What’s new in Maschine 3.1.0

Maschine version 3.1.0 is here. Maschine’s powerful performance features have been a long-term user favourite. With Custom Chords, we extend the ability for users to create and perform their own chord sets using Maschine MK3 and Maschine+ in controller mode.

This allows music makers to capture their perfect chord sets for live performances or share their chord progressions across projects and with other Maschine users for easy remixing and inspiration.

You can find instructions on how to use User Chords in the Maschine 3 manual.

Added Feature

  • User Chords: Create your own chord sets and share with other Maschine users.
  • Improved accessibility when using User Chords
  • Added Ableton Live DAW integration for Maschine+ in controller mode.
  • Updated DAW integration scripts for Ableton Live versions 11 and 12
  • Full-screen mode is available from the standalone application main menu and via keyboard shortcuts

Fixed

  • Plug-in scanning could freeze
  • Certain NKS third-party presets not appearing in the browser
  • Plug-in UIs inside Maschine when hosted in Logic Pro not opening and closing as expected
  • Pattern editor scrollbar not always visible
  • Ableton Link issue with Traktor and other Ableton Link clients where tempo sync with Maschine would not work as expected
  • Maschine in Logic Pro, plug-in windows sometimes can't be closed by clicking on the red 'x'
  • Maschine in Logic Pro, closing the Maschine editor with a plug-in window open can leave a black floating window

What’s new in Maschine 3.0.1

Maschine version 3.0.1 is here bringing parallel plugin scanning to make scanning up to four times faster, plus a host of fresh fixes.

Added Feature

  • Parallel plugin scanning
    Plugin scanning in Maschine is now four times faster, thanks to optimizations that enable parallel scanning. The new scanning process includes improved algorithms, especially for shell plugins like those from Waves.

Fixed

  • Note Preview does not trigger if you click too close to the end of the note
    It worked when clicking on the note event but not at the extremities.
  • Edit Cursors have incorrect small clickable area
    It was only possible to resize a note with the mouse when moving the mouse cursor to the very right of the note. This applied to both note start and note end. The behavior of the resize handles is now symmetrical. The hotspot is on the very edge of the note.
  • Metaverb was using incorrect banner artwork
    This was a typo – was Meta Verb before.
  • Crash after changing sample rate
    Changing the sample rate in the preferences was crashing the application.
  • Crash after auto save
    The auto save was performed on a thread that Kontakt 8 was also writing to, resulting in a concurrency crash.
  • Plugin window(s) could get hidden behind Maschine or DAW window(s)
    Now VSTs are not hidden by the application.
  • Crash In VST3 Plugin Parameters
    Turning specific plugin parameters knobs on the software was crashing the application.
  • Crash when docking the plugin window
    Clicking on the pin UI to pin the plugin was sometimes crashing the application.
  • Scale engine key mode parameter stuck on Kontrol MK3
    It is now possible to select something else than the mapped mode, in Play Assist Scale Page [Plug-in] / Scale Engine on the Kontrol MK3.

Known Issues

  • Maschine standalone cannot resize fully.
    Fix likely coming in v3.1.
