réactions à la news Native Instruments dévoile le Maschine Jam

il me semblait que si , ou alors une des deux maschine est en mode midi user?

Citation de Spidouz :

Depuis le temps que je dis que NI va sortir un contrôleur avec des faders qui fera que Maschine deviendra un DAW à part entière pour aller directement sur le terrain d'Ableton Live & Push... Je pense qu'on en voit les débuts

A suivre...

Un DAW qui n'est pas capable d'utiliser des pistes audio n'est qu'un jouet!!!

Maschine n'est pas un DAW, ca fait plusieurs années que l'on demande cette feature d’avoir des pistes audio.

Sinon ce controleur JAM, une simple copie de PUSH, dommage. Seul les faders apportent quelque chose en fait.

Wait & See... mark my words!

Citation de FlooJobb :

mais un DAW, c'est aussi de l'audio, des bus... déjà que je trouve Ableton limite sur le plan du mix pur et simple (les Aux, bien qu'utilisables comme bus, sont plutôt pensés comme des Aux Fx), je ne vois pas bien ce qu'un DAW Native pourrait apporter à un marché déjà bien rempli.

Ohhh, moi je vois très bien où ils vont... et si je ne me trompe pas, cela sera très prometteur pour eux à terme.

De toute façon, il suffit d'attendre et d'observer pour voir si on se trompe ou pas... donc Wait & See

Hi all,

Today I want to let you know about a new area of development we have started in Maschine, next to and very much related to the sequencer improvements: We have started to implement audio and realtime time-stretching in Maschine. Those of you who are already on the beta program for the new sequencer features (thank you!) already saw the very first features appear shortly before Christmas, but this is only the beginning of our work in this area.

Playing back and recording audio loops that automatically stretch to the project tempo has been a longstanding request for Maschine, and we have looked at different ways to implement this. We have now decided to start with audio loops in Scenes. These can behave almost exactly like Patterns in Groups, so they integrate nicely with existing workflows.

So far, all tracks in Maschine are Groups that contain Sounds. With the new audio functionality, we are introducing Audio Tracks that sit on the same level as Group Tracks. Group Tracks are just Groups, nothing changed there. Audio Tracks, on the other hand, contain Audio Patterns (= Loops). These behave exactly like Patterns: Their length gets determined and then they are stretched to match the tempo of the project. If an Audio Pattern is shorter than the Scene in which it is placed, the Scene is extended to match the Audio Pattern’s length, and if the Audio Pattern is shorter than the Scene, it is repeated.

The team is currently focusing on getting loop playback ready for beta testing. As soon as that is the case, we will post another beta invite for an audio-centered round of testing and feedback here in the Maschine forum. I expect this functionality to remain in beta for quite a while, as we continue to implement new features – e.g. recording – and round off the edges.

This new audio functionality is of course closely related to the development of the sequencer. Eventually, we want to also bring Audio Clips to the Song Layer, where they can be used as very flexible containers for audio material. Once we are there, we will be able to play and record audio freely on top of an existing Scene-based arrangement, with or without realtime time-stretching.

Another consideration we’re looking into is introducing a realtime time-stretching mode for Maschine’s sampler. As this is less focused on arranging workflows, where most of our other development work is done right now, we chose to implement audio in the sequencer first.

I am bringing this topic up right now because we want to prepare the ground for the coming audio beta, and also because we would love to hear your feedback on which features you think are most important in this area already at this early stage of development.

Looking forward to getting your thoughts!

Best,
Florian
