StickySprite Agreed. I've got an s49 and a studio and wondered whether I'd need this. The NI promo vids tell you nothing. This video has just sold it to me. Has all the functions I wished I had in hardware form to make it easier and quicker to construct a tune.
Absolutely excellent job not only explaining it but showing current Maschine users why they should buy it... Shoe your boss this comment... Boss: before this video I was like wtf would I want this for when I already have studio. Now, I want one.
They went in a different direction with the solution. The good news is that it's cheap now -- under $300 used. For one who doesn't have a lot of hardware equivalents, I'd classify that somewhere between a solid deal and a steal.
You are probably the first person I saw to demonstrate similar hardware without shaking head like a chameleon and di not create a farting sound. Thank you for the detailed talking, straight to the point.
Yes, I agree this video fully allowed me to realize the potential and the usefulness of this hardware in my setup thanks you yet again DTT you guys are awesome!
I just traded in my Maschine Studio, waiting for my Maschine Jam to arrive. I have Logic X, so Jam should compliment things nicely. Can't wait. Nice demo!
Great for portability and getting ideas out. I traded my push 2 for the jam due to the push not being bus powered. Great standalone but also great with Maschine. Love the touch strips. Makes getting melodic elements nice down to without a midi keyboard.
I think the LOCK feature is the most amazing workflow thing... I think one could build a whole new controler completeley around the idea of the lock button... :D
Wish i could afford this right now..still loving my MK2 tho..Wish it was this easy with mine tho to lay out songs..i use my DJ controller for that currently.Always learning new things tho. I'm on my third Maschine. Had the mikro,then the MK1 first. Good video! Cheers.
overall good demo, but sucks that he didnt talk about the melodic part of the step sequencer. since one of the biggest features in the jam is that you can sequence chords using step mode
I have the ORIGINAL Maschine controller and didn't see a good reason to get this BUT this video changed my mind. BUT make more of them please, and in EXTREME detail. I don't use Maschine a lot but that is going to change a bit...
This actually made the maschine series absolutly unbeatable in my book -_- Push 2 is a close next best thing but ableton still doesnt have a seamless/mouseless vst and sound library integration
I now have a better understanding of Maschine Jam thanks to this video. All other video including the ones from NI were useless. I still don't know if Jam will benefit my Maschine Studio.
Johnny Parker agreed because I was looking for someone to explain how his will work with my studio. And now I will get on to make mixing and live automation super easy
I"m using it now but I noticed that if I go back and forth between starting a group/pattern on Maschine and then doing the same thing on the Jam the software gets confused and patterns go mute.
@ min 4:00 - when i'm doing that, only the sounds of that group are getting into the step sequencer mode. (and everything in the same color as the group) in the video one sound of each group (f.e. hihat, kick, shakers) is being put into the step sequencer and also shown in the corresponding group color. i searched for hours now and cant find this function. any hint ??
If you hold down the step button, you can select scene buttons 1,4 or 8. Those numbers correspond to how many sounds I can sequence at once. I had step mode 4 active so i can sequence sounds 1-4 at the same time. Hit down on the d-pad to access more sounds
i think this is a good addition to people who are already invested in Maschine as a DAW, but if I feel like if you could choose to be a master of either one, Push 2 and Ableton just does this better
Will there be an update in the near future for Traktor to implement with jam? Thank you for this vid, actually explains a lot. Keep them coming please.
Help guys! I just buy my Machine jam and I have not idea how to work it. I connect to NI and install all, but I don't see how can I start experiment with creating music or so. and advice ? do I need som app to download too or, because wherever I click on NI it does not open hardwire, and I can not use it. HELP HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your video. I just bought a Machine Jam. Are you still using yours three years later? If you have any more tutorial advice, I'd appreciate it. I will use mine with Logic and an S88
Are the pads as sensitive as the Maschine Mk2? If so, does it have the ability to capture aftertouch? These are both things I really like about my Machine Mk2. I can understand if it doesn't as the pads are pretty small comparatively. That wouldn't be a purchase killer but I'd really like to be able to just use one device in my performances.
ExStatic Bass the pads are click button and not velocity sensitive. You would still need your MKii for that. I do most of my work with Maschine using JAM. I use the MKii if I need velocity pads and chopping up samples. I thought it would still use the MKii more than JAM but it's actually the opposite now
i have two questions: first, in note mode, is it possible to have the notes not stacked on the touch strip, but rather all notes (that have been activated above) played simultaneously, with the finger position controlling the notes/chords velocity? second, is it possible to keep the changes made when the lock button is activated?
