test the actual quality. So, the big thing here is, now you get all the workflow power of the Maschine Studio, all that ability to focus on the hardware and not look at the computer screen, but in the MKII footprint. Too big to fit on my studio desk, too big to fit on a bag. I love Maschine Studio – the high-res color screens make sample slicing and production far easier. The screens are great news, especially on Maschine. These look gorgeous, clear, and bright, and they have incredible viewing angles (like you can practically lay on the floor while you play). It’s really a class act, even as some big rivals in this field leapfrog one another.īoth get big, color, high-definition displays. It’s tough to overstate how much more refined these two instruments look and feel. ![]() ![]() Here’s what’s changed:īoth have terrific new industrial designs. No major new software revisions (though more minor stuff to cover separately) – this is mainly about the hardware. Komplete Kontrol, while a subtler update, goes from being a keyboard with some extras on it to something you’d actually want to use for finding sounds, editing sounds, recording takes, and even working with your DAW or Maschine. And it packs the best pads and control layout yet. It requires looking at your computer screen less, thanks to the displays found on Studio. In short, Maschine Mk3 is now the only hardware you need, thanks to built-in audio. But here are some important things to know – having at least met with the teams that developed the gear and gotten a quick hands-on. We will have a review unit in next week, and you know I like to get in depth with how machines work. My guess is the Maschine MK3 and Komplete Kontrol MKII will make a splash, precisely because they seem focused on how these two users bases work. And for hard-core Komplete users, Komplete Kontrol saw some popularity, though perhaps didn’t radically transform workflows. The MKII, with color, better pads, and better workflow certainly had some people selling their MKIs. Since then, few pieces of hardware have had quite the impact that Maschine MKI did. Maschine was built with software and hardware designed in parallel. This was the year the APC40 and Launchpad had just hit the market – without a screen, and at that point with only limited control capabilities. It’s funny to think that back in 2009, the first release of Maschine really set the bar for integrating production software with a hardware controller. Here are some early impressions of what’s new, in advance of our review. They contain 3 tabs: one each for Maschine Plus, Maschine MK3 and Maschine MK2.Native Instruments just revised their Maschine and Komplete Kontrol hardware. ods files contains simple spreadsheet templates for import into most of the more common spreadsheet apps for further formatting, editing, printing. midiremote file is for import into the Cubase MIDI Remote. ncm2 file is for import into the Native Instruments Controller Editor App for use by Maschine MK2. ![]() ncm3 file is for import into the Native Instruments Controller Editor App for use by Maschine MK3. ncmp file is for import into the Native Instruments Controller Editor App for use by Maschine Plus. Here is the ZIP archive: Jef Gibbons template files for Maschine Plus, MK3 and MK2 Notes about the content of the archive: They are free to use, but no technical support is provided. The good thing is, that they can be easily customized and changed to your own ideas and workflow. So these templates are probably not at all logical or useful for your music making workflow, and you may wonder why anyone would even make them like they are. Each of us believes that “our way” is the truly best way of achieving results and we wonder (sometimes even out loud), why anyone else would do things differently! Working with a DAW is a highly unique experience for music makers, each having a unique approach to using the tools at their disposal. While the original idea of the video was to help viewers make their own customized configurations, Jeff decided to share some of the template work he did for the video. Jeff Gibbons on YouTube: Cubase MIDI Remote using Native Instruments Maschine On March 20, 2022, YouTube creator Jef Gibbons published a video showing how to use some of the Native Instruments Maschine controllers with the new MIDI Remote feature in Steinberg’s Cubase 12. ![]()
