Good on you for calling them out on dropping the Maschine integration. We need to get more attention from influencers and creators on this issue. They said on their forums "only a small percentage of users used both products together" but judging by the response on the forums and comments here that's BS. IMO they just wanted to cut costs. Such a shame that they developed a great system only to abandon it.

They straight digressed bro, how are you gonna move forward with one of the main selling points of your previous generation...GONE!!!

Agree with you 100% that the Kontrol MK2 is a better keyboard than the MK3 if you are using Maschine. And that is a big step backwards. I use DAWs too but Maschine is my primary tool to generate ideas and that's in concert with the Kontrol S88MK2. Native Instruments really has some explaining to do here and I don't feel comfortable recommiending the Kontrol MK3 keyboards. Might as well go with an Arturia Essential MK3 which is what I bought instead as my second keyboard and has better integration with Arturia instruments.

This fire D Good work

That wack ass keyboard shows tge business model of NI. They have never been concerned with beat making software like a DAW, or sample groove boxes like MPCs. NI's only concerns were to sell its virtual instruments. At tge time people were not buying virtual instrument suits like that, . So NI made the Maschine hardware as a basis for people to buy its VSTs. And people eventually started using them in DAWs. Personally the Maschine software is bunk and I see no reason to ever buy a Komplete suite. Abelton and a Push, Logic and a MPK, or FL Studio and its controllers, are way more of a better option than a MK3 or NI keyboard.

That shit definitely is not worth it. NI has touted this as being abl÷ to adjust parameters on Kontakt instruments. Who is actually tweekingnparameters like that? Most people just load up presets and add effects. This keyboard is made of plastic, has no faders, and Maschine noncompatibility aside he does only basic DAW functions any controller can do. Arugula has way better controllers than this. The best thing about the Ni keyboards was tge sequencer they control-- Maschine. This clunky plastic toy is not worth $800 by far. This reminds me of the old Christmas specials where Santa used to be making wooden toys. Like who plays with that crap in these modern days?

NI is falling off when it comes to their maschine. To have a new keyboard and it’s not compatible with mk3 is insane. I don’t feel bad switching to Akai anymore smh

💎💎💎

who u happen to have a copy of maschine 1.8.2

I use it in maschine but its basic function at that point and the screens dont even match whats happening . Haven’t really even dived in solo yet so I prob could have just stuck with the mk1 but it does feel great ( 88 weighted ).

Great video!!

I was excited for the new keyboard until they abandoned the Maschine MK3 integration that was a complete let down...I was saving for it also but I just grabbed the smaller 32 key older one...and now I'm seriously thinking about snatching up the Live 2...and switch all together...The Maschine software along with the hardware was a vibe to me.... kinda feel like the wrong investment move because I like the ecosystem Native Instruments products had that's what got my attention!!! Now they're integrating izotope, u-he, brainworks etc but not integrating their own hardware is not a good move...are they even listening to the community at this point....!!!!! I'm giving them 8 months if I don't hear something about new or current Maschine hardware/software integrations.. I'm just gonna keep what I have and move accordingly and hopefully they won't stop the integration we have now!!!

I think that unit has came a long way and being that all my stuff is NI with Cubase I like it now with the upgrade. It works with Maschine without the way it would with a DAW. I still have the NKS plugins come up in Maschine. Now we just need a upgrade to Maschine MK3 and seeing how we can make the experience better! Cool vid fam! Had to come through and support! Blessings!

For a normal Midi Keyboard it's fine However for someone who used his NI Keyboard along with Maschine... They fucked up Taking away Maschine Compatibility THAT WAS DUMB

Great video,how do I connect and setup my S88 mk2 and Maschine Mk3 so they are fully integrated. People show you what they can do together, but no one show or tell you how to set them up, I have the new Motu 828 as an interface 28 x 32 and is it better to use the MIDI ports or USB many thanks

I use maschine inside logic for drums and other stuff much faster work flow in my opinion. Logic Pro User since 2009 and maschine since 2010

i spole on this for years on NI forum. Maschine HW and SW is a "thing", Smart Play and KK keyboard is a "thing"...then its KK SW. The new flagship KK keyboard is like "MK3" i guess. They got fix Smart Play across the board. Seamless with Kontakt for play and playback, and Maschine piano roll. Great feedback DDS!