Pretty sure they're result of running a lot of audio processing on a computer AND recording the screen in high res at the same time on one laptop - need more RAM :)
Hello DJ TechTools, I would like to see someone do the following demos if possible:- Numark PT-01 with 7" dvs control vinyl * 2 (one left deck A & one right deck B) With either:- Raiden/Jesse Dean/Stokyo Kutter/Frisk Fader (mounted on top of and connected to the) Novation Audiohub 2*4 Audio Interface Reloop Neon (midi mapped) Virtual DJ 8 Pro Timecode/Cross DJ/Rekordbox DJ DVS Or Swap Audio Interface to:- Denon DS-1 to use with Serato DVS setup NI Traktor Scratch A6 for Traktor Scratch DVS and Traktor Pro setup Or Swap Both Audio Interface and Crossfader to:- Akai AMX for Serato DVS setup NI Traktor Kontrol Z1 for Traktor Pro setup (unless there is a Traktor Scratch DVS work around similar to the way DJ Player Pro works on iOS) Reloop Mixtour for Virtual DJ 8 Pro Timecode/Cross DJ/Rekordbox DJ DVS Add On Controllers (to be midi mapped to work with all of these DJ software programs):- Akai AFX or Reloop Neon for Serato SP6/flip NI Traktor Kontrol D2 for Traktor Pro - FX/Flux/Loops/Hot Cues/Remix Decks/Stems (to be used with a Raiden/Jesse Dean/Stokyo Kutter/Frisk Fader) mounted on top of and connected to the Novation Audiohub 2*4 Audio Interface (and hopefully there is a Traktor Scratch DVS work around similar to the way DJ Player Pro works on iOS) Novation Circuit or Novation Launchpad Mk2 RGB or Novation Launchpad Pro NI Maschine Jam (A-H buttons could be used to toggle channel on/off & the Jam could have buttons midi mapped as switches to change the parameters of what the 8 touch strips control, eg:- deck volume, fx level, etc) Reloop Neon (Serato Official Accessory - Midi Mapped to work the same with the other software) Software Integration:- Ableton Live 9 & Ableton Link Thoughts???
Thomas Matt The Jam itself doesn't produce sound. It needs to be plugged in. The Jam sends the signals to the DAW and that's where the sound comes from. I'm sure there are some that can allow you to play without connecting it, but you might have to look hard for those.
I have Machine Studio as well as the MPC Touch and two Launchpads (the mini and the RGB), do you think I would benefit from this or the Push in my work flow? I'm a bit torn between the two, anybody with an opinion on the matter would be greatly appreciated
Looks cool but as an Ableton user I already have much of this functionality and along with my Launchpad Pro Iv got a solid work flow. however I can see why Machine users would want this.
It comes with an ableton live template that turns it into a launch pad with more functionality. Can easily step sequence and trigger a drum rack and much more
Hey guys, i hope someone can help me. I think of buying a Jam in addition to my Mikro Mk2. Is it possible to play a loop on the Jam in bank 1 and change patterns/editing the sound while fingerdrumming on the Mikro in bank 2 group A? Does it change groups/banks on both devices simultaneously?
Is it possible to create a full live performance through jam, using the 12 songs i composed with maschine Mk2 ? Thats my goal but i don't know how to do it ! Every suggestion is welcome, thanks !
If im in the song mode and i want to switch between 2 patterns the next pattern (2) plays directly and don't wait until pattern (1) is finish. Is that normal?
Lost my attention.. While i'm new into this this walktrought had a walk-stop at "Which i already have in there" (referring to some prefab work).. Anyone knows a vid where they actually explain this M-jam really from a-z? From connection to sound input (or is it already there and are own sounds not possible to include) etc..
Maschine Jam looks very nice, I must agree. But isn't the functionality with it's integration with Maschine kind of like having an Akai APC40 with Maschine? This does the same thing an APC40 does for Ableton Live. For all that, I could have attempted to make a Controller template that will do the same thing. Maschine forever, yeah, but I haven't been sold on Jam. Anyone with an APC40 will see the similarity.
What about controlling the pitch of a sample/pad per step with knobs or strips while sequencing? Like in an oldschool Korg SQ-10 I'm waiting for this feature for ages.
Hi there I have a question can you help me? I recently buy a maschine-jam NI and I wonder how long take to be fully charge the maschine-jam with the USB
What I see is that Maschine Jam can stand all alone from MK2... I mean, it does all that really matters from Mk2 and left out what you can still do on your computer screen... am I wrong?
this actually explains the usefulness of the jam, thank you for this video mr giant man
anytime! and yes I'm a giant
Glad you enjoyed it!
