yes just maschine software you can control in logic.
dacalion you cheap bastard its only like $600 you have that in your sock drawer.
ya its awesome!
lol
Yo Chris, i was reading that the transport controls on Maschine do not work when used as a plugin in Logic. Do you have experience with this cuz thats a pretty bad disabled feature if you ask me.
I have absolutely no use for my 4k anymore, it's a great machine, but it's time has passed for me.
Hey Im interested in 4k's that someone has absolutely no use for or someone who feels that its time has passed for them. Wow what a coincidence? lol
no, when your operating it as a plugin the transport controls don't work because it's not in midi mode it's in Maschine mode. Therefore, Maschine is slave to your DAW transport/tempo.
This is something many of us have been asking for to be changed or at least give us a way to control the transport of maschine when it's a plugin. I rarely used it as a plugin for this reason, but now I'm using it more as a plugin and it's not that bad. I like being able to bang out chops/drums in Maschine then dragging the loops, tracks, or whatever into the daw as audio.
It definitely is still growing but it's stable and useful as is, 1.5 is going to add a lot of functions on the sampling side that people have been asking for like destructive editing of samples.
It really depends on how you work and what you like to do, for me, I have absolutely no use for my 4k anymore, it's a great machine, but it's time has passed for me.
Yeah sounds really dope, but I think Im gonna wait till I start hearing that the support is entirely there for the stuff Im looking to do with it.
I just could not get my head around the MV-8800 it just was to much and the menus seemed bad. But powerful for sure.
I wish I would have done the same thing...I traded my MPC for the maschine and its a pain in the dick to use with logic right now...Although, my buddy who put me on to it said he got his working in logic so that he can use the transport functions and what not on the maschine to control logic. I gotta go check him out and see how he did it.
Yeah sounds really dope, but I think Im gonna wait till I start hearing that the support is entirely there for the stuff Im looking to do with it. If I had already bought it and found that out afterwards it would have been a pretty big turnoff. Having the ability to integrate into your DAW of choice correctly is really what makes it attractive to me personally. Im not looking for something with a 2-step process anymore...i might as well keep banging out joints on the MP if thats the case.
Hey Joe - So in Midi Mode, do you have the ability to re-assign all functions & knobs to Maschines controller so that it still works the same as it would in Maschine Mode? If thats the case, its a small workaround but perfectly viable. I just want to make sure the thing still fully functions as it should (or as it does in Maschine Mode) as a plugin in Midi Mode.well, there is a "midi control" mode...I created a template for Live so I can switch back and forth between that and controlling maschine. I've suggested making it a one button switch right now I have to hit shift and control.
So as a midi controller it can control the transport of your daw etc, but when you have the controller dedicated to the maschine plugin, it won't stop/start your daw. The plugin is synched to your daw and you can just start/stop the recording in Maschine.
It's really not bad at all and certainly nothing like the two step process you have to follow with the mpc. I'm just not sure how they can make the plugin actually control the daw, since it's loaded IN your daw like any other plugin.
the workflow for me really can't be matched by the mpc, especially if you rely on software the the rest of your sounds/production.
you can drag the whole loops out as audio directly into your daw, or you can solo sounds in your pattern and just drag each sound to it's own track, very quick, nothing like tracking out beats from the mpc.
