Maschine Auto Sampler: Should you get a Maschine? 

I usually hate tutorial videos because people spew garbage. I don't even recall Jef begging for likes and subs in the video like most people. Class act.

I've had my MK3 for about six months now. It's a great tool to have, even though I do not use it to its fullest capacity. As a guitar player my Achilles heel was always programming drum beats to play along to. Sure there's the Logic loops and software drummer, but I've found by the time I find a loop I can use the inspiration is gone. The MK3 has allowed me to quickly create a drum beat to jam along to. It's a great creative tool that allows me to do get my ideas down quickly.

Now Custom Chord Sets would be awesome, that's a great idea!!! Thanks Jeff I just upgraded my MK3 to the Maschine Plus

Your videos are one of the highlights of my weeks!

I just LOVE your studio! (and thank you for all your vids, they are so very helpful)

Great Video Jeff! It has been added to my fav videos to rewatch more than a few times.

Always appreciate your videos/tutorials Jeff, thank you!🙏🏾✊🏾💚

Please NI, yes! Custom chords!!

Jef I really appreciate your upfront honest suggestions. I still have my original and it's still getting it done and since I use the computer often there is no need for me to get a M+... though I would love to own 1. Thanks as always help those of us that need it

Comprehensive, as ever Jef!

This is huge. Great explanation as always.

Its like going back to the days of CDXtract and Samplit. Great video / explanation!

Instant click!! Thanks for keeping us updated!

Diving into "Essential Maschine Pitch Shift+Timestretch Masterclass 2021". This is easily the 4th time & it will be a very good day!!!

Hi Jeff. Great video, very helpful. You mentioned about custom chords, it will be nice to have this feature or maybe just more chord sets from NI 👍😊

Now that’s coool Jef 👍🏿

Great video Jef and nice new feature...would love to upgrade my mk3 to the plus but just can't justify it atm

Thanks for another great video! This feature must be fantastic for saving patches from Eurorack/modular systems!

Great vid as always Pro Jef, I haven’t gotten the machine yet and I’m really still thinking about it and I agree with you custom cords would be nice but the main reason why I haven’t pulled the trigger yet on the machine because I wish they would upgrade the software to have a dedicated audio tracks.

Custom chord sets are exactly what I want too, but at least 6 notes chords and a way to save per preset! Detailed tutorial!

Thank you for all Maschine(+) series. I bought one recently, learned so many cool stuff about it from you and finally started to make use of its cool features in my music. NI guys - please add custom chords capability :] It would be so nice to have it too.

Hi Jef, I’ve been watching your videos and subscribed to your channel for a while now. In my opinion, you really do have the best Maschine tutorials out there and I have seen tons! Lol Your explanations and your style of teaching is so clear. Thank you for all that you do. Your content is awesome. I have a Maschine Studio and have been trying to find reasons to switch to MK3, but it seems that everything can easily be done in the software already. I have a UA Apollo, so I don’t necessarily need the sound card interface. Touchstrip is nice but also accessible through the software. Am I missing something? Lol I would switch if there were a few great reasons to do so. 🤣 I’d greatly appreciate any feedback on this. Please keep up the great work! Can’t wait for more Maschine tutorials! Thank you! 🙌

Thank you! I would love a follow-up where you take the samples into Kontakt and make an instrument with them there!

Hey 👋🏾 Jeff, really nice 👍🏾 bro! Question when will 2.15 be available for Maschine + standalone??? 🤣

They finally released this new feature? Something i’ll probably never use but it definitely sounds useful. Creating my own patches like this is a ton of work and id rather be making music. Its why i buy sample packs and synth patches. Ive recently taken to programming sounds in Vital which is fun but overall i tend to stay away from things like this because its always so time consuming.

Outstanding Jef, outstanding. This is going to be super-useful for me as I've got the Make Noise 0-Coast & Strega on the way (don't ask - I don't know where the money's coming from but I know where it's going to..) so I'll be doing some major sound design with a view to sampling them into Maschine. (+ sequencing them with the Toraiz Squid via CV). Should you get a Maschine? Absolutely. I've had stuff by Moog, Polyend, Elecktron.. all sold, but I would never sell my Maschine MK3. That combination of hardware and software capability is unbeatable (IMO - obviously).

Jef this is a fantastic walk through. I didn't realize how much sampling ability Maschine has. Agree that the Loop stuff needs fixing. There needs to be a few points: Start, Loop Start, Loop End, Play to end. Also having auto fade in and out choices would be useful too. How does one sample physical instruments. I assume that you don't use auto sample ?

Ah yes... coupled with a remote script for Ableton and this is another reason to be on the fence. haha... thx Jeff!!

MPC is killing this

Thanks for all the great tutorials - Ive been watching your vids in anticipation of my Maschine+ arriving in a few days. ❓ Question: To cut down on CPU i would like to sample a reverbed synth pad loop on M+. (I like to strickly do asynchronous space ambient so lots of oads and lots of reverb). The problem is that with a long release on a pad, to create a nice seamless loop, the tail end need to blend in with the slow attack of next loop start. What is the best way to crossfade the loop start/end points? The audio editor does not have a paste mix option - which is how i do it now on my audio editor - but the point is to get away from the computer and work in the M+ exclusively. Thx

CUSTOM CHORDS - YES! And preview of midi files. VST3 HOSTING, want my Reason Rack in Maschine among other things.

