Maschine now lets you use your hardware synths like software plug-insįact Premiere: Alexandra Koumantaki - Gazeįact launches art and gaming print issue ft. Maschine 2.6 also brings a number of features previously limited to NI’s recent Maschine Jam hardware to owners of the rest of the Maschine range, primarily for making patterns sound more spontaneous. One of those features is a humanize option, which loosens quantized beats to make them sound more natural, and a randomize function that shakes up velocity and note positions to create different drum patterns. If there isn’t a template for your synth, it’s possible to create your own. NI’s templates cover Roland’s AIRA and Boutique hardware, Korg’s Volca synths, Moog’s Mother-32 and Modal’s DIY CRAFTsynth. NI has also created templates for popular gear, allowing them to be used like plug-ins from Maschine. The big change to Maschine 2.6 is the ability to send MIDI CC messages, which allow you to control any MIDI-capable hardware synth or drum machine directly from the software. Native Instruments has released version 2.6 of its Maschine software, which adds a host of useful features including the ability to control hardware synths and drum machines.

Roland, Korg and Moog gear can all be controlled with quick and easy templates.
