GURU vs Maschine Layering

Short Look at GURU layering vs Maschine. GURU appears to be more robust in the layering dept. It allows me access to many different layer techniques all from the plugin itself, no outside Editors or DAW's. Anyone with a grasp on Maschine and it's layer principles please chime in.

@flux302 you'd have to show me what you're talking about. I'm almost certain you can't delay layers, easily add them to 1 pad, manage the envelope (amp / pitch / aux), diff efx, all types of wild things per layer without a need to keep track of what's where and how to get to it. I rarely set up vel layers with layering, as I'm doing lots of as is type of drums, never trying to replicate real drummers, there's so much out there for that. 1.5.1 will not get me in the Guru / Geist level of laye

Thanks sounds.

I put that up here for you and knocksquared. To see if anyone knows another way besides triggering pads by the same midi note to do that type of layering, which in my opinion is only 2nd to editors like Sound Forge or WaveLab and various / any DAW. Guru is like a blown up version of Poise.

@mrpbns 1.5.1 lets you layer pretty easy...

@audiotekniq actually maschine does have plenty of clear layering in maschine. just press the add button when loading samples to a pad. then in the edit screen you can switch between layers. you don't need to move the map as stated in this video. also if you want to shift start and end points you can do this as well for each layer. also using the map you can set your trigger velocities, gain & tune for the layers all from the hardware easily. then you can resample easily, u can midi link too.

I completely agree. I was disappointed when I opened up my Maschine and it didn't have any clear layering capabilities. I'm coming from using Guru, which as you said is much more powerful in that department.

i've been trying to figure out layering in Maschine for a minute now, thanks for the vid. I'm done beating my head against the wall now lol. Hopefully we'll see something more intuitive in an update

[SoundsAndGear]

you are absolutely correct, guru kills maschine in the area of pad/drum layering, it's dope lol. Hopefully they add layering like this to maschine, it's really a must in my opinion.