Hi, thanks for the great videos keep them coming! I’m planning to make the Maschine Mk3 the centre of my production workflow. Here’s my question. I want one device (maybe the Erica synths fusion box) with some analogue effects, a filter, gain, delay to pair with it. Can I use the internal synth engines from NI, route the audio out, through those effects and re sample the effected audio as an auto sampled new instrument? So I could create a library of instruments with that analogue goodness baked in. And then is there a way to route just one group to outboard gear so I can use the analogue filter on that sound (without effecting the whole track) like an effects loop assignable to a specific group essentially. Sorry for long comment! Keep it up. R

2:45 we need a Maschine Studio MKII 😉

Great video Jeff. A question: for save only the sound, make whit autosampler, I must choice "Save..." or "save with sampling"? Thanks !

Excellent content. Thank you for reigniting my interest in my MK3 and JAM combo. Do you have a video that shows how to use the MK3 with Ableton?

What about the Mikro Mk3 is it the same?. Can't get enough of your tutorials Jef thanks....

Thank you so much for the video-I bought a maschine Mikro-3, used because I wanted some form of modern sampler-still though, it has quite the ecosystem to learn-hopefully this will help. :-)

Excellent content Jeff, My Maschine Mk3 Crashes on me sometime, How did you fix your?

Took the plunge and grabbed a Maschine Mk3!! the $100 off plus 4 free expansions finally pushed me over the edge. Now off to go and rewatch all of Jef’s Maschine tutorials and see if I can figure this thing out. Oh, and if Mk4 comes out in 2 weeks everyone can thank me then. Haha

Nice video. My first wish is that NI debug this M+, I would like to be able to use it in standalone without any crashes, it's shameful to wait more than 1 year to have a stable firmware.

Thanks for the video! Great feature! But it's a total shame a leadership sampler like Kontakt doesn't have this auto-sampler function. I hope now they incorporate it into Kontakt as well.

You didn’t mention that they are also giving away four expansions for the mark 3 and eight for the plus

Hi Jef! I know this is off topic question, but maybe you know how we can manage our maschine plus internal library? For example I need delete a lot of massive presets and samples, because few thousand it’s to much. And for optimisation of my workflow a want to keep just useable samples, presets and sounds. I know that I can tag it as a favourite, but I have a reason in my work flow, that is not good for me to tag hundreds presets. It will change for me feeling of device like more custom and my own. I know just we can reinstall whole library, but in this case a lot of my favourite presets will be delete. So I really want to send message to native instruments give us opportunity to manage our library or just delete unnecessary presets and sounds. What do you think? Thank u!

Hmm no, coz you can run synth as VSTs and they are gonna sound way better than a sample. Yet yes, you should still buy a Maschine coz they are fun to use and you can find many used for cheap :)

When sampling the Polybrute, you mentioned it can only sample one voice? There are 2 layers on polybrute, can you sample both, or only 1 at a time? Also if you connected a pedal to it, could the maschine auto sample both?

I heard that something new is coming. A standalone Komplete Kontrol.

Hi Jeff. Tried the affiliate link for the MK3 but ended up with the standard price - your comments suggest that these are on sale just now. I'm wondering if that comment applies for a US audience only (I am but a humble Brit).

I have a question.Is the auto sampler able to work with Kontak instruments because the akai auto sampler struggles with kontak big time?

So uhm... I'm not far in the video yet, but I definitely want to know where you got the t-shirt from! If I had my choice, I'd probably wear a black T, any kind of T, almost everyday!

I don't own one of these and still researching. Personally this seems kind of labor intensive (yes/no?). And to have no release to the end of the sample seems pretty antiquated. But I'll keep checking it out. With all the users, it must be great. Honestly, while this video was greatly appreciated and produced very well on many levels, I'm underwhelmed with Maschine.

Hello. Could you help me 🙂 I want to purchase the maschine mk 3 from another person who bought it in 2018. Please tell me, do you know if I can install Komplete 13 select for free? At the time when this device was purchased, there was a Komplete 12 select. Now it is already outdated. I would like to understand if I have to pay extra for the software (Komplete select)

Also question for everyone. if you were to pair just one desktop polysynth (limited menu diving) with the maschine (less than £1000) what would you pick?

Is this a new feature? The newer MPC range has had them since day one

Does it work as a controller for Logic or Live ?

I don’t understand how any sampler that allows you to record in your own samples doesn’t have an autosample feature now a days. I can see if it is an old machine but if it is being sold new on the market today just what are you doing

how to create melodies from a sample piano roll cubase????

I have a studio and a jam. And I feel like they're likely to drop them. Hoping not for the studio as it isn't all that different to the MK3.

The effects window slider is to small for me, Very hard to see?

While talking about auto sampler, when you said “let’s get on the zone” how could you not then say “auto zone!” For shame! You’ve been training for that dad joke for years. Look. I’m not mad. Just disappointed. Lol

00:0-0:53 whered you get all those sounds

i guarantee if i finally get a Mk3, the Mk4 will get announced within 2 weeks!

With inflation & gas at a all time high and going higher, I will have to wait for better financial times before buying.

It's 'integration' with Logic X is woeful.Unless they have actually done something about it ? It is a glorified MIDI controller.

🌚🖤🎶♾

seems like a lot of work

Pause!!!! Brand new Maschine will be out within 6 months 100%

Mikro 2 destroys mk3 , aside from the refined lines for new aesthetic.. how did they not realize the full size screens are so important lol?! useless lcd one word display and yet mk3 are double price lol! Prove me wrong

There is no need for maschine for me. Ableton does it all and works good for the few hardware synths I own.

guy you talk too much in a monotone voice and you show too little how it works. this is boring. adieu.
