Just received my Maschine

[plusplus]

Have you utilized the velocity pads to control the volume of the vocals you're triggering? ...Where are the clips playing from? From a track in Traktor or from Maschine?

I've set up Maschine and Traktor so they can share my Audio 8 DJ... so I can trigger sounds in either.

No i just made a pattern out of the samples via the step editor.
Then i routed the sounds on a channel of my soundcard/mixer(xone 4d) so i could fade them, and then change the step pattern on the fly with the maschine.

Is it possible to route external soundcard input into a deck in traktor and use the traktor effects on it? That would be perfect.

Oh and here we go, just got the Email from Beatport:

This would be perfect to do with the Maschine, jump between songparts live and niceley and/or even change them live.

You probably could do that using jack, but why route external, just use internal.

I have to use the maschine on a second laptop anyway,
cause of performance issues when i run it together traktor.

Thanks for the comments guys. Are the browser menu and soundbank catatories easy to use. I mean is it easy to find a sound simular to the one in your head? This is one af the things NI brags about.

Yeah but whats the point of using pre-made drum (or other) loops when producing with the Maschine??

Hey has anyone had any experience with hooking up a keyboard to the Maschine, i'm finding the keyboard mode on the Maschine controller insufficient.

No my point was, instead of playing a track as an mp3, play the arrangement with the maschine. And yeah of course i would use my own beats with the maschine most of the time. But i think it could be nice to play a "famous" song with it.

I just plugged my midi keyboard in and selected it as input in standalone mode. As a VST in Ableton, I had to select the midi input on the Maschine channel, and Ableton midi or some such from the plugin.
