No new gimmicks!

Sorry to be boring but I would like to see some very essential but basic features included in any new update

1. Automatic backups.
Maschine is not very stable and recently I've been having crashes when I save! This would be 100% better than a new automatic beat generator that responds to the rhythm of your neighbours cat's heartbeat.

2. The ability to shorten the beginning of a pattern, not just the end of it.
Sometimes I create a patten and I end up wanting to scrap the beginning of it and just use the end, or I program a build over 16 bars and I just want to use the build for 8 bars. If this is the case I can't just copy and paste the MIDI data to a new pattern because the automation data will not be included. The only thing I can to is program the whole thing in again or record it as audio.

3. copy pasting midi data ALSO includes automation data
This would be incredible!! And also serve as a workaround for my problem in the suggestion above, I understand NI want to keep things simple but you could easily implement an 'automation follows edit' button in the setting menu that is defaulted to off