I feel NI keeps dropping the ball with their integration.🤦🏾‍♂️

The main issues you spoke of about the keyboards are exactly what I said in my video. What's upsetting is that it seems NI is making the Maschine software obsolete, which I don't know why because that's what makes the older models of the keyboards/drum machines enjoyable with it. I would use the new keyboard but I hate using Maschine as a plug-in in FL Studio and Pro Tools

The rule i have by now is never to buy a product based on the company's promises

If you are interested in getting one of these keyboards, you can get it here: Kontrol S-Series MK3: bit.ly/KontrolSMK3

Crazy I been thinking about switching to logic as a Maschine user. I would always make my beats in Maschine then bounce it so I can mix it in Pro tools. (Where I feel the most comfortable recording,Mixing and Mastering. I always had love for Logic. It was always my side piece to Pro Tools when whatever Pro tools would acted up 😂 But with all the recent updates logic been making in the last couples years I’m looking like it might be time to switch over the logic. 😂🤷🏾‍♂️

Maschin software is full of bugs.. It works well wth logic as plugin infact

You are too late bro actualy yu shd consider mpving to trinity sequencer or maybe mc50

hiphop is dead ... why only talk abt hiphop ... lifes too vast boss

Good video bro. You're expanding.

Maschine has a lot of things that need to be addressed like the plug in list why am I seeing Effect vsts mixed with Instruments vsts when I’m on the instrument tab looking for a plug in and Lord knows they need to come up with another design for the mixer. We need real faders that lil small fader on that small mixer design isn’t doin fit for me it’s a few other things but that’s the main thing and all that extra crashing

How do you shift high hats off the grid in logic drum sequencer?

yeah I would like to see you use using logic

CZcams's Content ID is a mess. We also have issues sometimes with people claiming original music. Have of the time Content ID makes a mistake and thinks part of our song is a different song. TikTok is even worse.

Im still zRocking My Machine Studio and Machine Jam, Im not upgrading unless they add some like the Machine Studio with MPE! I DO NOT do Standalone, Me, and My PC are One!

@dds825 you know that you can open Maschine in Logic and track out sounds individually onto logic tracks.

I use software and run it through hardware!!!! Better results instead of mixing inside the box 📦 get you a good mixer and a 500 series!!!

I use em all lol I never 👎🏽 switched up

try x-minus for separation

Bro! Hope all is well, I’m logic all day, but I switched to the MPC, u won’t go back lol

Logic is AMAZING. You’re gonna love it. I worked logic with mpds for years. I’m now looking to figure out analog workflow with an mpc 2500 so I guess I’m going the other way lol, but also like you, I will not be ditching logic as you will not be ditching maschine

It’s been a minute and I get it but if Native Instruments ever creates a Daw You already know that it’s Game over for some…. I don’t believe they will venture into that direction but if they do or merge with someone that has a daw. Wow lights out !!!!!! Keep doing these DDS825 ……I’ll check in later ….

I have a question what’s the best pc laptop and Mac laptop to make music and function perfect for making music

I love making beats in Maschine and just dragging the parts over to Logic as audio files.

I started using both Logic and Pro Tools at the same time in 2010. Chose to go with Logic. I use Pro Tools if a client sends me a ptx file but other than that Logic is way better.

Welcome to the world of pure imagination. Logic, MacBook Pro, midi keyboard and headphones is all you need.

Even though there are a few things I/everyone am waiting for Logic to add, I’d update it. But not until I squeeze the last drop of midi blood out of my trash can mac. Probably won’t get Mac Studio until next year. 🎹♥️

Logic and Native Instruments is a killer combination. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Prettiest DAW

Logic Gang 🔥

My Komplete Keyboard started tripping on me too. Unfortunately you can only use it as a Komplete VST but they should've kept it how it was. But Logic is a great addition to Maschine.
