    Has NI stated anywhere yet which requested features will be implemented with 100% certainty in a near future? They should have a somewhat clear idea about that by now, no?... I would like to know now if I can expect it to be a usefull part in my setup at some point, hence i might buy it now and start getting familiar with it, but only if i i'm sure that NI WILL implement full midi support for it, and midi drag and drop (+ some other things)...
    Thx for advising.

    I have not seen anything. Probably have to wait until after the 1.1 offical release is available for a while. After that they will announce what features they will add next. If they have not stated that they will add the features you want, don't assume they ever will. In the future, buy based on what is available at the time of purchase. ;)

    Well, haven't bought it yet, as i can't find any clear announcement regarding this.
    However, some of the basic features have been requested by users for such a long time that NI should already know by now wether they intend to implement them or not, especially regarding features such as full midi etc... which should have been there since day 1.
    I just don't see why NI is withholding such an important statement, which would probably encourage more people to buy the product.

    you noticed in another thread ;)

    at the moment you can only record and send out MIDI Note On/Off Data.

    i think they meand full recording of and sending out of Controllers - CCs.

    They also want to be able to Drag n Drop Patterns recorded in Maschine as MIDI Data.

    do you understand MIDI Note On/Off?

    CCs means Controller data such as Pitchbend/Modulation and Sustain. there are loads of other Controllers as well.

    Maschine has Automation,yes?

    people want to record into Maschine this by moving a knob on their Keyboard. They also want Maschine to send this as a MIDI signal to another Synth. at the moment you can't do either.

    you understand about recording a Pattern in Maschine, yes? users would like to Drag and Drop these patterns into their DAW as MIDI File.

    you use Logic, yes? do you use Ultrabeat? with Ultrabeat you can drag and drop the patterns as MIDI Files onto a Logic track. users would like to do that with Maschine.

    no i dont understand midi not on/off and if i do not by that term maybe

    and your asking me if maschine has automation lol? idk sir not sure what automation is

    but i do understand how to record a pattern in maschine and now i understand what you were saying about dropping it into a daw i though you could already do that i know flux was telling me he does something with maschine and then drags it into logic not sure if he meant midi or exactly what he was speaking on

    but currently i stopped using logic to just learn the ins and outs of maschine but i do have logic but dont use ultra beat with it, when i was using it i was just using battery and the ex24 sampler with it

    automation is when lets say you wanna tweak an effect knob as your beat is playing to say fade a filter. automation lets you record the movement of that knob so when it plays back it will make the filter sweep you just manually did.
    MIDI note on and off would be a key on your keyboard is pressed as long as it is held down that is an "on" signal when you release it you send an "off" signal
    the CC data is what happens when you turn a knob or press a pedal or use your pitch bend.
