Maschine Mikro: Loading Sounds & Creating Patterns

[mixmasterjamez]

so i was following video step by step till you load massive which i had no section in there

[pc8922]

Can someone explain to me the difference between the Maschine and the Maschine Mikro? Why should I buy this instead of the other maschine?

[matthieu71]

I need it for my next guitar music :)

[drejas10]

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT WHENEVER THE FUCK I PRESS PLAY I GET THIS STUPID FUCKING PATTERN THAT WAS BUILD IN TO MY MASCHINE AND I CANNOT GET RID OFF IT. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS IM GETTIN SOOOOOO FUCKING FRUSTRATED.

[Funkadellik805]

i love mikro!!! and you don't have to do all that just use the damn mouse! ha nice tutorial doe

[GreenIInk]

@Funkadellik805 Ha for real man, using the lil knob thing...

[Niraham]

Can I upload my own samples into this device? Or am I limited to the default 6GB samples. BTW 6GB of samples is not enough. :)

[FRB1420]

@Niraham Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can add and slice your own samples within the software.

[poiuytrewq7654321]

Hi there! If you were to use this in a live environment would you need to remain connected to a laptop?

[FRB1420]

@poiuytrewq7654321 Yeah, the Mikro itself is just a controller - all the sounds and stuff are on the computer. But that said, you really won't need to touch the computer after you've started up the Maschine software - everything can be done directly on the controller.

[Gerryll1]

Why don't i have the cant quit bank???

[quetzalilo]

hola a todos, los dos ultimos pasos no se hacerlos, intento cargar los ultimos sonidos y no puedo y mucho menos grabar. gracias a todos

[screaming0havoc]

Is there a reason why every time i have this setup i connect it to d

\aw and its all gone.

[hordelax1234]

I realize that the mikro does not have the 8 parameter nobs. Is there still a way to use this using the big knob? Thanks

[EscapeOneHundred]

@hordelax1234 i'm wondering that myself, anybody know????

[RANDBBYEDMC]

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE LOOP TO SAY 16 BARS.

[TheSlendermanuk]

@RANDBBYEDMC yeah you can run the maschine software through pretty much and DAW.

[ThePellerhead]

can you hook this up to reason 6 on a mac?

[k1llmove]

do you have to have a mac book pro to use the maschine mikro???



[Paladinoocara]

@k1llmove No. The software works with Mac and Pc.

[swidikrull]

dear nativeinstruments, i do exactly as you do in this video. I press record but when i press the play button it doesnt light up? it works to turn on the metronome but not to play, record and listen ?

[tomaytemptation]

Despite this being quite complicated - imagine the possibilities. 16 pads and 8 different groups. That's 128 different sounds or samples. You could do so many things with this rage. A different genre per group, perhaps. House, Dubstep, Rock, Jazz. Or instruments per group, drums, guitar, synth, bass!

The 'pad mode' is also awesome, keyboard ability is genius.

Patterning on this hardware seems SO simple and SO easy and SO fluid.

At under £300 with included software & 6BG sounds - seems amazing.

[ry56789]

i have a question.....when he is finding the drum kit, do you have to find it with the machine, or can you just click the different sections on the actual software using the mouse..?

[tomaytemptation]

@ry56789 I am 99% sure you can just use your mouse to navigate, just if you're used to using the hardware to do so it'll be easier.

[ry56789]

@tomaytemptation so you can maneuver the software using the mouse? sweet! thanks!

[TheSlendermanuk]

@ry56789 you can use either. but once you get the hang of the workflow its easier to do everything on maschine, when i make beats now i don't even look at my computer, till i've created all the parts. then i use my computer to arrange and thats it. once you get the hang of it you save so so much time.

[ry56789]

@TheSlendermanuk aprox. how long did it take you to get the hang of using the machine controlls?

[TheSlendermanuk]

@ry56789 i picked up about 90% of it in the first week, but i was using it like 5/6 hours a day for the first week. then a couple of weeks to iron out the complicated parts. but after like 3 weeks you'll be able to do it with you eyes closed, its really intuitive.

[ry56789]

@TheSlendermanuk so its def. worth the money?

[SuperComputermann]

cooooooooooool



[mervingjslax]

the disk for the komplete elements wasn't in the box for my machine mikro :-( nor were my free add ons. still an awesome bit of kit tho! :-)

[Greenday0143]

easy

[issabella97]

HELLO IVE JUST BAUGHT MASCHINE MIKRO, I STARTED THE PROGRAM, AND IVE PRESSED ON THE BUTTONS AND IVE PUT SOUND TO THEM AND STUFF, BUT THEY DONT MAKE ANY SOUND, ITS A BIG PROBLM, DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO, I USE REGUALUR PC SPEAKERS ????? PLEEEASE

[michael44drums]

@issabella97 thats an easy fix, u need an external sound card and monitor speakers

[TheLouification]

@issabella97 midi selected ? and mixer volume on ?

