Missing features from 1.8 that should have remained in v2. Please Contribute.

I'm not referring to feature upgrades (ie new Mixer or Routing etc) but rather things that they didn't need to remove from v2 but did anyway.

It's still early days, I'm sure many more will pop up but rather than have everyone scatter these changes across different posts, hopefully you all can gather them here.

Here are a few I noticed so far:
*Some Metronome set-up options have been removed
*Can no longer delete Factory Content files directly from the browser (can only open in explorer)
*Empty group & pads are now lit even when empty (1.8 projects)
*3rd Party VST FX & VST instruments are no longer separated in the selection menus.
*Auto Quantize (Record Quantize) no longer set up from preferences.
*"Mix" control knobs on the Mk2 LCD's are gone (ie all 8 group mix controls at once)
*Some of the keyboard short cuts aren't working (maybe they've been reassigned? I'l update this if I find out)

In my opinion, these are head scratchers. Surely they could have kept these in v2??

Please add more.. I hope there aren't too many!

 

might be cool to just edit your original post so that everything could be in one list on one page too?

 

These are my personal issues so far:

Lack of a dedicated recording metronome when pressing shift + record irks the hell out of me.

The new pattern structure is annoying.

Having to switch to control mode and back every time I open the plugin in Reaper to activate the transport.

 

Nice thread.

This one is more an issue or bug in the importer and not a missing feature from 1x.

You have to setup host transport controls in control editor for this to work. Same as 1.8

 

BOOM BAP you put it up before I could type it in but *****3rd Party VST FX & VST instruments are no longer separated in the selection menus should have been a given

 

I did. Before I got the transport working with this "workaround" the Mackie template wasn't even available to choose from the control mode.

 

I agree with the pattern structure...it wasnt broke before, why fix it??

 

Actually the empty group thing is new 2.0 projects too.
Also when you delete (empty) a group it pushes the next group up against the previous one, confusing if you know a certain group is on say 4 but is now on 3 etc

 

This is something I hated in v1.8 with regards to the sounds in a group. Same behavior. Hated the reshuffling! So groups too now huh?

 

Can anybody tell me what happened to the internal routings for the pads I/O

 

My main gripe is the recording history being on the pads means that you can't easily perform resampling of a live performance on other pads.

 

oh no, really? this has (was) my go to for rendering out reference beats

 

Missing in 2.0: Scene MIDI Settings when using Maschine as standalone. In plug-in mode of 2.0, the options are available via the gear wheel icon in the header area.

 

*Can no longer import individual samples to Maschine library from the file browser (only folders)

 

Could anyone confirm we can't uncheck the "scan VST plugin folder" at each start anymore?

I heard we wouldn't have this option anymore and therefor it could take forever if (like me) you have tons of plugins... Is that true?
Because if it's true, I'm stopping right here and will not even invest any money in Maschine Studio nor Maschine 2.0.

Please confirm...

 

Just had a look, I can't see it as an option

For me maschine scans every time i launch it

 

Gosh, what a stupid thing that to remove this feature.

If you have hundred of plugs (like me), you might end up to wait a long time now (even with a SSD), just like any Cubase, Protools, etc... What was great with Maschine is that it was booting very fast and you could scan only when you want it (after you just installed a new plug for instance).
For that reason only, I won't upgrade to 2.0...

I can deal with some missing feature, but THAT, no way! It's really a downgrade in performance...

Thanks jiggle for having checked it out and confirmed it!

 

No problem man, hopefully an update will bring back preferences like that. I agree its a bad move not to have it, ni's scan app fires up each vst as it checks them so if you have a lot is going to take ages.

You could maybe move the vst's you don't use to a different folder so maschine doesn't see it, its a bit clunky but would speed up launch times

 

Are you telling me you can't disable the ones you don't use anymore?

 

PATTERNS feature is now gone..

anyone know if you could import old patterns?
