    Hello,
    I'm hoping I'm missing something really obvious here - but how do I access the chord/arp/scale new features when I don't have my controller with me (sketching stuff when commuting ;-)

    Any help appreciated,
    Thanks!
    Alan

    Not missing anything. You can't access them without a Maschine or Komplete Kontrol controller.

    Mildly upsetting, isn't it?

    just a question, even if you could enter arp/chord mode in the software, what would you do then? don't you need a pad to let the arp play?

    You can trigger the keys and Sounds in the GUI, but it's not ideal. Certainly good enough for trying stuff out sans controller though.

    However, I've never activated note repeat or scale or chords to see if the GUI playing actually works with those features.

    Interesting , it only triggers the arp from the gui if u have a kontrol keyboard and the arp is switched on ,

    This is how I hoped to trigger on the go (see picture) ... when travelling I can't bring the full Maschine Studio with me.

    Not only can you not access the settings in the software, even if it was enabled, no external MIDI controller other than the KK S-series keyboards can trigger them.