StickySprite Agreed. I've got an s49 and a studio and wondered whether I'd need this. The NI promo vids tell you nothing. This video has just sold it to me. Has all the functions I wished I had in hardware form to make it easier and quicker to construct a tune.

***** how so? Have you played one?
Absolutely excellent job not only explaining it but showing current Maschine users why they should buy it... Shoe your boss this comment... Boss: before this video I was like wtf would I want this for when I already have studio. Now, I want one.
Don't use Automation and real time editing much do you?
This is one the best vid I have seen on this unit thus far
Great tutorial! Knowing what this product is capable of…it’s hard to believe that it’s discontinued.
They went in a different direction with the solution. The good news is that it's cheap now -- under $300 used. For one who doesn't have a lot of hardware equivalents, I'd classify that somewhere between a solid deal and a steal.

Yes, I agree this video fully allowed me to realize the potential and the usefulness of this hardware in my setup thanks you yet again DTT you guys are awesome!
most helpful/informative/convincing/succinct Jam demonstration yet.
I think I got more out of this than NI's workflow videos. Awesome walkthrough, man.
Just bought one I’m hella excited, amazing job explaining how to utilize everything
Good job 😍 thank u
thanks, good job on explaining lots of things about Jam
I have Maschine MK2 and picking up one of these tomorrow to pair with it. Great demo - thank you!
Wow! This sequencer looks absolutely amazing!
I just traded in my Maschine Studio, waiting for my Maschine Jam to arrive. I have Logic X, so Jam should compliment things nicely. Can't wait. Nice demo!
Do you have Jam already? What do you think about using Jam alone? I mean, without MK2.
shouldve kept the studio and used it with the jam bro
@@KINGDAVID230 i was thinking the studio i the holy grail
Give it up for DJ Zuckerberg!!
I've been told that once before
Brian Kullas aka DJ Young Luke Walton
hahah I"m just seeing this now! definitely a resemblance
I am not the only one who thought so.
Good job! Clearly explained and easy to understand, thanks!
Great for portability and getting ideas out. I traded my push 2 for the jam due to the push not being bus powered. Great standalone but also great with Maschine. Love the touch strips. Makes getting melodic elements nice down to without a midi keyboard.
so are you happy with your purchase i am torn between the push 2 and the jam
theres literally a 400$ difference. if you can afford it go for push 2 and master ableton, if not get jam and use maschine 2.5
ableton push IS usb powered i run mine off my microsoft surface pro tablet all the time
Knotjustblacknwhite dude you totally can power the push 2 with USB bus power
Great tutorial. Easily understood and demonstrated. Thanks Brian!!!
I think the LOCK feature is the most amazing workflow thing... I think one could build a whole new controler completeley around the idea of the lock button... :D
Excellent Video.. I'm buying this today
Thank you..You sold me a JAM!
thanks Mark!
Holy crap. This is a full feature set of creative uses for a sequencing of DJ beats.
Wish i could afford this right now..still loving my MK2 tho..Wish it was this easy with mine tho to lay out songs..i use my DJ controller for that currently.Always learning new things tho. I'm on my third Maschine. Had the mikro,then the MK1 first. Good video! Cheers.

Good presentation sir. Makes me want to buy it
Thank you so much for this video, you explained everything I wanted to know about the jam 🙏🏼
I met you in toronto at the Komplete 11 event! Cool to see you on DJ Tech Tools now haha.
I love my maschine jam. kudos NI
Why did they discontinue the jam?
& is it worth picking up a second hand one if possible?
Excellent.
This actually made the maschine series absolutly unbeatable in my book -_-
Push 2 is a close next best thing but ableton still doesnt have a seamless/mouseless vst and sound library integration
I now have a better understanding of Maschine Jam thanks to this video. All other video including the ones from NI were useless. I still don't know if Jam will benefit my Maschine Studio.

Great video great unit even greater if Propellerhead had something like this.
Are you using a usb hub here with power adapter to turn on the maschine jam?
Dj Zuck in da house
i think this is a good addition to people who are already invested in Maschine as a DAW, but if I feel like if you could choose to be a master of either one, Push 2 and Ableton just does this better
Great! simple and Clear! thank You!
Native Instruments needs a DAW module for Maschine. Built just like Ableton.
i agree!
dosnt maschine have a daw?
