What do YOU use Maschine for?
Posted on: 31.05.2011 by Marya Romaine
Just wondering what uses people are getting out of their maschine controller or mappings when in midi mode.

I use mine in ableton to tap out beats, its such a world of difference than manually entering them with a mouse. Way easier to be creative and change things on the fly.

I also have been using DJ Endos maschine mapping along side my MC6000 controller for cue points and effects. Also tried a mapping specifically for the sample decks, but the quality hasn't been that good with that mapping.

Guessing I should learn how to do mappings....

Yeah, and you can still have it show the notes in Stand alone mode

I don't use it in standalone mode for making beats for ableton, I use the VST and have it show the midi notes in the ableton timeline. I guess I'm a visual person.

So if you use it in standalone mode, are you exporting a WAV file to import into ableton?

I use it for anything and everything. That pads feel right and the knobs are solid. I use it for making grooves in stand alone mode, and then I export those tracks and drop them into Ableton and finish off the track from there.And once I'm in Ableton I use it as a control surface for when I record automation.

AND then I've incorporated it into my DJ rig as well too, I have Ableton routed in Traktor and and use it to make grooves there as well when playing out.

Very useful and a lot of fun to use.
