Splits any audio file into vocals, bass, drums, and other instruments, for more in-depth sampling capabilities. Powered by iZotope’s legendary RX technology.

To use it:

• Import audio to the Sampler module
• Open the Edit tab - the function is to the right side of the editing options
• When triggered - a % progress bar will display
• This is non blocking - a user can continue using Maschine 3 while they wait
• Upon completion, a new Group will automatically be created, containing 4 Sound Slots with the separation results (Drums, Bass, Vocals, Other).

A key workflow enhancement, this allows users to commit a Sound slot (rendering plug-ins in real-time) as Audio, saving CPU resources, but also opening that audio up for further audio domain manipulation (e.g. via Sampler). It allows users to go further without CPU limitations, and discover new creative possibilities.

To use it:

• Right click on a Sound Slot
• Select Bounce In Place from the dropdown menu
• User can also select multiple Sounds within a Group to render all at once

Or:

• On hardware controller, navigate to Pad Mode on the sound level
• Hold SHIFT and the option appears under Soft Button 6

Note: this is not yet available in standalone mode. It is also destructive - and can only be undone for as long as Undo History is preserved.

For deep control over the flow of a track, or a live performance, the user can set custom tempos per scene - allowing for new sections to have different impacts.

To use it:

• Right click on a Scene
• Enter in the custom tempo for that Scene

An extensive suite of MIDI editing capabilities such as Split, Join, Erase, Mute MIDI notes (individually or multi selection), plus Point and Pencil tools in the Pattern Editor, and MIDI entry via a Computer Keyboard allow for far more control over their compositions than previously possible in Maschine 2.

When interacting with notes via the mouse (not via the controller), the user can also hear an audible MIDI note preview.

To use these tools, the keyboard shortcuts are as follows:

• Split = X
• Join = Y
• Mute = Z
• Draw = E

This basic integration is compatible with Maschine 3’s standalone application, and integrates the keyboard with Maschine 3’s Transport controls, a fully integrated Play Assist, and on-keyboard display and control over Maschine modules and thousands of NKS partner plugins.

Note this may also be added to Maschine 3 plug-in in the future.

All of Maschine’s internal modules and hosted plug-ins can now be opened, and reordered as floating, resizeable, HiDPI windows.

Note: in some OS and DAW environments, this requires proper configuration. See the following article here.