[OfficialABTheThief]

@issabella97 hit the controller tab and change it to machine mikro, otherwise u just get weird vibrations when u hit the pads

[frusciboy]

my computer has an intel pentium Dual CPU T2370 @ 1,73 Ghz with 2 GB of ram,will it be ok to run the system?

[africanmaan]

@frusciboy no it will not you need at least double the ram the system requirements are on the native instruments website

[02tweeks]

ANY ONE KNOW IF THIS CAN BE RUN ALONG SIDE A DJ CONTROLLER FROM THE SAME LAPTOP?

[LoyaltybeatsTV]

Man I Just got my maschine mikro yesterday morning. Setting up is an ordeal lol but once you got it up and running and you mess with it for a bit you really wont feel as if you need all those knobs.

[MrYoyoaddicted]

i cant wait to buy this its so amazing

[fitbikecofitbikeco]

sorry can someone plz respond to this jjust got it but when i press record it lites up but when i hit play to start recording it never records so some plz comment this or message me THANKYOU

[ilcool90]

I am using logic software right now, if I want to switch to machine is it also the best option to switch to komplete software ?

[orsons1231234]

That thing is hust AWESOME!

[murdosss]

video is perfect it's only 6 minutes and this guy is skyrocketing you through almost everything you need to learn how to use maschine mikro. just be patient and rewind.

[uncletones]

This video over complicates maschine mikro. It's more useful after you have had a play around yourself and found what approach best suits you. I've found navigation a lot easier using combination of track pad and maschine mikro buttons.

[MykailoUnstopable]

can the software import non-maschine samples to trigger from the controller?

[DJRockstarbaby]

A lil' complicated but I'm THINKING about getting one of this

[pete921]

so it's possible to just select samples via the software? takes waaaay too long on the hardware, even though he's familiar with it.

[fruitypebbles904]

looks complicated but it really isnt at all. just a little more buttons to press. for $350 id say its a good buy.

[Slah606]

...Or use the mouse.

[LewisCullenOfficial]

can you load the sound or drum kits etc. on your computer or do you need to do it this way?

[MrChelove]

This video pushed me away from buying Maschine Mikro.

[fitbikecofitbikeco]

@MrChelove na man made me buy it best purchase of my life may be a lil complicated that why im watching this video lol but easy as hell otherwise

[Garbagemancool]

i want

[deekiller420]

Does anyone know if the maschine mikro works with traktor??

[BeetMasher]

@deekiller420 I think it does, you just have to map it correctly. But why would you use it with Traktor?

[deekiller420]

@BeetMasher I want to use it wit traktor so I can set more than one cue points while djing. Like wit the vids wit craze using the maschine wit traktor.

[DJGixxerlive]

Listen to the airplane @ 3.22 min ........sampled or real??

[TheDjflb]

why dont you just use to computer to find kits!

[krudecrudedekru]

@TheDjflb Cuz sometimes during lives, you cant really use your comp

[SrtictlyDope]

I just put a down on mine, can't wait to get it in two weeks!!!

[1000Errors]

well this video totally put me off wanting to buy one, waaaay too complicated for my liking!

[lasoniarideout]

I think the reason you have to navigate though so many pages, knobs, and buttons is because of mikro's compact design. So, you have to use several of them to do one thing. I have two maschines for my Macs, but I think that I will still buy mikro for my neko. Because it cost only $350.

[skvan]

@lasoniarideout you rich fucker

[MrBevanL]

wtf happened to drag n drop?

[HC92805]

wtf????



[mjelly99]

are you allowed to use your mouse? hahaha

[JahmBProducts]

@mjelly99 Might as well lol

[Imakeilltrax]

can anyone else hear a plane going by at 3:20?

[AllenMcCloudTv]

This just makes me want to get the regular Maschine again! I'm like wow really son all that?! But I guess if I get this & go through that process enough won't bother me me after awhile! I'm sure people would agree!

[AllenMcCloudTv]

@AllenMcCloudTv I forgot the word "it" before "enough" my bad!

[Teriyaki32186]

Takes too long to program

[RizzoAstronama]

wow almost 30 steps just find one kit...intuitive...but i guess you could just do the logical thing and find the sound in the browser on the computer

[rockxthistown22]

get at those sounds!

[lafucil]

WTF, is he finding a drum kit or piloting the starship enterprise?!

[dontquit1000]

@lafucil Exactly! That's to much work.

[lafucil]

WTF is he finding a drum kit or piloting the starship enterprise?!

[eastjeff]

does it has the mpc and sp1200 emulater?

[eastjeff]

does it has the mpc and sp1200 emulater?

[ryan041493]

looks cool but i think it could really use about 8 knobs

[turdlinger5000]

hmmm this seems far more complicated then regular maschine.

[aceofspadesx11]

@turdlinger5000 it is i cant even figure out how to turn it on...

[tks989]

@turdlinger5000 i wouldn't say far more complicated. mikro has extra steps to select stuff but the learning curve is the same

[LIANG14]

I'm assuming you can do this using the software too?
