DESCRIPTION

Update July 23, 2020: The MASCHINE Sequencer has been updated with Panel Ports and is now Rack-Ready! You can use it as User Block in Racks (REAKTOR 6.4 and later).

The MASCHINE Sequencer Block is an eight-channel step sequencer designed to control Blocks patches directly from your MASCHINE MK2 controller. Each channel has independent controls for the attributes DIVISION, DIRECTION, LENGTH, and START, making it easy to quickly create complex polyrhythmic patterns. The eight pattern slots allow you to store and recall patterns in their entirety. Patterns can be copied and pasted between slots by using the COPY and PASTE buttons. Additionally, the MASCHINE Sequencer features a Euclidean pattern generator that can be used to populate a channel with an algorithmically generated sequence. Although designed to be used in conjunction with the MASCHINE MK2 controller, all parameters are available in the software panel, allowing you to use the MASCHINE Sequencer without a MASCHINE MK2 controller.

The MASCHINE Sequencer works perfectly with the Niji Drums. Download them here:
http://www.native-instruments.com/en/reaktor-community/reaktor-user-library/entry/show/10151/

The MASCHINE Sequencer requires a specific controller configuration that you need to load onto your MASCHINE MK2 controller utilizing the Controller Editor software. Note that loading a new configuration will overwrite any unsaved changes made to your current controller configuration. If you wish to keep the current state of your controller configuration, save your current configuration before loading the configuration required by the MASCHINE Sequencer.

How to setup the MASCHINE Sequencer for use with your MASCHINE MK2 controller:

1. Launch the Native Instruments Controller Editor application, go to File > Open Configuration and open the "Reaktor Blocks - Maschine Mk2.ncc" template.

2. Switch your MASCHINE MK2 controller to MIDI mode by pressing [SHIFT] + [CONTROL] on the controller.

3. Open the Audio and MIDI Settings in REAKTOR and go to the MIDI tab. In the Inputs pane, set the "Maschine MK2 Virtual Input" (OS X) / "Maschine Mk2 In" (Win) entry to "On". In the Outputs pane, set the "Maschine MK2 Virtual Output" (OS X) / "Maschine Mk2 Out" (Win) entry to "On".

Once you have loaded the Blocks in a Rack, you can use your MASCHINE MK2 controller to play and program sequences.

well ..i'm no coder (zero dev skills) and maybe it's not for the best to post this here, but i have found a workaround for MK3 implementation in Reaktor 6/ windows 10, and it feels too selfish not to share, again highly not recommended, bc i have no clue what i'm doing, but if you're stupid like me and dont give a shmoo, when maybe this is something for you: -open template Reaktor Blocks - Maschine Mk2.ncm2 with note pad (editor) -4th row change MK2 to MK3 (no clue if that really helps, just did it;) -save as Reaktor Blocks - Maschine Mk3 -open the folder where the file is and change the extension from .ncm2 to .ncm3 (for this you have to unbox the "the hide extensions for known file types option" in the option tab in the windows folder window (yes my english gets worser and worser;) just google it -so now i am able to transfer the template to my mk3 (power on mk3 and open controller editor, load the template)... for the most part it works pretty well!! i have to say, but not golden... so it's time to reassigne some knobs -start Reaktor 6 and set it up (Midi Pref: MK3 I/O 'on' everything) and this is the end, bc there are only so many words this comment section allows, haha, just tweak the rest in the controller editor, and check the cc in Reaktor (press F3) some of them are not visible in the editor, one last tip, while tweaking in the editor check show all labels box, its an easy set up, have fun

The Hardware Controller Functionality doesn't work when u load Reaktor inside a DAW. I use studio one v4, are there steps to get the controller to work? or is the functionality only in stand alone?

Same as the question below. Seems you guys kind of pulled a vista on us with this version of maschine. Literally no support right now. I would really like to be able to use this, of course I would also like a TSI for traktor as well, the mk3 is great but maybe you should have had all the templates and what not figured out before release, just a thought, meanwhile I guess we wait to use all this functionality. Wow threw down 599$ Now having to wait for stuff, not cool.

!!STEP ONE IS A TYPE-O!! You must select OPEN TEMPLATE, not config. Took me 20 minutes to figure that out, hopefully I save you that time.

Trying to follow the directions below... {"Reaktor Blocks - Maschine Mk2.ncc" } this file is not located inside the Maschine Sequencer download folder. {*Reaktor Blocks - Maschine Mk2.ncm2} is inside the Maschine Sequencer download folder. Where do we find the "Reaktor Blocks - Maschine Mk2.ncc" that's in your step #1 ? Thank you.

Does this one only work in standalone mode? the Kontrol F1 mod has an issue in Ableton. If this one works in Ableton then there's hope for the F1 version :)

Hi, does this work in Mk2 Mikro? Not coming up in the midi out list

w edmond

Sussed it. Correct setup in Cont Editor is: 1. Launch the Native Instruments Controller Editor application, select "Open" from the "Edit" drop down menu in the "Template" pane, and open the "Reaktor Blocks - Maschine Mk2.ncm2" (MASCHINE Mk2) / "Reaktor Blocks - Maschine Studio" (MASCHINE STUDIO) template.

Mapping appears wrong in mk11. I also needed to rename the configuration file to .ncc before it would open.

hey Matt Cellitti, it's viktor. in less its been fixed, If your using Maschine 2 inside of a daw like Live 9, there was an issue specific to Reaktor plugins with-in {Maschine plugin(midi ch1)}. Were Reaktor would not reset its midi channel and was stuck on midi channel 1. Had to manually change the midi channel in reaktor on both levels. maybe something similar to what your experiencing.

I followed the install directions and also updated all NI programs Machine Studio does not reflect what the Machine Sequencer is doing in Reaktor. Has anyone else gotten it to work?

Some real issues with certain steps transmitting other MIDI/Note data...for instance, I began tweaking the example ensemble to have (2) MIX 4's instead of the "add" module. Now every time I hit Step 15 on the controller it automatically makes Ch 1 of the Mix 4 drop to zero. Any ideas? Big issues if you try to add a Note In block for triggering other Osc's as well....

Rocky Durand

Make sure that you backup your existing Maschine Mk2 Templates in Controller Editor (FILE > SAVE CONFIGURATION), before opening the "Reaktor Blocks - Maschine Mk2.ncc". Otherwise you will wipe out all of your existing templates...

Phil Durrant

I don't think it will work with the MK1 because, you need to load Maschine Mk2.ncc into the Controller Editor App,
