and yah no sane amount of waiting will bring those sweet Massive sounds I said:Įrr, But yah, I kind of want to do the reverse. but who knows and I do have a couple weeks off at XMas and would love a nice toy to play with then. BM3 in a few months (or a year?) from now may check a bunch of boxes I have been wanting checked. I've done a fair amount of reading but admittedly haven't gotten too far into automation yet.Īutomation is the weakest link to me currently but improving. I'll take your advice and visit the forums.

#Maschine beatmaker software
There is a software called “kit maker” that can convert your drum kits to BM3 format, as for instruments you could try to convert them to sfz and use an iOS app inside BM3 īut if you like it as it is ,there is no point on keeping your MK3. Only thing that is mappable is on Macros page, everything else is deleted on new projects (even replacing a sample deletes the mapping )įorget about any useful new feature and dev(s) are silent. If you buy a pad controller, make sure that it doesn’t have endless encoders and forget about midi learn. You can’t record straight to a clip in season view, also no pad mode for triggering loops infinitely. Īutomation, slice, looping chunks of audio, midi fx etc. I suggest looking at BM3 forums, many topics here too ,about known bugs and be prepared for zero fixes. No looking back now as i love this instrument more each said: It’s why i went down the Maschine+ rabbit hole. Little screens with simple parameters via knobs. I really do not want to look at desktop software in my spare time.

I want to get away from mouse/keyboard as much as possible though but get the best sounds I can. Yah I have done that (with BM3, NS2, X2) as well as sampling in vsts etc. I have 20-50ft usb cables itchin to said: I want to get away from mouse/keyboard/big screens as much as possible though but get the best sounds I can.

Why not just use BM3 as a sort of controller for the VST and sounds you like the most on the desktop.and go crazy playing the iPad using the BM3 UI to make music.I did this for a while last year with BM3 and Ableton and it was pretty slick.

Everything I bounce out of iOS just feels kind of weak compared to the sketches I can do with the NI stuff and feels like it needs a lot more work after the fact. It feels like I should just be able to bang out about 80% of a track on the MK3 and just do simple mixing on desktop and be satisfied. The Mk3 fx seem solid and simple to use, the sounds are great and I like the idea of Just working within a box and not always be thinking about plugins and work arounds and Wondering just how much I can fix in post etc.

It is still a chunk of change though that I can’t really justify right now but think I should’ve just got one a few years ago instead of a laptop but hindsight is 50-50 blah blah.Įrr, But yah, I kind of want to do the reverse.
#Maschine beatmaker free
From what I have been hearing I can get by with a long USB cable and be pretty much desktop free at least for the creative splurge part. Now that I am not commuting I have spent a little more time again on desktop and absolutely love the NI sounds (more than anything really on iOS) but I have been missing aspects of the BM3 Interface so I figured maybe I should just pony up for the MK3 as it seems like a hardware BM3 to me.
