NATIVE INSTRUMENTS Komplete Kontrol M32 + Maschine (initial thoughts and workflow)

I have just received the Komplete Kontrol M32 so thought I'd make a quick video, fresh out of the box. Here, I'm using the M32 alongside Maschine mk3 to see how the two get along. Watch me quickly knock up a soulful groove with the amazing sounds from Komplete and Maschine.

Bro, you say you just got these but the way you bond with these machines is really fascinating, I''ve never been more inspired. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and knowledge

Thanks for connecting with the channel. Yeah - Native Instruments make hardware/software that resonates with how I play. It also helps that I have been playing keyboards since I was 4 - piano skills are mega useful in production (no matter what anyone else tells you), because it gives you a tactile means to "play" anything with a midi keyboard.

Great video! I just bought a used M32 and a Maschine Mikro for my mobile rig, but haven’t tried using together. Then I found your timely video 😀 I previous had a 25 key LaunchKey Mini and it was ok in Ableton and Logic, but crippled when using NI Komplete Kontrol. I much prefer the 32 keys, and the Logic integration of the M32, and now with the addition of the Mikro, better use of the Maschine 2 projects, patterns and expansions. So, although I bought these things for my mobile rig, I’m finding them super useful in the studio too! Any more videos you release on how the Maschine and the M32 work together are much appreciated!

I started with Maschine mk1 and whilst I loved groove production, I never enjoyed arranging on it and always used it alongside Logic/Ableton. I'm going to be putting out a lot of content about how I use Maschine over the coming months (most of my stuff comes from a keyboard player/musician's perspective) - it might be worth a subscribe if useful to you.

Hi Ryan, Got my m32 yesterday and like it so far. How do you get the sound to play from pressing the keys? I only hear it when scrolling through the sounds, after I load it, nothing..

@ryantaylorlive Жыл бұрын

@@sirhcyaj Hi. It depends on how you are previewing the sounds. For example, if inside Komplete Kontrol standalone UI, you might have to enable the m32 as an input device. Similarly for Ableton, Logic, etc. Check your DAW midi preferences and ensure the m32 is checked as an input device. Good luck and thanks for watching. R

Scarbee Rhodes is great. However: I've just upgraded to Scarbee 88 and it's a huge improvement. Also: Universal Audio's Electra was on sale recently so I got that too and good lawd, it is utterly awesome - has that vintage fluffy, warm magic to it that glues tracks together. Will have to do a video of my various Rhodes plugins alongside my actual Rhodes Mk1. Thanks for watching.

Honestly, I use them all across all genres. It's less about sound selection and more about chord voicing, timing/feel and arranging. "Stacks" and "Lofi Glow" are good starters for this vibe though. I love the 90s vibe of "Borough Chops" too.

@ryantaylorlive 11 ай бұрын

Hi. Logic should recognise it out of the box. However, if you want it to work with NI plugins, make sure you have the Komplete Kontrol plugin loaded. As always, check the NI website for resources on how to get it talking to Logic, as well as for any compatibility issues. Let me know if you're still struggling and I will have a proper look in Logic later for you.

@jeremy9575 6 ай бұрын

hi during your video are you using a sound card? or the mk3 sound card only? Are you recording with a Zoom brand recorder? how does it connect? is it better than an irig 2?

@ryantaylorlive 6 ай бұрын

Hi. For this one, I'm coming straight out of the mk3 master outs into 2x jack in on the Zoom. I also have a lapel mic going into the Zoom. In post, I mix the production audio with the mic. Then, I'm syncing that audio to my multicam and screengrab for the final edit. When I'm in my main studio, it's loads easier cos I just route everything through my UAD Apollo software straight out into OBS. Not sure about iRig but the Zoom offers multiple inputs, phantom power, high pass, 48v, etc....

I'd love a Maschine+ but can't justify the £££ until they sort a few things out. My eyes are on the mk2 and I reckon by then they should have a new iteration of the software we have needed for so long. Tbf - I would love a job with Native Instruments I've had Komplete and Maschine from the very beginning.

Hi. You can do chord mode on either. I've never used it tbh but imagine it would be useful for someone less confident about planting chords on the keys.

Hey man Do you think the maschine 2.0 is enough to make full tracks (edm, trap and scores) without a daw like Ableton? I’m new to digital production and I find NI gear quite compelling but people moan that it doesn’t work too well with daws other than MASCHINE/Komplete Kontrol, I personally don’t care so I’ve never used any daw and therefore don’t have habits or preferences. Otherwise I’m contemplating a Launchpad pro + Arturia keylab + Ableton, but the maschine mk3 + Komplete Kontrol s61 seems superior. Thoughts.

@ryantaylorlive Жыл бұрын

Maschine can do it all: HOWEVER - when it comes to things like tracking vocals, live instruments, etc; I feel that the workflow is not great for that. It's doable for sure, but I prefer using Logic/Luna/Ableton for that. That being said - Maschine runs beautifully inside your DAW and I use it with Ableton all the time for groove creation, then I can have all the flexibility of Ableton for tracking audio and finishing the track off. I'll do a video explaining this process this month because I think it's important to know how to use Maschine in this setting. Hope this helps.

@JeffyG 11 ай бұрын

Always a debate is when you move your production from Maschine to your DAW. Yes, you can do almost everything in the Maschine 2 software, but then to add vocals and acoustic instruments, you’ll likely use Logic, Ableton or whatever your preferred DAW. However, i also like my DAW plugins and 3rd party plugins. I could access them in Maschine, but it’s tedious. So, at what point in my creative workflow do I start using my DAW instead of the Maschine? I guess we all have our own preference.

@ryantaylorlive 10 ай бұрын

@@JeffyG my workflow is use Maschine inside logic/Ableton/Luna for all it's sounds, expansions, effects and groove creation. Then drag the midi from the Maschine instance onto the timeline. Best of both worlds - Uber flexible for working with audio/daw/Maschine simultaneously.