Where all the midi mappings for JAM go? I just find one and its only for Traktor
Can I do what he did in the 2:15 to 3:15 with the Maschine Mikro MK3?
Will there be an update in the near future for Traktor to implement with jam? Thank you for this vid, actually explains a lot. Keep them coming please.
Ok ok I'm going to get one, but I also want that tshirt with it
Can I use one as a Mackie Control?
Nice walk through
finally!!! wasnt this supposed to be out for weeks at this point?
Oioi lock is a gamechanger!!!
Help guys! I just buy my Machine jam and I have not idea how to work it. I connect to NI and install all, but I don't see how can I start experiment with creating music or so. and advice ? do I need som app to download too or, because wherever I click on NI it does not open hardwire, and I can not use it. HELP HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have it for years and looking for the same answers as I couldn't it figure out back then as well.
Thanks for your video. I just bought a Machine Jam. Are you still using yours three years later? If you have any more tutorial advice, I'd appreciate it. I will use mine with Logic and an S88
I just bought Maschine Jam and would like to know do U know of any videos that I could watch that teaches how to set maschine jam up? Thank U
You should just be able to plug in the controller via USB to your computer. You have to update to maschine version 2.5 in order for Jam to work
Damn. Now I want one...
I like the video, but could one work this way in a live way? like without interruption?
Anyone know if all these features will work when plugged directly into the Maschine Plus?
Yes
Great! Thanks! Very helpfull
Can't find these anywhere
but how can a new user understand your tutorial, or do you have previous tutorial? please send the link,
It would be really great if you cut the parts or write the exact time where you mention another topic.
What type of USB is that? Is it the standard big square usb? If it is it will last much longer then other USB's IMO
What kit using?
I can definitely get behind this way of working! just a bit concerned about how it's going to work with different DAWs like FL studio?
LDJ I think it will work similarly to how Maschine works, so well. It won't be as intuitive as say the push, but I'm sure it will run smoothly.
my question is ...is this overkill if you have maschine that can step sequence 2...and is this a push killa or what thx 4 the video
Does anyone know if you can use the perform fx on and individual sound instead of a group? Thanks!
Adrian Maldonado nop
Can you assign beats and snippets to each pad and use it like launchpad or push to mess around and freestyle with?
Are the pads as sensitive as the Maschine Mk2? If so, does it have the ability to capture aftertouch? These are both things I really like about my Machine Mk2. I can understand if it doesn't as the pads are pretty small comparatively. That wouldn't be a purchase killer but I'd really like to be able to just use one device in my performances.

second, is it possible to keep the changes made when the lock button is activated?
Brilliant gear , but really MISSING SAMPLER FUNCTIONS, hope they can add some , at least simplified shortcuts to next update ?
Meanwhile on his off time from running Facebook Mark Z. would stand on some boxes and do NI demo videos....
I wonder if you can record all and play it back.
Or save it to the laptop ?
What are the pops and clicks? The camera or the hardware/software?
Pretty sure they're result of running a lot of audio processing on a computer AND recording the screen in high res at the same time on one laptop - need more RAM :)
DJ TechTools Ah, makes sense. Thanks for replying!
Hello DJ TechTools,
I would like to see someone do the following demos if possible:-
Numark PT-01 with 7" dvs control vinyl * 2 (one left deck A & one right deck B)
With either:-
Raiden/Jesse Dean/Stokyo Kutter/Frisk Fader (mounted on top of and connected to the)
Novation Audiohub 2*4 Audio Interface
Reloop Neon (midi mapped)
Virtual DJ 8 Pro Timecode/Cross DJ/Rekordbox DJ DVS
Or Swap Audio Interface to:-
Denon DS-1 to use with Serato DVS setup
NI Traktor Scratch A6 for Traktor Scratch DVS and Traktor Pro setup
Or Swap Both Audio Interface and Crossfader to:-
Akai AMX for Serato DVS setup
NI Traktor Kontrol Z1 for Traktor Pro setup
(unless there is a Traktor Scratch DVS work around similar to the way DJ Player Pro works on iOS)
Reloop Mixtour for Virtual DJ 8 Pro Timecode/Cross DJ/Rekordbox DJ DVS
Add On Controllers (to be midi mapped to work with all of these DJ software programs):-
Akai AFX or Reloop Neon for Serato SP6/flip
NI Traktor Kontrol D2 for Traktor Pro - FX/Flux/Loops/Hot Cues/Remix Decks/Stems
(to be used with a Raiden/Jesse Dean/Stokyo Kutter/Frisk Fader)
mounted on top of and connected to the Novation Audiohub 2*4 Audio Interface
(and hopefully there is a Traktor Scratch DVS work around similar to the way DJ Player Pro works on iOS)
Novation Circuit or Novation Launchpad Mk2 RGB or Novation Launchpad Pro
NI Maschine Jam
(A-H buttons could be used to toggle channel on/off & the Jam could have buttons midi mapped as switches to change the parameters of what the 8 touch strips control, eg:- deck volume, fx level, etc)
Reloop Neon (Serato Official Accessory - Midi Mapped to work the same with the other software)
Software Integration:-
Ableton Live 9 & Ableton Link
Thoughts???
