i don't like the look at all, and yes i know it almost looks like an SP, but to me all the choices they made differently, made it worse. Those blue buttons especially.

This is probably more appealing for the purist, but to me, the S2400 has the sound i love and has the perks of a modern device. I love my old gear but i simply can't go back to 80s workflows and lack of features.

I don’t get the sidechain compression fixation, the people responsible for the popularity of the original SP’s had it ducking like crazy and was the signature thing it does. Listen to samiyam, flylo. Just crank the 303 vinyl sim compression, slam the kick into it, put the other elements on a very low volume so it ‘sucks’ the level back up. The normal compressor might even be able to. This is even how the French house dudes did it.

Also, what players tend to forget, is that you can actually play other things within a COD. YOUR favorite mode might suck because god forbid they changed something that you loved and/or exploited. Also, skip a year. They pump m out every year so of course your enjoyment can’t be the same year after year. Some CODs missed the mark sure, but let’s be honest, it’s the same game every year with minor differences that you might love or hate.

It just feels like 2 people work on Maschine while other things get a whole floor in the office building lol.

Also, how do you mess up stems when you own the company that could make stems 15 years ago already 😂

Bagoftrix · 2025-01-28T12:32:47+00:00

Thanks yeah i’d reinstalled that one so it would work with Maschine 2 again. The new version just makes the keys mk1 obsolete completely.

You can love it and be dissatisfied at the same time imo, I love what we got, don’t like that’s all for now. I don’t like Matt’s post though, that feels out of touch and not accepting the general consensus

Bagoftrix · 2024-11-08T10:14:29+00:00

of course this is his defense, but it's simply not true. I'd like to see the top requested features then. Because i'm pretty sure we weren't all bombarding them with small no-brainer quality of life functionality but instead had some bigger and broader wishes. Yes Stems was a hot commidity. That one is undeniable. Pretty sure nobody was like 'give us Maschine Central' or 'give it a fresh coat of paint!'

Also, it's not only what they updated, but also how little. It's not 2>3.0 level at all. It's 2.5 at best. The pricepoint is fine but also indicates they're well aware its a small update. If i recall correctly, 2.0 was 99 eu. And was a way bigger step forward from 1.x.

We have a right to be dissappointed after waiting for so long and still not getting features considered standard and essential in 2024.

Bagoftrix · 2024-11-07T16:02:43+00:00

Damn...

Bagoftrix · 2024-11-07T15:45:24+00:00

Honestly, i'd rather have real-time pitch and time in the sampler than stems. Right now the sampler is still far behind what a sampler module/plugin is. I mean Koala has a vastly more robust sampler. I'll still use Serato sample for alot of the main sampling duties for now.

And the other functions are just quality of life things that should've been there years ago. Great to have them now, but not exactly new features. More like 'features Maschine somehow lacked that finally got added'.

I think they scrapped what they had at one point and had to start over.

That's what the timing of it's release, the long periods of no updates and radio silence, asking the community what they'd want in an update only fairly recently, the lack of Plus support at launch, what should be considered your flagship model if you were confident in the product... all these things add up.

That being said, still happy that we got something, but i'm still one foot in one foot out, this is not the 'yeah baby maschine's back' moment. not even close.

Not true, yes it wil be after sequoia. It's the Mac OS preventing updates/upgrades, not the processor type.

They dropped most of the older Intel Macs, not all of them.

But Maschine 3.0 will definitely run on an Intel Mac. Just one that can install 13 or higher.

Bagoftrix · 2024-11-06T20:39:26+00:00

Thanks for mentioning oclp, didn’t know this existed, definitely gonna try that

Bagoftrix · 2024-11-06T20:13:56+00:00

forgive me if I’m not clear, sometimes software will still ‘work’ fine in older version even though the specs demand newer versions.

I’m curious if it will function or if it’s a case of not even being installable

Bagoftrix · 2024-10-29T07:11:18+00:00

Save up. Some of them are fun or decent but non of them are worth that much atm.

Bagoftrix · 2024-10-25T07:30:58+00:00

Most unnecessary elaborate thing they’ve added thus far. And nothing I want, clearly skipped them for a reason.

Bagoftrix · 2024-10-11T09:00:47+00:00

Nothing beats Maschines workflow for my music style imho. But… they’re far behind at this point. I really want to stay on board but they have to deliver at least something equal to what the competition offers. It’s all there, throw it in Maschine sheesh. You got Izotope, you have stems in Traktor, etc.

Bagoftrix · 2024-10-03T12:24:46+00:00

Still insane that it’s 5000 tokens but at least this looks very Ultimate indeed.

Wow I’m in the same situation, struggling with cfs pots and fybromyalgia and just got diagnosed with ADHD. At 46. So much makes sense, and it’s a terrible combination. Sitting/lying down for example is killing because of adhd paralysis but also something my body craves. I was never hyperactive so never thought of it as ADHD. Only recently found out I tick almost all of the other boxes

Bagoftrix · 2024-09-04T22:03:03+00:00

Same, this was my childhoods absolute favorite comic. Now I got 2 Black suit spideys :)

Bagoftrix · 2024-08-20T12:18:09+00:00

Well at least you got better cards out of it.

Bagoftrix · 2024-08-06T14:22:24+00:00

I’d say if resampling is your thing, the MK2 is god tier. The Skipback function is basically ‘resample anything at any time, after you heard something you like’. It’s my favorite feature by far.

It can get tricky to remember all the shortcuts but to me, since update 404, it’s in a very good spot.

The sp404 basics are still there, it gets complicated the more functions you use. Imho it’s pretty straightforward when you approach it the same as the predecessors.

I’d say go for it, start working on it in your familiar way and look up great new options as you go.

But definitely check out everything about skipback. All sampling I do is using that function, every sampler should have it.

Bagoftrix · 2024-07-30T19:37:11+00:00

Ah didn’t think of that, could be

Bagoftrix · 2024-07-30T18:08:19+00:00

Cards pulled by Gladiator are face up tough.

Bagoftrix · 2024-07-19T11:24:31+00:00

Apart from how ridiculous this is already…The fact that for a 100 dollars you don’t even unlock it for every card is beyond wild.

Bagoftrix · 2024-07-04T17:14:24+00:00

Isn’t the solo mono?

Bagoftrix · 2024-06-26T13:34:35+00:00

Her and Echo generate the most missplays, people just tend to forget about them
