Essential Maschine+ Tips, plus my first song in M+! 

Absolutely not my type of music, yet I'm speechless in front of so much musicality. And your skills in explaining things, pointing out the important bits are huge. Thanks for all your videos, it's highly appreciated!

This was golden. Thanks Jef. And a big shout out to Native for keeping the party going with the latest update, new product and tonne of sounds! Much respect from Kenya (Africa).

15:00 pressing the d-encoder (like a button) in the mixing screen toggles between volume and pan settings. Just commenting because it was one I had to dig up in the manual. That send effects tip is gold. Thanks.

This morning I was getting ready to go to guitar center and try to sell my maschine mkii and Kontrol 49 because I have feeling somehow frustrated because of my poor dedication vs time, and your videos gave me some push to wait a little bit more and try again . Thanks for the videos.

World class per usual Jef, love the nu-soulish track!

Very helpful. Thanks! Nice track too!

Your tutorials are the best!! And what a beautiful song too, really impressed :-) Keep it coming!

TY!

Such a great video! Nice one Jef!

😍....hearts on ears. Thanks

Mellow and smooth genre defying track and a masterclass to boot!!! Always pick up tips from you!

The send fx tip is priceless. I'm heading to that video now to get the full scoop. Thanks again, Jef!

Hi and greetings from northern Germany. I just got my Maschine+ yesterday!!!. 25 years ago, I started my "journey" into electronic music production with Grooveboxes like the Rolands MC`s, the old Electribes later on, a 1040ST (with Monitor;) running Cubase 1 for Midi with a few Synths.....all used, half broken.....no money.....no sampler.....used 4 Track Cassette recorders and mini discs:))) so....I learned with toys and instruments:))). My room was always too small:) Then DAW and reliable PC`s kicked in, and the last 17 Years, that was normal for me, beside the external use of hardware. Fine so far, does the job. One thing i always kinda missed, with it, was the flow, the sudden momentum you get, the feeling your created patterns are taking you somewhere, response, interaction.....plaaying...its more a feeling thing i would say.....I'm a professional musician and tech for almost 13 years now, I know all the Maschines and Controllers and Mpc's out there. Great gear all around. But the Maschine+.....I almost fell of the chair after not finding a manual....just a little black screencover, telling me, to switch it on and follow whatever is coming.....and to type in my wifi.....1 1/2 h later, all the free content was loaded onto the device.....me, patient as fu**********************........as I am, after 3rd coffee, restarted it, although there was no need to.....just for the chills.....and put the maschine+ on my bed, youtube on my phone, and after an hour learning the structure....bam....the flow was there again! The maschine structure and the workflow in a standalone unit........ I layed down a few sections until now and did the standalone/controller change......copy, paste, done! Other way round.....done....this is amazing. And....homework for next week....get the Synths connected! The CPU Power is NOT an Issue for somebody who knows how to arrange and / or use sends. Absof....lutely not. If you're used to "....i will just put another instance of this IR reverb on channel 93, just a little duller than the one on channel 67....or was it 4..? with a different delay......whatever!*klick*", ........you might get aproblem there:)))) honestly, I just waited for a MASCHINE to go standalone.......I tried them and worked with them, for me, they always where the most haptic and intuitiv controllers/enviroments when it came down to "write by playing"......Now, I can PLAY without the Laptop!! Thanks, NI! And thank you Jeff, for your well made Videos! If I would have seen youre affiliate link before, I would have bought directly at NI!:))))))))) Too late now....sorry:)) Keep going with your videos! You really helped me save some time!! From Muso to Muso a collegial high five Tim

So much goodness!!! the info , the tips, ...and ....did you teach yourself to play the trumpet??!! Man...give this 40something inspiration with that relevation!!

Great video, great music, thanks for the love!!! And thanks for the mic recommendation!

Maschine + and live instruments is a match made in heaven. Looking forward to see more! Great vid!

You are a fantastic teacher. Thanks for all you do 👊🏼™️

great video jeff my man!!

🙌🏾 Nice! Thanks for the shout out !

Got my maschine + yesterday been jamming on it

Wow, all that practical advice AND time to plug M&Ms, or were those the icing on that color coordination. Love it ;)

Superb mate

cool!!!

When you mentioned Knock, that inspired a hefty chuckle from me. I seen that video and it had me dying lol

This was a great video Jef! Great song too! Thank you!!! I just built a really cool beat using the Send FX tip. Very useful. Hopefully on it's way to being a song. :-)

Your the man!

17 tracks!?! Encouraging indeed. On my 7th track by now, watching out/optimizing what I am playing, on 52% so far :) Mixer diving with knob tip is cool. Would love to watch more educational M+ workflows on arranger, editing, external recording, anything. Its more fun than reading RTFM and inspiring. Smooth jazzzz, Jeff. Enjoyed!

Love the Expo 86 shirt! I still have my coffee mug.

