Anyone know how you can become a NI beta tester

Just curious, I would love to work with the maschine team to beef this thing up.

 

Hang out here in the forum and contribute. Make yourself known to us.

Phil and I recommend people or are asked to recommend people. The project manager and various NI people who come through here also recommend people. The final say's the project manager's and the quality manager's, though.

In this case it seems like every customer is a beta tester. A full featured and stable release isnt yet developed. A shame for native instruments.

 

Christian, i notice you haven't set up your Your central instrument or most important musical tool(s)or Tech specs and configuration of your personal setup., so that they are prublic.... and there are not link to Myspace or Youtube, etc... these are all important if we want to recommend someone.

Maschine Works quite well in my eyes.i had some crashes as well but comeon... I dont really think that maschine is intended to be the main gear doing live acts (maybe i am wrong) and more to easy jam around at home or at afterhours or similat situations. I experienced much much worse problems with unreAdy software (thinking of my friend manu and his endless fights with his esi 4000, a scsi controller and his scsi hd).

 

I disagree.

There is no information for what to use Maschine. If I buy a new Controller wich costs me nearly 600 € I'd like to use it as I like to.

So if I'd like to use it for live action - it should work. Same as I'm using Maschine at home. It just has to work!

I think there are 2 sides of the medal.

As a software company it is always nearly impossible to develop a software which will work on 1millions users computers - right from the start.

Every setup is a bit different and everybody uses diffrent plugings etc. You cannot test every software in the world against the Maschine software.

On the other side when a company is going to spread that device & software to the market the have to be sure that functions they mention in their spots should work perfectly. I am paying for a whole banana and getting a whole banana. I am paying for a whole Maschine and getting a half Maschine! Thats what I dislike.

In that case - as there are a lot of bugs - NI should take care of their customers. What about coupons or something like this for extended beta testing their stuff.

 

thanks for the reply guys;

Sowari: I'll get on those suggestions