If I have Maschine Jam & software can I buy used Maschine without software? Will it work ?
Thomas Matt The Jam itself doesn't produce sound. It needs to be plugged in. The Jam sends the signals to the DAW and that's where the sound comes from. I'm sure there are some that can allow you to play without connecting it, but you might have to look hard for those.
He says he's very excited, but he doesn't sound very excited :)
Can you use this at the same time with the launchpad in ableton?
Record live performance into maschine software...canyou?
Can I use the Maschine Jam with the Launchpad app?
I have Machine Studio as well as the MPC Touch and two Launchpads (the mini and the RGB), do you think I would benefit from this or the Push in my work flow? I'm a bit torn between the two, anybody with an opinion on the matter would be greatly appreciated
Eh it's alright, not what I prefer but good for some controllerist. I love the push 2, launchpad, or midi fighters.
thank you
Looks cool but as an Ableton user I already have much of this functionality and along with my Launchpad Pro Iv got a solid work flow. however I can see why Machine users would want this.
It comes with an ableton live template that turns it into a launch pad with more functionality. Can easily step sequence and trigger a drum rack and much more
Maschine Jam + Korg Nanoseries is good combo or what would u guys suggest ?
Hey guys, i hope someone can help me. I think of buying a Jam in addition to my Mikro Mk2. Is it possible to play a loop on the Jam in bank 1 and change patterns/editing the sound while fingerdrumming on the Mikro in bank 2 group A? Does it change groups/banks on both devices simultaneously?
good question if you get both do we get two sets of banks from A to H or they just sync with each other and have the same number of banks
have you found this out?
Does someone know if it comes with samples or how would I download them?
don't like ads use Brave Browser
Is it possible to create a full live performance through jam, using the 12 songs i composed with maschine Mk2 ? Thats my goal but i don't know how to do it ! Every suggestion is welcome, thanks !
beautiful example songa
what about outside of the Maschine software..?
What are the JAM’s capabilities and potential, aim Ableton, for eg.
Great video, btw ;)
anyone know if i bought this and got komplete 12 select sounds and effects whether i can use these on midi devices not made by native instruments?
If im in the song mode and i want to switch between 2 patterns the next
pattern (2) plays directly and don't wait until pattern (1) is finish.
Is that normal?
Lost my attention.. While i'm new into this this walktrought had a walk-stop at "Which i already have in there" (referring to some prefab work).. Anyone knows a vid where they actually explain this M-jam really from a-z? From connection to sound input (or is it already there and are own sounds not possible to include) etc..
Can this connect with the troiaz sp 16?
One question remains: Where can I get that funky shirt?
Maschine Jam looks very nice, I must agree. But isn't the functionality with it's integration with Maschine kind of like having an Akai APC40 with Maschine? This does the same thing an APC40 does for Ableton Live. For all that, I could have attempted to make a Controller template that will do the same thing. Maschine forever, yeah, but I haven't been sold on Jam. Anyone with an APC40 will see the similarity.
Guy Has *M Mikro II*.
Should He Get *M Jam* or *M Studio*?
What's the difference between this and push?!?!?
So, NI is trying to compete with ableton...
you didn't have to kick him in the nuts, ya big bully lol
you can do this with an apc
Ok
What about controlling the pitch of a sample/pad per step with knobs or strips while sequencing?
Like in an oldschool Korg SQ-10
I'm waiting for this feature for ages.
Can be done, hold the step & adjust any parameters you want.
Hi there I have a question can you help me? I recently buy a maschine-jam NI
and I wonder how long take to be fully charge the maschine-jam with the USB
19:05 Automation Change/Record
What I see is that Maschine Jam can stand all alone from MK2... I mean, it does all that really matters from Mk2 and left out what you can still do on your computer screen... am I wrong?
Unless youre big on needing the pressure sensitive pads... Only reason to have to drag the biggin around..
