Maschine Mikro Volume question

You need to carefully re-read my post. You have completely missed my point. Select and pad doesn't work in the mode I am talking about. I want it to!!!!!!!!

 

also, I am referring to Mikro's mix mode from the MAIN VOLUME page.

 

There is no mode, no page, nowhere in maschine which you select+pad and get a sound.

 

Yes, but in the mode that I am wanting to select a pad in, select+pad doesn't do anything to connect the knob with the pad. Don't you think I tried that FIRST!?!?!? Trust me dude, I'm miles beyond what you are telling me, I've come up with crazy workarounds the likes of which you wouldn't believe. I design complex instruments and sounds. I am not an idiot. I am an incredibly advanced Maschine user. You are simply not understanding what I am talking about, so let it go, bro.

 

Man, you are so rude that I will be surprised if anyone will be willing to post here.
Chill out.

 

if he's a musical genius then it's all good

 

Nothing personal, bro. It's just frustrating when someone repeatedly tells you something I already know, because they assume I don't know, and continue to misunderstand what I am asking, and continue to assume that I still don't know, despite the fact that I made it clear that I did know it, and that it didn't apply!!! Lol! Comical. No hard feelings, just frustratedly trying to make it clear! Very nice of you to try to answer my query!

 

lol-assuming that is satire. The rudeness is frustration at someone thinking I am a nube when I am asking a rather complex question. Not trying to claim genius, but trying to defend against assumptions of my being ignorant-lol.

 

no worries

 

"Main" is not the main mode in maschine mikro. The name is misleading though.
Maybe referring to main 3 knobs in MK I? Because it only controls master volume/swing/tempo.

The "real main mode" is "control(pin)".
You make master/group/sound level plug in and channel adjustments in control mode. What you are trying to do is under control mode, too.
I only use 'main' to change tempo, nothing else.

Congratulations.

 

IMHO, the button says "main" because when one preses it, it opens up a page where the default mode allows the knob to control the MAIN tempo, the MAIN volume, and the MAIN swing. Did you understand why I would prefer changing a Group or Sound volume from this page? I am still thinking that you are confused. Did you get what I was showing you in the video? Watch it again very carefully.

Thanks for trying to help. I am going to suggest what I am requesting to NI. It would involve having "select" work when one wants to change Group or Sound volume from the "MAIN" page.

If you don't use a Mikro live (I have to send my full size Maschine to the shop because of defective pads) then you probably don't get why I would want to do that, but surely live performers on Maschine and Maschine Mikro probably do.

Having a quickly accessible, dedicated main Sound/Group volume mixing page, (like Maschine Mk2's shift>sampling) page is indispensable when you want to be able to modulate sounds, and edit effects, and quickly jump to adjust the volume, then back.

Having to go to control page, then hit a bunch of f keys to navigate, then arrow keys is a clunky way to go about it.

 

Oh, I think maybe I see why you are misunderstanding. Let me try one last time to clarify.

The first way I learned how to change the volume for groups and sounds is the way you suggest in your answer. I already know how to do that. That way is inefficient for me, and the way I am showing in the video is more efficient for my purposes.

 

Probably you'll adviced to click "control" then.

I do.

There is not dedicated mixing page in mikro like regular or studio. Because of lack of 2 screens and 8 knobs.

And i would NEVER want that option under "main". You know why? Because, in a live situation it would be very easy to accidentaly change master tempo instead of some pads volume, that's why!!


Ps

Always remember to keep it horizontaly when shooting with the phone.

 

Actually, what I am referring to as the approximation of the "dedicated mixing page" is the mode that I am using in the video. It is not a stretch to have select also work in that mode, this enabling me to keep "control" in the "plug-in" mode, and still quickly make changes in volume. Even if you don't see how this would be a great workflow improvement, I can.

As far as the horizontal position of the phone goes, I am not really that invested in the production value of the video, but thanks for the pointer.

 

Again, it is clear by your responses that you are still not understanding, because mixing volume of groups and sounds IS an option under main. It is just not laid out visually. In essence, have you tried what I am talking about? From main, if you press group, and select a group, the main section controls volume of said group. One doesn't even have to hold it down. This, in essence replaces a mixing page for groups. The same applies, less efficiently, for sounds. Sorry if my way of speaking about confused you further.

 

Sorry to add to this old thread but I get what can't be done using the controller only. One cannot set the volume of a single pad without triggering it on the mk3 mikro. For example press 'PAD MODE' (make sure this doe snot trigger PLUGIN, if it does hit PAD MODE again) then press 'VOLUME' Then pressing 'SELECT' and the pad you wish to adjust. As soon as you release the 'SELECT' the volume control effects the main volume and not the pad you had just selected. Continuing to press 'SELECT' also does not allow you to adjust the volume of the pad.

To adjust just a single pads volume you must hold the pad which produces the unwanted sound to adjust.

A workaround is to MUTE the pad first. Then adjust the volume and no sound will be produced. Don't forget to unmute.
