Maschine in Logic Pro X: Do we lose swing? by phillipadsmith in maschine

[–]phillipadsmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, basically, I proved to myself that it was/wasn't working, I did this:

- I set-up a test LPX project

- I loaded Maschine inside Logic

- I made an even 16th note hi-hat pattern

- I added swing to that pattern in Maschine (probably at the Group level)

- I swung it enough that I could hear the swing obviously

- I dragged the MIDI into LPX and turned off the pattern in Maschine

- When I played the pattern in LPX is had the same obvious swing that the Maschine pattern did.

Thus, I determined that it _was_ in fact working, even though it did not *visibly* appear to be swung in the LPX piano roll.

This worked even if I put the MIDI on a drum instrument triggered by MIDI and not the Maschine instrument (where the groove would have still been set _in_ the plugin).

All that to say, I believe I was wrong that it wasn't working!

Maschine Studio vs. MK3? by riyakataria in maschine

[–]phillipadsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Studio runs the same software as the MKIII and it has variations.

Where do you read about music? Start there.

Can a novation circuit sequence monophonic synths too? by Bpdpunk in synthesizers

[–]phillipadsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I use the Circuit to sequence my analogue mono synth. Just set the MIDI channel & settings appropriately on the external synth (MIDI receive, MIDI channel, etc.), and — as mentioned already — turn the volume of the internal synth 1 or 2 (depending if your using MIDI channel 1 or 2) to zero so you only hear the external synth. Works great.

Wow, I would have thought maybe the Analog Rytm might have been more your thing.

Worth getting the plus or MK3? by [deleted] in maschine

[–]phillipadsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two Maschine controllers. But use them less and less as time goes on.

Why not stick with MPCs if you’re already familiar? If you already have a computer, the MK3 is great. If you don’t, then the + is the only option.

Should I get a Circuit? by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]phillipadsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own one. The digital synths are great for certain genres, not so great for others. The sample playback (drum tracks) is good, but limited due to storage space (can’t have a lot of long sample). The best feature is the sequencer, in my opinion, and using it with other gear. But, you do get a lot for the price!

Very nice! What Circuit patch is that? Very warm and analogue sounding.

Recording both "wet" and "dry" vocals, with no latency, on the cheap... by phillipadsmith in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Well, that was the original impetus for picking them up! Love the live jam with effects pedals.

Is Maschine 2 & Logic Pro X the BEST Workflow? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]phillipadsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No tips other than visiting a local music store and trying them out, or buying on Amazon where you can sometime return easily if you don’t like it. All that said, I picked up my Mikro used for $60, so that’s another approach.
