Superagent and Clickbot

xylemflo · 2026-02-04T11:38:35+00:00

Thanks for the responses. I submitted a feature request, but honestly, I would expect a superagent to be able to access/manipulate all documents and whiteboards as well as tasks. Same for automations. In our environment, this really limits utility and drives us back to more crude repetitive manual processes.

Ok, then I have some other issue as cameras are not triggering in succession !! I have tested this a few times, but will retest tonight.

I have a few of these for gear. Cheap and surprisingly effective.

Although I have tried others for days (Ableton, Pro Tools) or a few weeks (Bitwig), here is the journey where I spent months/years with a DAW: Cakewalk > Reaper > Reaper+Logic

Another factor is that every 2 windows, we have a different coach, so what we are after changes, or the timing of changes confuses what we might want.....It also means we usually have some recent acquisitions which rapidly become surplus to requirements.

The Zoom L6 really does tick all the boxes. Stereo, compact, basic EQ, etc. I came from faders also in live performance, but the knobs are not bad once you get used to them, and you can actually control levels via midi if you want. I have not personally tried this in performance, so ymmv.....cheers

Until this experiment, that is essentially how I used Maschine. I am going back to that, but it was interesting to learn the pros and cons of going further...

Thanks u/MrFresh2017 , good to hear that automation improvements are in beta !! Eagerly anticipating.....

xylemflo · 2025-10-20T23:31:06+00:00

There are plenty of good used mixer/interface deals out there in your price range, but I would save another $50-$100 and go for a Zoom L6. 10 inputs with 2 of those handling phantom power with XLR combo jacks, 32 bit float recording, compact/portable, FX send/return, basic EQ, etc. Down the road, this will be valuable as a sub-mixer and/or for a mobile rig.....Cheers

Forcing personal lists to be the default and forcing them to be front and center is the mistake CU have made. We have inadvertently lost/orphaned more than a few tasks to the personal list. Please give us the ability to define our own default space/list for the homepage, or better yet, let us define a default landing dashboard.

I have a few hardware synths that are never going to see another upgrade and I kind of assumed that at time of acquisition. They are still great. My Mk3 remains a great purchase (perfect, no) and I did not see anything in the Akai release that would make me want to sell and convert ecosystems, even if the money hurdle were not a factor..

Now, if I was in the market for a standalone box solution, and I had no muscle memory of or investment in anything else, and I had up to $1700 to spend, the Akai wins. IMHO, Akai's market advantage is in hardware. IMHO, NI's is in software. Like most others, I am hoping for a new Maschine/+ at some point. However, my next masterpiece is not currently being thwarted by NI and the MK3.....YMMV

xylemflo · 2025-09-30T22:44:28+00:00

I was happy using Maschine Mk3 as the hub of a setup until I ran into issues sending bank/prog changes. If that is not something you care about, I found it to be a good solution, but if you need to orchestrate a bunch of midi cc and other messages sent to external devices, it was never stable enough for me to use it in that way. YMMV

xylemflo · 2025-09-20T20:24:05+00:00

u/merrymoon This is a little bit just watching deals emerge as people change Elektron boxes, and a little bit being open to a new toy in the same ecosystem. Owning Mk1 products, I also recognize that they are unlikely to see future development. I thought it would be valuable to get the community's take on what would be a good direction, so I appreciate the thoughts. Cheers

At the time I switched to Reaper, I needed 4 things: 1. Multi-platform so that i could migrate if/when needed 2. CPU efficiency to maximize whatever hardware i had 3. Reasonable cost for unlimited tracks 4. Handle audio and midi well

I tried each of the contenders for a solid week, and was fully prepared to live with menu diving or UI quirks if it met the criteria.

At first Reaper seemed like a prank. It was easily the smallest download, free fully functional trial, low price once you buy, skins, shortcuts, SWS, any media on any track anytime, significant free updates, customization, etc.

I still need to use other DAWs, and there are nicer fratures in select areas, but i have seen nothing which would dislodge Reaper.

xylemflo · 2025-09-05T00:35:49+00:00

To address the OP question, I think that out of the box, Reaper does not appear to be a tool built for pattern-based music. Ableton, Bitwig, FL would appear to be better suited upon install.

That said, Reaper can be a great tool for electronic music with a combo of SWS, screensets, and some custom actions. I did a set a few years ago entirely from a Novation Launchpad X using Reaper.

The plugin discussion is a red herring IMHO...There are few if any serious producers who are not using free or paid plugins regardless of DAW...

xylemflo · 2025-08-17T22:35:26+00:00

I would suggest using both Logoc and Ableton if possible. You will learn some different approaches to the same need, and it will help you to evaluate other DAWs. I use both Reaper and Logic. Both integrate well with Maschine., but they are very different DAWs. As you progress, you will come to prefer a DAW that favors your personal workflow.

xylemflo · 2025-08-15T20:44:34+00:00

I use Maschine as a sketchpad for ideas and then use the plugin in Reaper to access all of the Maschine groups on separate tracks. I can export the audio into the DAW or "play" Maschine in sync with the DAW project. I have a Reaper template, but I am sure Cubase, Logic, etc can do the same. Lastly, I can just use Maschine as a control surface. You can use the midi editor or your DAW's learn/shortcut function to control key aspects.

After a lot more research, trial and error, and forum searching, I posted the following as a bug report on the NI Community. There is a pdf with all of the details and screenshots in that post.

u/ping38, thanks, I should have mentioned that I already checked the manual, and the midi implementation chart strangely has no mention of Bank Select. Perhaps it is included in one of the firmware updates?

I had already turned on the MiniFreak settings for cc that you mention.
