Using MASCHINE+ and modular with Red Means Recording | Native Instruments
Jeremy from @RedMeansRecording joins us for a hands-on production session using MASCHINE+ and a Eurorack modular system. He lays out the full workflow from MIDI and audio setup to recording, arrangement and processing. The end result is a pulsing progressive track that shows off how MASCHINE+ can sequence, sample and sculpt the unique voices of the Eurorack modules.

Can you hire on Jeremy for more videos? I legit learn so much from his videos versus "Hey, here's the Maschine+! It can do cool thing but don't ask me to show you how to do it" type marketing videos you posted before.
Jeremy is a living legend, do more stuff with him!!!
Great job teaching, Jeremy (as always...). Lovely track!
Fantastic video, fantastic track! You have just wrapped up so much answer and clarify so much on how to work with analog syntth and how to deal with there lack of memory patch .
Great new Maschine video ...... NI more ...more
This video just makes me think of how many exquisite Eurorack modules @NativeInstruments could make ;) ;) - One can hope!
Very nice video Jeremy (as always indeed) you put the bar up pretty high for music producers. Just a little tip from a fellow M+ user. The "macro" menu you are referring to (for audio and midi i/o) can more easilly be accessed trough the Channel/Midi button (top left). this will keep you on the same page when navigating between screens. Ik hope you are willing to make more vid's like this for the M+ community, thanks for your work!

Amazing video and song!
I use a similar setup because I wanted to make music and sounds on my Eurorack system and not in front of the computer as I do most of the day. It's very inspiring to do it this way, the result is very different and sometimes you just jam around and this is very funny, too.
I run the same setup, Maschine+ through Hermod and it's amazing.. Thanks for the great video Jeremy! Love it
Very nice setup ! Love it :)
Awesome seeing you guys partnering with RMR !! Looking forward to other videos like this one!
Smooth and complex production... Awesome show! Great job!

Good stuff...I have a LOT of money dumped into Eurorack, and typically record live to BlueBox. I do not use a DAW or software at all, only hardware, but the Maschine+ looks to not only be a way to sequence Eurorack after the fact (again, as opposed to live recording), but also a way for me to, in a sense, use a DAW-like workflow without actually working on a Pee Cee. Thanks for the video!!

@@mr.irrelevant3588 Nobody said they are bad. I have been making music on hardware since the mid-90s, and only purchased my first Pee Cee (laptop) sometime in the 2010s. Never needed one to make music before, and I am more comfortable making music on hardware. Moving a mouse around loses the immediacy. Yeah, blah blah...MIDI controller or Maschine and DAW, but I despise menu diving, and working with music on Pee Cee is NOTHING BUT menu diving. Not my thing. Hint: you do not need a DAW to make music. You do not need a DAW to "git gud." I have been perfectly fine without one for a quarter of a century, and pretty sure I will be fine without one in the future.
So good!
Dope!!!!
top notch
What an amazing track!!!
Any problem with plugin delay compensation being absent on maschine? Does maschine plus handles this better or should I expect groups to be out of sync coming out of the maschine plus?
Masterful. Inspiring. Awesome.
Excellent, final tune is great.

Love seeing so many of my favorite things smashing together.
Fantastically produced video. Expertly done. In awe of your tech knowledge. I'm a music producer of over 30 years and I hardly understood a fucking word you said. And the tune is average, TBH. Does it want to make me go MACHINE? No. Although I've always had N.I. clobber in my studio going back to when Reaktor first appeared. I'm an old school musician so I'll stick to keyboard controllers thanks, played on 88 fully-weighted keys. Bliss. But each to their own and fair play fella ... You certainly know your way around that tappy thing and those mini racks. Rock on dude!
Given that the Komplete 6 is being used rather than using the Maschine+ audio interface would this all be possible to do using a laptop + Maschine/Mikro as well? I'm trying to pull the trigger on getting in to eurorack and if so then this is the thing that will likely give me the impetus
This is awesome! Thank you 🙏
Great video as always Jeremy!

