How is it that you don't have over a million subscribers? I've been watching your content now religiously for about a year and a half now. It's ALWAYS so good.

Well, the way online social works, I see two ways for @@jefgibbons to hit a million: 1. A public feud with a high profile fellow TH-camr 2. Make future videos shirtless. There are other options, like spicy taco binge fest, but they take more time.
@@MarkoProximo HA! This made me laugh out loud. Been watching the public feud, I die a little more each time. But whatever it takes eh?? Ironically I came out shirtless last week during setup, waiting for it to dry... it almost happened! Whatever it takes... cus man it's been slow around here lately. Working on some alternate plans to yours!
Unbelievable - just searched for "Maschine Sampling Masterclass" because I have some time to practice, and I find one from THE MASTER OF MASTERCLASSES that was uploaded 3 minutes ago! What a nice coincidence. Thanks so much, Jef. NI should pay you big time, you are selling their products much better than them. :)
You can never learn enough with this device! When I bought mines, I spent two weeks watching all the information so when it arrived, I hit the ground running! This and my Kali audio monitors were my best purchases last year!!
Thanks Jef, this was a fun video. I'll be headed over to your other video soon to get a better understanding on synthesizers. The way that you presented this video sparked my imagination to explore Maschine a bit deeper.
I wish you were located near me as I'd love to book a few 1 to 1's with you. You literally know Maschine Daw & Hardware inside out! I usually start a beat in Maschine, then drag the individual pads (as one shots,) and the Midi notes of chord sets etc into Logic and carry on from there. It's a sufficient workflow for me sort of, but I know I'm not getting half as much out of Maschine as I could do if I knew it better. Love your channel mate. Thanks for this. Got this one and so many other vids of yours saved in their own playlist and I come back to stuff again and again repeatedly over time.
Your videos were the main reason to push me to buy maschine mk3 & i am really happy wz it , u are doing awesome tutorials , waiting for more inspiring videos
Man this timing of this video is crazy. I’ve been researching if I’m going to stay with akai or try the maschine. Your videos have helped decide to try the maschine mk3. I really appreciate this! Great work
Thanks a tonne for this Jeff. Legendary videos for a looked over platform such as Maschine. Looking forward to even more in depth videos from you as they help more people then you imagine. Much love from Kenya!
Wow I can’t believe I just barely found out about your channel what great content and such a beautiful environment just liked and subbed! Now I’m gonna go through all your videos lol thank you kind sir and keep up the great work!
@11:40: IMO, it would be better to go change the root key over on the zones page. If you use that method, the math of the pitch controls in the sampler is easier Video suggestion for you: Using single cycle waveforms in maschine. There's a big collection you can find by searching for "adventure kid". The shaping controls in maschine work well with the concept; and you get a ton of sound options without requiring a lot of space on maschine+.
To understand how the envelope (ADSR) works, think of string instruments. When you pluck, strike or bow a string, the speed and force (velocity) will affect how fast and loud the initial attack of the sound is (A). The "velocity" can also affect the pitch, making the initial attack slightly sharp. And the amount of harmonics, affecting the brightness of the note (filter opening). The level, pitch and harmonics of the note then decays (D) down to a sustain level (S). On a guitar or a piano the sustain portion morphs into the release phase if you just hold the note and don't use special techniques or fx. On a violin the sustain portion is extended as long as you keep moving the bow. You can even control the sustain level and harmonics content continuously using bowing techniques (like using aftertouch on a keyboard). The same applies to wind instruments. The release time (R) depends on how you end the note. Different results depending on the type of instrument and choices like muting or letting the note(s) ring naturally. On a violin you can fade out the note using bowing technique. On some synthesizers/keyboards you can use release velocity to affect the release time. Thanks for a well presented guided tour. ✌✌
Looks like also promoting other ppl patches and stuff..would be good to keep it limited to the mashines stock stuff..anyway...you are a master of your gear though ❤
I would like for Native to add a granular sampler in the near future!! And also drag and drop some of the Komplete samples library presets into the Maschine plus in stand-alone mode. Can you please tell Native Instruments.
Great Video Jeff! I have a question I just can’t seem to get an answer to: I have the MK3 and a Komplete A25 controller. My main DAW is Studio one. My question is how do I use my A25 controller on a patch in the MK3? Although I love the pads on the MK3 & love the keyboard & chord modes, sometimes I would like to quickly create my own CHORD voicings on the A25 controller. Any help with this would be so appreciated. Thx in advance Jeff!
