Maschine 2.0 duplicate scene issue???

In Maschine 1.8.2 you can duplicate a scene and the duplicated version will keep the same name as the original.
In 2.0 it creates a new scene number. Example Scene named Intro is duplicated and the name is changed to scene 02 instead of keeping the name intro. Maschine 1.8.2 did this just fine and that is missing in 2.0



HELP!!!

 

this place sucks for help

 

go back to 1.8.2?

 

That is the only solution? seems like a simple fix and NI flopped on it

 

I use duplicate scene all the time and have to say that the 2.0 way of renaming the duplicate is one of the few things I actually like about 2.0 (makes a change from all my scenes being named scene 1).

 

Agreed!

 

ideally the new scene name would adopt the name of the scene that was copied from, and then append a number to the end of the name. that is typical behavior for this type of operation

 

+1 Not sure why this is not the case. This is the ONLY way it should be done.

 

Yeah but how would that work if you don't name your scenes?

 

somebody thought their

it would work the same way. the resulting name would just be a number.

 

So would a duplicate of Scene1 be called Scene 11 or Scene 12; and then what would a duplicate of the duplicate be called?

 

if i were responsible for coding the algorithm then its behavior would be identical to the behavior exhibited by Apple whenever files are copied. i'm not saying this to deflect the question. i believe adopting a convention that works well is better than creating something new.

 

Aah, so in PC speak it would be Scene 1 (2), Scene 1 (3), Scene 1 (4) etc. (can't remember the Apple way, too long ago).

 

personally i don't have a problem with the way maschine names duplicated scenes because i rename them anyways. my current convention is to append uppercase letters. supposing i have two drops in the arrangement, and each drop has three parts... "Drop1A, Drop1B, Drop1C, Drop2A, Drop2B, Drop2C"

 

when duplicating in apple it appends "copy" to it and then begins numbering, that is what NI should do. it seems like currently is it doing a copy, then create new scene, then paste instead of having it copy, then create new scene, rename scene, then paste. they must be using the same function for create new scene and duplicate instead of creating a new one or adding a step to it

 

The word copy is to long and will cause your pattern names to be shortened on the hardware. [1], (1) or -1 appended would do the trick and let you know it's a copy at the same time. This is exactly how Maschine already handles samples when you make a destructive edit.

 

true... the hardware link changes quite a bit of what would seem simple in just software... i wish we could add the effects in the sound, or have an effects menu in the sample editor, to the destructive edits of samples or link the sample editor to an external on like peak or wave lab like one can do in live or cubase... it would also be nice if we could name things with the controller using the method phones and samplers used to use... then it could prompt you to name the new scene or sample at the same time or set a pref for this behaviour.

 

yep all of these approaches would be an improvement. for some reason i don't think we will see this changed any time soon. at least midi batch is coming back. that's reason enough for me to celebrate

 

and while we are expressing our dissatisfaction with given names.... i don't like the names that we get when we export files to audio AT ALL!! there, i said it and i already feel a little better.

 

ni needs to fix this asap
