Please please please never stop making these. You are a genuinely valuable resource in this community and we appreciate you so much. Thank you.

"That sounds pretty cool, we don't know what we're doing necessarily, but it doesn't matter" LOL I love that so much. Thanks a lot for the video.

Man that stacking triads idea is genius. I never thought of using the chord mode like that

Sitting here delightedly laughing out loud at how simply, mind-blowingly helpful this is. Thank you!

If it's one thing I hate is hearing bad music and you just saved my ears and probably added another 10 years to them. The producer that doesn't know any music theory will greatly benefit from this tutorial. Thank you Jeff!!!

Man, you are one of the few people that explains things in a manner that someone just starting would understand, Thank You !

As always. Very nice clean video. Enjoyed!!

Great tutorial Jef!!

Thanks heaps Jef, some of the tricks you're teaching are really unique and interesting ways to use the Maschine, learning heaps of new stuff

This is a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for this Jeff!

Dude, the way that you look at Maschine is absolutely amazing and totally captivating to watch!

Your maschine mk3 tutorial videos are 1st rate. 2nd to none. So informative and understandable. Thanks for taking the time to put them together. From the basics to the more advanced (playing live guitar with effects) superb. Thanks again.

All I can say is thank you! Oh, and I so glad that you showed up in my feed.

I finally carved out some time and made my way through this tutorial. Very cool and fun too! Thanks again!!

Such great production quality, very nice tutorial as well. Neosoul speaks to my soul so thanks for giving me a way of making complex chords on the pads!

Excellent demo here, I just subscribed. This has definitely opened up my mind and I will be digging into chords, thanks for the inspiration.

Jef, you are knocking these out of the park. You do such a good job of anticipating student questions, which I suppose makes sense given that you are a professor. This is gold level content right here.

Super. Thanks Jef. I always learn a lot from your videos.

awesome video Jef. always learn so much about maschine and music creation.

still the best maschine tutorials by far, some stuff I already knew but this video show me better ways to use them! please keep the videos coming!

Jeff, you’re amazing! I’ve always had such a problem understanding music theory and have always relied on ghost notes. I’ve invested in a Maschine and your videos are honestly Godsends, wish I found you sooner! Thank you! (subbed) ❤️

Love this Keep it up! Chord mode + vocal and field recording samples are so much fun for experimental music.

Some fab moves.🎹🎹❤️

This is exactly what I needed! Clear and concise.

I never thought of using the chord mode in this way totally genius, thanks for tip.

Very useful information. I think a lot of us use the chord function bc we aren’t versed in music theory so tips like this are priceless

Very good...I’m sure this will definitely help me...thank you Jeff

Gave me some good ideas! Great video Jeff!

great tutorial thanks you helped a lot of producers /beat makers

Great video!! This was actually fun to watch.

THANK YOU. this was very helpful. I swear I’ve been looking for RnB chord progression and came across FL studio tutorials. Thanks again

This is great Jef

Great stuff Jef!

You are the man. Learnt a lot from your videos. Stay safe.

Great for a non musician like myself you have just taken my production game up 2 another level... Just subbed also...

Nice! Jeff does it again!!! Great video!!

Amazing⚡️

Hey Jef. Thanks for doing what you do. I finally dusted off my Maschine after stumbling upon one of your vids. IOU my gratitude, so here it is.

I’ve heard the expression “stacking thirds” before; now I totally get it it. Thanks.

dude thank you so much for this I've been trying to figure this out in the maschine. Thank you. I'm subscribing to your channel..

Thank you sooooo much!!! Subscribed!

such a legend

this was sooooo awesome!!THANK YOU1

Excellent!

Fantastic! 🤘🏾😎

While we do not own any Maschine products, we couldn't help but watch the entire video because it was so interesting and engaging! Thanks for another awesome tutorial Jef!

I only just upgraded my original Maschine to a Maschine Studio. Until now my Maschine has had very little use of worth. Since finding you, I have actually done my first work properly with it. I'm a keyboard player, don't read music, but I understand structure. You've made my interest in it real for the first time in about 10 years :). Thanks, you have a subscriber.

Dope video!

Wow that little change semitone up or down is just the feelin was looking for thanks sensei 💎

Jeff you are the real MVP

Awesome video as always dude ✌🏻

Another excellent tutorial! Thank you. Not so much for myself because I work like this, and play piano anyway, but there's a depth to your tut's that is lacking from many out there...

Always dope!!!

Amazing.

Thank you a lot.

I'm going to use these methods. Never came to mind to use mk2 like that.

Great vid very helpful

good vid very helpful

How did i not know about double clicking the scroll bar to zoom out! Game changer

Clever trick. Instant sub.