Thank you so much, that was really helpful! I wonder if you can use the Tascam with Maschine+ and a DAW at the same time. I'd like to use the mixer to sample instruments into Maschine, create patterns and route the individual pads on individual channels of the mixer (as you described), but record all of that in a DAW at the same time. Either Maschine+ and Tascam are connected, or Tascam and a Computer are connected via USB. Or can it be split somehow? Maybe someone can help, that would be awesome :)
Great video Jeff big fan. Ever have problems with Maschine crashing or freezing at the start up. I’ve read the support article and done all the steps still nothing. Waiting for response from native instruments
Jef, I've really been enjoying your channel and respect what you do - which is why I'd love to hear your take, to help me out with a little conundrum over here... which is deciding between getting a Maschine Mk3 or Live 11 Suite + Push 2 (I can get a great deal of the latter combo for same $ as a new Mk3). I have zero hardware, only my macbook. Making beats/music for a couple months now. Mainly I've been using Serato Studio, then Logic, but I'm a bit familiar with Maschine software too from collabing with a friend. Currently trialling Live 11. I really prefer the "session view" workflow that Ableton/Maschine have VS strictly linear arrangement type DAWs. I have no music theory background, but want to get more hands on with creating. Obv stuff like chords mode (Mk3, great video you did on that!) or learning chord shapes on Push 2 would be super helpful with that. I don't mind the computer per se though. I love making hip hop rn, but I can see myself wanting to make neo soul stuff, but also ambient or dub techno or whatever in the future. I'm leaning towards Live + Push because the deal seems too good to pass up. Can always sell off the Push if I don't gel with it. Only a bit worried Live might be more than I really can take advantage of and maybe Maschine would be more streamlined experience....
Man, great questions. I have a massive hangup with Live Session view where you can’t really edit without starting from the beginning of an entire scene… it’s hard to explain but it’s a complete showstopper for me! I also hate the quantizing features of Live. Other than that, it’s a beautiful environment for live performance (not just a clever name!) and it has better sample time stretch and pitch shift systems than Maschine. I prefer Maschines version of session view much more than Live’s. The main thing I’d say is get what you have around you… if you have people in your circle you can learn from using one or the other I’d go with that… you can collaborate and talk shop with that person and it is just way more fun!
@@jefgibbons Wow, I really appreciate you taking the time to give such thoughtful advice. I am prone to focus on "things", neglecting the social aspect, which is so important for us human beings. I have Maschine users around me, so... Thanks again & I guess from now on I'll enjoy your Maschine videos even more :)
Also... I make a lot of beats and love the expansions, but really struggle with creating things on my Komplete Kontrol keyboard. I watch you do everything on Maschine and then I struggle to translate onto my KK system, using Kontakt, Komplete Kontrol, Maschine plugin, Massive X, Monark, etc... and am struggling. I have found your keyboard/maschine videos, but nothing seems to just nail it all down extensively. What do you think? Am I off base with that observation? Also, I do know that you are more geared toward Maschine hardware users, of course, but was just wondering... I do not to drop more $ on hardware right now.
Hi Don, I don't quite understand your question/ observation... I use the Maschine a lot in my videos for playing stuff, but tend to do more on the keyboard on my own. I like showing how much you can actually do with just the hardware, and little keyboard skills (most of my followers).
@@jefgibbons sorry to be unclear. You obviously do a brilliant job showing how the Maschine hardware works to make these beats using expansions, etc. I’m not a keyboard player, by any stretch; but the hardware I DO have is the Komplete Kontrol Keyboard. When I watch you demoing expansions and the features of the Maschine hardware, I wonder how that would translate to the KK hardware. Basically, “how would I do everything he’s doing on Maschine hardware using my keyboard?” Sorry if I’m just being dense about this. How do I take advantage of NI expansions just using my Komplete Kontrol keyboard, and do everything Jef is doing on his Maschine+ right now? Is that even possible? I mean, I have keys instead of pads, but, other than that..? Make more sense? I just can’t seem to sort this out.
I'm considering an MKIII purchase and had a question related to this. When I saw the title, I was hoping you worked with drums. Any way, a question I couldn't answer looking at the manual. I see velocity can modulate start, delay, cutoff & of course, volume. But can velocity modulate pitch?
Not that I can think of… but if it’s drum related, don’t forget you can click on a snare then hit keyboard mode, then play the sample and move up or down the pitches… great for pitching a snare roll and much more precise than velocity would be!
@@jefgibbons that would only allow for semi-tone variations I believe. I'm looking for something much more subtle; a bit more brightness for louder hits, less for softer hits. Or can that be done in keyboard mode? Or maybe another way?
@@Bezowinz Only thing I can think of would be to assign the pitch bend to something very small (like 0.1) and then use the slider to control the subtle pitch changes...
Hello. thanks for the video. when I use M + in standalone it happens to me that at a certain point playing the pads a noise is heard in the audio, an annoying distortion of the sound especially in the attack as soon as I hit the pad. This with any sound and with cpu at 45/48% no more. I have done all the updates but the problem remains. Can you give me some help? Thank you
News help !. I’ve beben using the sampler and after that I load a kit in a group and have no sound at all. If I record the notes draw on the grid, but no sound. Where did I mess up?. Thank you!!
Hmmm could be a bunch of things! You should head to the forum where you can post a pic or two and get some help, probably something that is being overlooked!
