Baffling that you can’t use your own chord sets! It would be such an easy firmware update too! Your triad chord stacking method is so simple yet makes so much sense. What a great way to easily get 7/9/11/13 extensions.

@Jef Gibbons I know it's not the same as an inversion, but when in chord set mode, I sometimes play with the white buttons on top to change the octave of the whole cord on the fly, or tease into the target chord by going a halftone deeper and then play the actual chord. It's fun! Just like your great videos...:)

Still trying how to use things like this in my workflow. Its clear you really understand this stuff as a Jazz keyboardist. Thanks for the tutorial and tips!

Hello Jef, Thanks for that! Would you be interested in making a video about integrating Maschine Plus, S49II and Maschine2 app routing in cubase 11 (nuendo) then moving from controller mode to stand alone for live use on Maschine Plus only. Would like to export elements from cubase and M2 back to MPlus, (and if that might involve turning tracks into audio only, not sure). And maybe how Expansions might work in cubase too, as it relates to S49ll and MPlus. you may have covered this already. Well anyway.... lol you are the best!

Hi Jef, Thanks for yet another great video!! I fully agree with your number uno request, -Maschine really really needs the feature enabling the user to define their own chords/chrodsets either from a predefined chordlist or just by pressing keys on a connected midi keyboard. It's a totally nobrainer, I would be really simple to implement -thrust me, I'm a c++ programmer myself... -I really can't figure out why these sleepy germans in Hamburg don't get it...But it's just like their car industry...They think that they are on top of everything, while they are getting overhauled by everyone.... Just take a look on AKAI, they are way ahead....Lot better chord features, better drum pads, and MUCH MUCH larger displays. But again, thanks for at super video! -we want more please! :-) :-) :-)

This is another reason MPC is far superior to Maschine. You can add custom chord progressions, arpeggios and midi sets. I've been wanting to try mk3 (used $300 w software incl) but even a used MPC One for $400 blows Maschine away.

I dont understand the benefit of having a major or minor chord set as in a given scale you would have both. Noth one or the other in isolation.

@jefgibbons Жыл бұрын

There’s a difference between playing in C Major and in A minor… many chords are emphasized differently so they give you more options for the important ones… and the minor keys can have major or minor V chords. Really becomes important in the jazzier sets of chords.

@gorkemgulan Жыл бұрын

@@jefgibbons thats for the reply. What i meant to say is why are all major and minor chords bundled together whereas in any scale you would have a combination of the two. I like the option of having variety of chords but to make it useful one would need to sample a major and minors seperately and put them in a sampler and work around like you did.
