Will NI ever make a double tap on stop (Mk3) go back to start? Sheeesh!

Seriously. How hard is this? I love Maschine but there are some really weird and obvious workflow handicapping issues that seem ultra easy to fix.

Is there any reasonable reason why double tapping stop on Mk3 doesn’t return to beginning of a pattern?

Matt @ NI Kai @ NI ?

 

D-One is there a workaround for this? How do I get back to the beginning of a pattern using hardware only?

 

People have been asking for that for ages.

Kind of, if I press Restart+Stop I get to the beginning most of the time, this is not an official shortcut and takes a bit of practice.

 

ah man...I was afraid that was the only way. Oh well. Another head scratcher we have to just deal with.

hopefully little tweaks like this and the sampler get some love at some point in the near future. It is more irritating on Plus because there is no mousing or doing it in software.

 

Shift + 4D Encoder = Jog

 

TBH after watching blezz beats video on the comparison of mpc live 2 and M+, when it comes to workflow, this isn’t such a big deal.

 

As much as I’d love to have a double tap Stop which resets the time line, I found quite a good workaround depending on the mode… when in Song mode, tapping on a Scene immediately sends the time line to the beginning of that Scene which is quite handy.

stop the beat and…

get up
get on up
tap on the scene, uh
get on up
tap on the scene, yeah
get on up
like a sex machine

(reminds me of James Brown)

 

yeah me too..on my previous sequencer I used to double stop for a back to the start
and even a triple stop for the "panic" function (here shift+mute on Maschine) and I miss it terribly ...