Just discovered your channel and the quality is top-notch! I plan on making some M+ videos and was wondering what top-down camera you used. Looks amazing! Thanks in advance. I'll definitely shout you out in my next video.

I got my Maschine+ last week as well. What a Maschine!!!!

smooth

love the tune .....

I’m gonna need a lot more of these videos

great as always! where did u get the amazing wood casing??

If you made an educational course on the Maschine+ I'd buy it. I am stuck.

Nice video. I have a small mixer (soundcraft sig) that I dedicate as an input mixer for anything I am recording to (like Maschine plus or Mpcs). One benefit is the phantom power, the other is I can leave several things hooked up (guitar, keys, bass, etc). Also, I love the tonal vibe of the soundcraft. Might help some folks...

Off Topic - I have had quite a struggle getting Cubase working on my computer! Your videos were inspiration to me - that Cubase is the right DAW for me. I am new to music production and I am having a lot of trouble with how to use Cubase to piece together a large project, re-interpretations and variations on a popular melody. I am working on a song that has different parts and I intend to create variations on each. My project will be a mix of VST instruments and audio tracks. I am just beginning and will be developing my ideas as I go. So I will want to have, for instance, five or six different first sections that I will glue together with other elements. I need a system to work things out, like a scratch pad where I can save X intros, X verses, X bridges, and x improvisations. I guess it's more how do I develop ideas using my software? How do you go about a large project? Most of the videos I see start with a drum, add chords, etc. This isn't that kind of project. Do you have any suggestions or can you point a finger in the right direction? Thanks for all the great videos that have helped me get up and running (maybe more like jogging - and I fall down often!) with your informative videos.

cool stuff, thanks for the info - just got a used minty M+ and will put this info to use 🙂

Great vid! interested to know where you got the wooden case from please? :-)

Great video! I’m looking at getting maschine+, but I have a question with regards to the synths. When you purchase maschine+, and get Massive,FM8, etc, can you use them in ableton live or fl studio, as stand-alone vsts? Or do you have to go on native instruments webpage, and buy them separately?

Thanks for a great review/tutorial. I have MK3 and Studio so still on the fence with this one.

I 👍 your video Sir. I also like the box your maschine sits in, Where did you get it ?

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jef no green m&m.E excellent information thanks

Is it possible to subscribe twice Jeff?!! These are so great.

Awesome video. i noticed that your Maschine + is setting inside a boxed case, where did you get it and can I purchase one like it?

Awesome video, thank you so much! One question, I couldn’t figure it out and a Facebook group dedicated to this couldn’t figure it out either. When you look at your files, how do you delete a project? Tried everything. Thanks for any help!

AMAZING VIDEO SIR! I want to be you when I grow up

All’s I’ve been looking for is something that will let me tie audio tracks to my Roland fantoms sequencer.. if I record loops on the maschine and have them connected via midi would I be able to launch loops from the Fantom in time?

Sounds like you have a pretty good swing going in that sequencer. That’s interesting 🧐

Hello Jef, Let's say I have my own one-shot samples on a folder on my laptop. Do you know how can I transfer them into maschine plus and load a sound while stand alone in maschine plus. I can do it but I have to be connected to my laptop

@Jef Gibbons you are one of my favorite music producing RU-vidrs easily and also a great teacher. Still student of the game and high video production quality - role model! By the way....I saw a typo in the description on Uncle’s name....so yeah I think you‘ll fix that in a second ;-)

can i sample a one shot chord or bass sample, lay it automatically on 16 pads in different pitches without affecting the tempo? If so, can it play in chord mode?

Hi ! Nice vid! Your piece of furniture for your maschine is gorgeous, you made it by yourself or bought it ?

Fantastic,,,, ✌🏼

Were can i get the maschine holder from that yours is sitting in?

hi ,how can you save samples as loops so they would show up as loops in the browser?

Hi Jef, thanks for this great video! How did you rename the scenes, I couldn't figure it out!

I just got the same mic as yours. But the latest one. How are you boosting it's signal? It sounds super weak in M+. Actually the whole M+ inputs are weak. The MK3 also.

Another first rate tut Jef. I'm feeling so inadequate as an amatuer musician just now :-)

hi Jef, You are a great Maestro!!! Thank you!! Question where can I purchase the wooden maschine stand you have?

Thanks for the great video ! Very nice tips. Regarding creating the FX Send group, what should we expect when exporting the stems of the M+ project ? Will that apply the FX directly on each group stems or will it export the dry signal for each group and for the FX send group a merged mix of any sounds that go through the Aux outs ?

Very nice track. . In fact, most of the tracks you produce on these vids sound fantastic. Any place we can download them? Great job Mr. Gibbons!

No guitar rig! Ugh Oh well, if I have maschine and a guitar in the same room I guess it's not that much of an imposition to have a laptop as well. But will the track sound the same after I go to standalone mode. I would also love to know if this is on their future roadmap for the plus.

