INSPIRING NEW WAYS TO PLAY LOOPS

REAL-TIME TIME STRETCHING

Real-time time stretching lets you focus on getting creative fast. Drop in a new loop, and it automatically matches your project’s tempo. Adjust the tempo and it changes in real-time. And now you can audition loops on the fly – listen, load, and swap without ever stopping the music.

PITCH AND CHOP

Gate mode opens up endless creative possibilities for playing loops. “Chop” loops easily by drumming where you want to hear the loop. Hit the pad and the loop plays through. You can also play loops melodically by simply going up and down the scale in Keyboard mode – the pitch shifts where MIDI notes are placed. Drop in a bass loop, play a melody, and instantly make the loop your own.

TAKE CONTROL IN MK3

New firmware for MK3 is out now, too. Download now to adjust hardware preferences directly from the MK3. This includes settings for pad, screen and button brightness; audio and midi routing; pad sensitivity; and headphone and main out routing. Plus, choose from a range of velocity curves to control pad responsiveness.

Audition melodies and alternate elements to find combinations you like. MASCHINE 2.6.5 also lets you use MIDI to change Scenes in Ideas View directly from your DAW of choice.

MASCHINE 2.6

MASCHINE 2.6 comes with more tools to spark your creativity, make you more productive in the studio, and add flair to your live sessions.

VARIATION ENGINE: RANDOMIZATION AND HUMANIZATION

The new Variation Engine helps add variety and spontaneity to your patterns. Humanize lets you shake off the shackles of quantization and loosen up a drum beat or melody. And Randomize kickstarts new tracks by creating new patterns with random velocities and positions--the perfect tool for spawning new ideas.

LOCK AND MORPH SNAPSHOTS

Whether you want to experiment creatively or just want to add some improvisation during a live performance, Lock has you covered. Simply freeze your current settings, tweak a sound’s characters, change an envelope, open a filter, and when you’re ready, return back to your initial settings at the press of a button, for up to 64 snapshots. And with the new Morph function, MASCHINE blends seamlessly from one snapshot to the next, making it easy to discover new transitions.

CONTROL EXTERNAL GEAR WITH MIDI CC

With new MIDI CC capabilities, you can control your MIDI-capable external instruments, like your favorite Roland groovebox or Korg synth, as if they were plugins. Simply load the controller template for your device in your MASCHINE software, and you can play with any MIDI-enabled parameters, like tweaking a filter or adjusting a sound’s attack, directly from MASCHINE’s ultra-responsive pads and knobs. To get you started, we’ve built a library of presets for popular devices, which you can find on our Downloads page–and if you can’t find a preset for your favorite synth, it’s easy to build your own.

NEW UPDATE AVAILABLE NOW

The MASCHINE 2.5.5 update, free to all MASCHINE 2 customers, is out now. This update means that MASCHINE now supports Ableton Link, so you can easily tempo sync with TRAKTOR, Ableton Live, your favorite music-making apps, or any other Link-enabled software.

Plus an all-new drum synth for cymbals, additional engines for the hi-hat, snare, and tom drum synths, a host of new, high-quality effects, and significant workflow improvements.

NEW CYMBAL DRUM SYNTH AND HI-HAT ENGINE

MASCHINE 2.3 adds an all-new Cymbal Drum Synth and a new Hi-Hat engine.

CRASH

The Crash engine delivers everything from a 909-like crash to more acoustic-sounding cymbals. The Ride engine can be adjusted to sound as if the cymbal is being struck on its edge or bell.

HYBRID

A new, hybrid acoustic/electronic Hi-Hat engine allows adjustments to everything from hi-hat sizzle to the amount of metallic tone in the sound.

NEW DRUM ENGINES

New MASCHINE 2 Drum Synth engines add more possibilities to your snare and tom sounds.

BREAKER

The Breaker snare engine is an acoustic snare drum that cuts through mixes with heavy bass. This synth allows you to adjust how much ‘snare wire’ is in the sound, allowing for a huge range of snare tones.

TOM

The High Tom is an acoustic tom that complements the Floor Tom. With very few controls you can get a wide range of tom sounds.

NEW HALL AND ROOM REVERBS

MASCHINE 2.3 delivers two new, high-quality reverbs. Your existing projects using the original reverb will load with the original effect, now called Reverb (Legacy).

HALL MODE

The new Hall reverb emulates concert halls and other large acoustic spaces. Add sustain and lushness to tonal sounds, or create ambient effects using extreme settings.

ROOM MODE

The Room reverb emulates spaces with denser reverb, including smaller rooms. Great for adding decay to a snare, subtle width and air to a drum bus. Or create special effects with longer reverb times.

NEW LIMITER, DISTORTION, AND CABINET EMULATION

Add punch, grit, and shape to your sound with the new Limiter, and Cabinet effects, and an Analog distortion mode.

TRANSPARENT LIMITER

The high-quality Transparent Limiter uses special envelope detection to greatly reduce distortion, especially on low end content. The original Limiter is still available as the Legacy mode.

ANALOG DISTORTION

The new Analog distortion mode is a warm, mid-range-enhancing overdrive with the sound of a vintage tube amplifier. The old Distortion plug-in is now available as Mulholland mode.

CABINET EFFECT

The new Cabinet effect models the sound of guitar and bass cabinets, giving you full control over type of cabinet, mic position, type of microphone, and room response – a great all-around sound sculpting tool.

WORKFLOW IMPROVEMENTS

Additional workflow improvements to accelerate your creative process:

  • Quantize and Quantize 50% now available from the Pattern Editor Context Menu
  • Under MIDI Input Modes, the Source parameter off setting renamed to Focus (previously Off)
  • MIDI Export: Sounds which do not have notes in a Group Pattern are exported as empty MIDI tracks upon MIDI export, allowing consistent export of multiple patterns where some sounds have notes in only some patterns