Thanks Jef you're great.

Very helpful 🙏

You're a legend

Perfect!

Great video, and I really mean it

Very interesting as usual. Tanks.

Thanks, Jeff! I just made a song based on what you explained and it was one of my favorites so far! Also, I noticed that you said you like playing the solos on the maschine because it plays in scale mode but The Keyboard you got will do this as well when set to scale mode. I'm sure you know this but just making sure lol. Peace brother!

That’s was excellent

very very good my friend, continue your video, thank you for your science

Jef cool 😎 great 👍 thank you always I learn something new Excellent

I spent 16 years in Ableton and now trying to learn MK3. You have made this much less painful for me.

I made a really jazzy beat using one of the minor chord sets, and then writing a lead melody in minor blues with a sax sound. So good!

my hero 🥺

Subscribed and liked.... I'm liking these ultimate Maschine guides. Is there a chance of a guide on file management? I know it's non musical and yet it essential knowledge when working with daws type systems.

Ok... So for those that were asking.....Here's How to get those Chords / Keyboard Mode and Lovely initial Drum Loops recorded into Cubase :) First off... point to remember is that Cubase will disable your record button on your Maschine... Transport now handled by the DAW. So (example) use Jef's example video and get your chords in (ps.. I'm a Major 8 kinda guy! ) and sure enough you'll hear through cubase. 1. On Cubase (10), set your Input Routing to Maschine 2 - Midi Out (so your cubase input is received by your Maschine midi output) 2. On Maschine, set the Sound - Output - Midi - Destination to Host You might at first hear that it goes a bit corrupt first of all ... I seem to have gotten over this by ensuring Sound - Input - Midi was set to default. (If anyone whose much more skilled than I can explain why...that would help me get a better understanding!) I can also confirm this works in Keyboard Mode on Maschine too :) Also ... Did you realise that those great Single Loop Drum presets can be dragged straight into Cubase from Maschine either as a Midi File or Sample? ...Next to the Pattern length on Maschine, there's a couple of little icons...Midi Data or Sample... Simply drag into your DAW and voila!! ... Hope this helps :) Feedback and further tips welcome.

Just did this the other night. Min 8 FTW!

I've been a protools user for so long but recently I've been watching your videos the last several days trying to decide do I stay with protools or go to either Cubase or Ableton, you have a nice delivery style well done.

Those minor 9 chords sound like Gino Vannelli to me, very cool!

Thank you. Excellent explanation. By any chance, is there a way to create a custom chord set?

🔥💯🔥

Ain't maschine awesome !!

Thank you Jeff, this is a good tip. My question is: Would it be advantageous to use maschine instead of kontrol keyboard to play the same chords? Is it good to have both instruments for any genre of music or just one of them would be enough? Thanks

Greetings Mr. Gibbons, Do I have to record vocals in different groups when I am recording multiple vocal tracks?

Love this. Gonna cook some nice soup with this.

If u in chords try to use the repeat button with different settings like up down tripple 1/8 1/16 ... it gives u sometimes nice solo melodies ideas 💡

Man u look like a Jeff Gibbons but ive learned some things i feel that i should've known by now watching your videos so raspekt ya boi

Did you know if you nudge notes past the end of the pattern the notes actually Comes back to the beginning ? So if you want to switch places of the notes in the pattern. You can just nudge the entire pattern it will do that for you.

FYI Komplete Kontrol has scale mode too so you can totally mess around with soloing on that keyboard without knowing how to play piano!

Hi Jeff, great tutorial. Care to explain how to get the chords option to work recording it in cubase? Regards, Marc

Is this chord selection possible using Mikro mk3 using software/ laptop, because of mikro having no onboard screens?

Hello Jeff I trust all is well just wanted to a question about Maschine. Is there was to fix lengths and velocity on multiple notes as you do in Cubase ?

What kind of stand is that that you have your MK3 on?

Hi Jeff, I'm very new to music and Maschine and your videos are very helpful for me, thanks! Got one question though: which piano instrument did you select for this video?

great content. i love jesus. man great content

Thank you Jeff! Btw, what speakers do you use?

At 4:53 in the video you say that you can't create your own custom chords sets at that time. So, does anybody know if that is now possible in the latest version? Thanks

Where can we Buy This wood Kit and Arm Rest for the maschine?

The wood case that your Machine drum is in where did you get it?

why did they choose those chords? is it because of their diatonic sound? or is there some theory behind it?

I was wonderingbif i could ask you a few questions if you dont mind. I work on a maschine mikro and im a big famn of hip hop and i was wondering if you can answer some questions about layind down a drum patterns.