When this came out I was a little confused on how to add all my libraries to Machine+. Is this now an SD card situation? Also where did you get that wooden riser for the Machine? I been meaning to ask. Thanks Jeff for always producing good quality videos

My goodness that song at the end of the video is awesome how can i get a copy of that song?

Hey Jeff! 1st and almost thx for your content. I' m still using the MK3. Did your custom stand fit the Maschine+ without any problems? I assume that Prodectors and Decksavers for the MK3 should fit as well with the Plus? Thx P.S.: That beat came out so nice ❤️💨✌️!!!

Jef, does the wood stand still work fine with the plus? Going to buy one from Art and we can’t figure out if we need to modify the dimensions or not. Thank you.

I would have thought that if you plugged a Kontrol S61 into it, that the displays, buttons and rotaries would mirror the ones on the Maschine+ so that you didn't need to lean over to it when trying out different patches. But that doesn't seem to be happening in your video - looks like the S61 is just in generic midi mode. I wonder if they plan that for a future update?

I should have waited for this. I like my Maschine but needing to haul around a laptop to use it anywhere but @home is a bummer. I am seriously thinking of selling my NI KK s88 and my Maschine for a standalone hardware synth. Maybe a Motif? I just want to turn on and play.

Hi. Indeed very impressive. I was wondering to get maschine plus stand - if you tell me where to get like yours i would appreciate. Thanks.

Couldn’t you use a condenser mic with a external 48 v phantom power to go in the maschine plus? 1/4 inch male from ext 48 phantom into maschine plus to a xlr female end going into the mic. Do you think that would work?

Thanks for the content, Jef. I'm way late, but if I don't care about the standalone nature of M+, do you still recommend the Mk3? I'm right on the edge... 😬😬😬 Thanks for all the great stuff you make.

Nice video! Thank you! Is it possible to show us how to change morphing states and scenes in Maschine+ with a midi foot controller ? Nectar pacer maybe.That will be great!!!

🌚🖤🎶

Do the auxiliary sends only work with the internal effects

I’m looking forward for the disk streaming update that will take off the cpu load on the Maschine plus. My prediction with NATIVE INSTRUMENTS the MASCHINE STUDIO plus will be a fully loaded powerful stand-alone with a better cpu and a touchscreen with a XLR input of a price tag $2,399.

If you had to chose keyboard or machine, which would you buy? Also are the onboard sounds the same or different between the 2 products?

Jefrey with One F Jefrey!

Great video. I am an MPC, Akai Force, and SP1200 guy. New to Maschine Plus. I have an issue only with expansion sounds. They sound distorted sometimes. They produce a crackling sound out of my monitors as beat is playing. The CPU will only be at 8 to 11%. All effects turned off. I never have this issue with my own samples in the Plus. Sometimes I can reload the project and it will temporarily resolve the issue. I've tried different audio destinations but can't seem to resolve this. I have seen other users complain about this as well. Anyone able to resolve this? If so how? Thanks for the support.

looooooooooooooooooooooool master

What are the orange pills on your table?

Soooooo, we're not going to talk about the two orange M&M's next to the Maschine+???

Loved the video... Where did you get the wood frame for your Plus... I need one!

Long Mcquade! So you are a Canadian :)

Have you connected to a computer because I connected to the computer, I can't see anything on Maschine +... The screen is in performance mode, I have lit buttons at the top but should I see the same things as you would see on the mk3 connected to the computer...

You would hope now that Machine+ is out and has CPU considerations, they will start optimising their expansion packs properly and not needlessly pile on loads of pointless duplicate reverbs.

Also, UNCLE KNOCK!!! Get on the toilet or get out Jef!!!

Hey sweet Expo '86 shirt! Are you a fellow west coast Canadian? Cheers

:O long and mcquade? you're from toronto???

Mashine + is rare! But I’ll stick with mashine studio. Using shortcuts is a no bueno for me. Just give me a button with what I want. Using shift as shortcut gets ridiculous after a while.

Better not upset the Director Jef as they are usually the Treasurer too :-)

5:30

Its bowm m&ms.

Mk3 gang

M&M's. . . Plain or "Salt Peanuts"? :)

.... Clips Whats your take dude

At least one beard-free YouTubber these days, good shave

Yo, what's good man? New subscriber to your channel here.. Yo! Check it out.. I got a question for you about an older product tho.. and that's the "maschine studio".. if you can help me out with this.. How do you simply arm/light up the next pad so that you can record a sound onto it? All these videos on youtube and nobody's showing how this is done. So I said, maybe he (you) could help me out. Oh! And also, how do you simply record what you're playing? Sorry to ask these questions bro, but the Maschine Studio manual, along with Native Instruments support is " nothing!" So, if you could help me out with those two things.. yo, good lookin