Nice process n tune. Hope NI add a bit to the sample engine, pitch env would be nice. Any more modulation, yep. Oh, upgrade on the filters too o_O
Anyone else feels the internal soundcard samples at pretty low volume? For example with my phone on max i never can get at 0 or more, with my mpc one line in at half i get sufficient volume. Low quality preamps in the standard m+ soundcard? With another soundcard attached to it (scarlett, behringer18 20) it´s no problem. Side note the behringer has 10 outputs excellent for use with a small mixer, maybe one of rhe tascam models is the best because you can record everything on their own track on a sd card, then transfer everything over to your daw and you get every channel to edit afterwards, plus s1y wh1t you want putting it through an analogue monster gives it "that" sound.
Bravo!
brilliant im gonna get a setup like this i love machine but i love modular
pretty cool !!!
I feel the positive.
Goddamnit my girlfriend is going to be so mad when I have to tell her I’m buying a Maschine+ now
You could load each of those 3 sounds on their own group so when you're in key mode, you can just go from group to group to change which one you play
Great video! What are you tuning the three modules to? Would love a quick talk through of how to get all 3 modules pitched correctly to match what notes you’re playing in Maschine
considering this is not addressed in the setup part - what about latency? can it monitor through maschine in real time, using its effects, without latency?
Insanity 🎉😮
wow that sounds good
WTF great demo
I recently bought an Akai MPC ONE and I'm starting to regret that decision because of one thing: it cant gracefully loop over an arbitrary section of an audio track while I record drums onto a separate audio track. Can Maschine+ do this? I've watched like 10 videos and can't find any demo. I'm not about to drop $1200 unless I know it can do this: I'm working with the gnarliest blues guitar/singer you've ever heard and his timing is all over the place and its glorious. So when I'm trying to lay down drums over lets say section 00:32:05 to 00:45:15 of his track, man its so difficult! Because when I hit the record button IT STOPS RECORDING AT THE END OF THE LOOP! So frustrating. Now I've seen that the machine has a 'take' mode which is awesome, but does that take mode work if I'm looping over any section of another track? If so then TAKE MY MONEY! Because another thing I absolutely hate about the MPC is that when I'm done laying down drums on a loop section and I want to advance to the next section, it zooms the view all the way out! why does it do that? Cause now I got to zoom all the way back in and find the place where I was. What a pain. and don't even get me started on its horrible midi editor. Does the Maschine+ have a better midi editor?
Great video. Is it possible to control Moog DFAM & Subharmonicon also with Maschine / Maschine + as per this video? Thanks 🙏🏻
@BennyDeez1
2 жыл бұрын
Sure is! You can connect the Maschine+ to Hermod via the USB Device port on the Hermod (or MIDI din ports), then you can trigger the CV (pitch) and gates (note on/off signals) of the eight different tracks on Hermod using the pads of Machine+. The notes and gates signals can then be sent out from Hermod to the Moog DFAM and SubH VCO in (note cv) and trigger in (gate cv) ports. Works really well! It’s cool sending different notes from the M+ in keyboard mode, out to DFAM and hitting different pitches on what ever is tuned up there, sounds excellent :) the key is the midi to cv conversion of something like Hermod, to get Maschine + talking in eurorack land

@@dokertimusic7934 Yes, unfortunately the Maschine+ doesn't have built in CV in/out (some day I really hope they jump in the modular world!) so we need an intermediary like the Hermod to translate to the eurorack CV format from the MIDI capabilities of the M+. You could connect the Grandmother to Maschine+ via MIDI, which would work great, however, you wouldn't be able to do much in terms of controlling SubH and DFAM, aside from the connectivity they already have with the Grandmother. There are other options for MIDI to CV conversion you could look into, I'm just familiar with the setup used in this video.

Great demonstration! Very inspiring! Makes me almost want to get a Maschine + . But for $1400.00, I don't want it to use Eurorack modules (or any other hardware synth) as a crutch to do the job it was suppose to do in the first place, with it's own synths and plugins... and without giving it's CPU a heart attack. As a control hub for midi and using the internal effects and drums; just awesome. But this was supposed to be (and advertised as) an "all in one" workstation, which it can't be because of it's hardware limitations, more precisely an Intel Atom CPU which was used in netbook laptops way back when. I really wanted this to be all it was suppose to be, but we'll see if updates can solve the issues. Again, awesome demo!

How does the processor handle all the reverbs?
This is the reason I bought my M+ and it's been weirdly hard to find videos using it this way. I don't get why this isn't considered an ideal central hub for Euro systems? On that note, NI, it's bogus you didn't add CV to the M+ especially when competing products have it. If I didn't like the Maschine workflow so much better, I might have gone AKAI
