“So with audio, MASCHINE 2.7 is really just the beginning. But this doesn’t mean you have to wait another year and half for the next surprise – and you’re going to find the next surprise is just right around the corner.”
You mad lol.bungle wrote:Yes they are adding a new sample module, this nonsense of "We are adding audio" is just that, nonsense, they ignored their users and removed the audio tracks they already implemented because it was pointed out that you cant have two arrangers in one sequencer, so they spat the dummy and removed the audio and freeform arranger, then added a loop player (this hype) to try and negate the MPC 2 release.
There is no reason at all that this couldnt be added to the normal sampler, other than needing to pretend it is audio tracks, it isnt, and when people realise that you cant do realtime time stretch with the normal sampler and all of its extra features that this doesnt have, there is going to be plenty of moaning.
Basically NI got a ton of "New" users with the Jam and MK3 and they dont give a crap about old users in either camp (Keep it Drum or Make it DAW)
Every new feature in Maschine is implemented specifically to shift more of the Maschine eco system content, however, expansions are needlessly expensive to make because it takes that particular months intern (yes staff turnover is that rapid at NI, go check) a few extra hours to turn samples on to instruments and banks, but not any more, welcome to the world of Maschine expansions Generation 3, loops, the lowest common denominator of any content delivery.
Maschine eco system..
Gen 1 = Sample banks and sample instruments.
Gen 2 = "Hey look we give you these out of date synths for free, how cool are we" tweak some presets call it a pack.
Gen 3 = A bunch of loops "Hey look, trigger them with Jam, Pitch them on MK3s pads"
NI getting outside investment was a big warning, nobody listened with Cakewalk and nobody is listening with NI
Cakewalk = Concentrating on our consumer delivery.
NI = Investing in our content/media delivery.
Well, NI pretty much copied/cloned the MPC layout/workflow and initially improved on it to some extent. I am really glad that AKAI seem to have there act back together. I still have a Maschine (mikro 2) and use the software occasionally but I bought a MPC Live so got MPC software 2 free; I have been very impressed with it, and being bale to work with on the PC with the LIVE as a controller and then unplug the Live and continue to work the same project without a PC is like magic (as long as you are not using VSTs!)zvenx wrote:It's sad that indeed it will be viewed that way.

I think you're absolutely right. It's pitiful to read the Maschine forum over at NI. So many users complain Maschine doesn't work enough like Ableton, and try to justify their complaint by talking about how much money they've spent on NI products. They're going to be surprised when they get fleeced a little more.bungle wrote:Yes they are adding a new sample module, this nonsense of "We are adding audio" is just that, nonsense, they ignored their users and removed the audio tracks they already implemented because it was pointed out that you cant have two arrangers in one sequencer, so they spat the dummy and removed the audio and freeform arranger, then added a loop player (this hype) to try and negate the MPC 2 release.
