Video: Live Performance on NI Maschine

Here’s a quick video I recorded earlier today of a somewhat-complete song file I have on my Maschine, I am triggering patterns and instruments. These things are great for drafting ideas quickly, as well as performing live or semi-live.

Let me know what you think, thanks.

Is this just using all the presets in machine? How do you change what plays? Is everything muted and then unmated?

Solid effort :slight_smile:

No not really, I used some of the included samples but a lot of it is my own creation. I like to lay out a bunch of patterns and then keep the pattern button on lock, allowing for easy switching between them to keep the tracks dynamic, so I don’t really have a set to follow strictly.

pleasurewave is such a cool performer name. should have thought of that.

gonna listen to this later.

Hey thanks! First one I really liked, I was on a kayak in the ocean when it came to me.

I dont much about Maschine, but this track is funky!

Have you found a way to quantize the pattern changes like scene changes can be? It looks like that’s not really possible. Also not a huge deal, you just have to have not-suck timing, but I was curious.

very nice and funky. i really enjoyed this. liking your lights too.

i’d love to get ahold of the stems for some remix action, if you like :slight_smile:

Nope I don’t believe there is a way to quantize those, my pattern changes are all instant for this, but I keep several template scenes ready (builds, intros, breakdowns)

Thanks, I might be able to make some stems with it, we’ll see. The light is an American DJ Quad Gem DMX light, they come in sets of 4, I just have one. Pretty handy for some ambient or party lighting.
