![]() ![]() ![]() Controller: 16 Dynamic multicolour pads with aftertouch.Maschine MK3: Groove Production Studio consisting of pad controller and software sampler/sequencer.(no exchange required, old machine of the customer remains with the customer) Others have a more solid technical platform but few bring the sounds that NI brings to the party.Upgrade offer for owners of the Maschine Mk1 or Mk2 In terms of the bundles I think they are still best bang for buck, even with the issues mentioned. While for the most part I’ve found it good, it is obviously running on an older platform, and I’m guessing revamping HW wouldn’t change much in terms of what it can do or access. The other thing to note with NI is that I get the feeling their focus is on fixing issues with software. Like the APC, the Push and the Maschine Mk3, it looks like these are the evolved versions of an initial MK1 prototype and while they sell well there is no real reason for a revamp. Interestingly, NI actually did a bunch of “how to” vids on Maschine about a year ago, and it would be odd to do that and then release a new Maschine. Not just because people aren’t buying as much, but if you think about it - one device every 10 years or so has more profit baked in over chasing marginal gains in an incremental upgrade every 3-4 years. I’m wondering if Covid and the state of things financially have changed how companies are approaching new devices. There does seem to be a trend away from some of the more expensive devices being updated on a regular pattern (eg every 3-4 years). So, is maschine mk3 still worth getting in 2023? It’s 7 years old now. Can’t believe it’s taken me five years or so to be bothered figuring out how to do this! Haven’t yet tried mapping the buttons or macros 9-16 yet, but technically it should be fine. The only downside of this method is that it takes up two Control Surface slots, but for me that’s no drama. You need to also run the standard Komplete Kontrol script in another Control Surface slot to be able to use all the standard Komplete Kontrol and DAW control functionality of course. Voila - now the first eight pots of the keyboard’s MIDI mode control whichever macros are contextually appropriate for Ableton. I don’t have mine plugged in, so I can’t give the exact name off the top of my head. Then go into Ableton and in Preferences - MIDI, pick a new Control Surface slot and select KK Macro (or whatever you called it) which will now have appeared on the list.įor Input and Output select the equivalent Komplete Kontrol S61 Mk2 Port 1 - whichever one outputs MIDI, not the DAW control port. These are the default MIDI CC mappings for the Komplete Kontrol Mk2 keyboards.
