Best tutorial on clips, better than NI own.
Thank you!! 🙏
Great video and overview! I will definitely get into clips a LOT more because of this.
One thing about the choke groups: for the 808, I've always found it easier to set it to ADSR mode and drag the notes out. This provides extra control over the release, ensuring there are no clicks when the sound is cut off.
Thank you! Glad you liked the video. That's a good tip as well
Thank you sir. Just unlocked knowledge that will further my love for Maschine software / hardware 👍
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help!
Having an automation clip/ track that moves across multiple clips is super powerful - first , to avoid repetitive automation and second, its especially great for ambient drones and pads (created from shorter clips with reverb and sustain) to create subtle changes and movement across the entire song. Another good TIP: When in a clip view using hardware, you can switch beteeen events and keyboard mode without loosing the view you're in by pressing shift/keyboard or shift/events etc.
Yeah I definitely like those use cases as well. Thanks for sharing!
I definitely learned a lot. Long time maschine user. I never used clips. I will now!!!!!
I'm glad I could help show you something! Hopefully clips opens up new possibilities for your beats. I know it did for me
The biggest respect for useful 14 and 15 tips. They exploded my brain - nice!
Glad you liked those!
I can see myself watching this many times for reference. Great resource! Thanks for your time!
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks for putting in the work to explain these tips !
Of course! You’re welcome
Wow!!! Automation here is a more flexible function than it is on Logic Pro X!!!
Oh really? I haven't used logic pro x but that is interesting
This is very concise, clear and informative.. thanks i got a lot out of your video
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it
Appreciate your content, it feels like I'm always learning something new and some cool hacks which either save time or let me discover cool features in maschine. Keep going!
I'm glad I'm able to show you new things! Thanks for your comment
I come from a traditional studio/DAW background and I recently got a Maschine Mikro, and i get the feeling this is a very powerful device beyond what I thought it would be useful for. Appreciate the video, very interesting
Of course!
amazing video. I have been looking for so long for advanced tutorials on the Maschine 👍
Thank you! I'll try to put out some more advanced content
Great video. Clips were always a bit of mystery to me, even when I used them, I never felt I understood what was going on. This helps!
Happy to help! Clips were very confusing to me at first as well
You really just made me fall back in love with my MK3. I was getting so frustrated with arranging in Maschine and ended up getting Ableton but couldn't let go of the hands on work flow Maschine has. I also really like native instruments sounds and have Komplete 13 so i really want to get the most out of these sounds and browsing through them on Ableton is just not it compared to the mk3. What blew my mind here was using clips for automation! YESSSS!!!!!!! Thank you. Subscribed!
Hey Corey, this is awesome! I'm glad I could help re-ignite your interest in Maschine. I think once a person gets over the initial learning curve, it's very fun to create with. Thanks for subscribing! And yes, the clips for automation tip might be my favorite one
Going from Maschine to Ableton is wild!!!! To me Ableton is tough! Lol Maschine is kicking my butt right now
@@FlatWHDF it was Wild for me to trust me! I was having a hard time with both Maschine and Ableton. But once i learned how to arrange in Maschine, Ableton made more sense in theory. After trying to use both for a while It All kinda just clicked.
Proper power user stuff right here my man. This is just what I was looking for! 🙌🏽
Thanks! Happy it was helpful
New sub here! Super helpful, just what i needed!
Welcome! Thanks for subscribing!
Great tutorial! You saved a few hours for me :)
Glad I could help!
Great video! You deserve a sub for this. I mainly use clips to arrange my beats or make edits within them but now you've shown me more ways on how I can use them. Thanks. Looking forward to more vids like this.
Thank you so much 🙏 I appreciate the sub and will try to put out more vids like this
Thank you! Excellent presentation, particularly keeping the hardware in view.
I took on way too much by getting Maschine Mk3 and then getting super excited about Ableton. The learning curve was already too great for my old brain and then I decided to buy the Maschine Plus with only a scant knowledge of either system and very little experience. As a result I have only ever scratched the surface of what either can do.
Clips looked like a whole new world and very complex so I left it alone. Now I am more confident with the hardware, I am ready to tackle clips and you make it sound essential.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, the learning curve is steep, but once you move past the learning curve, you'll have a lot of fun creating with Maschine. Clips are definitely essential once you start trying to create full-length tracks!
sending automation to a clip is genius!
Glad you liked the tip!
Job well done Extremely helpful
Thanks you!
Great stuff - thanks so much👍🏻
Thanks! And you’re welcome
Awesome video explaining clips!! Thanks!

Thank you! And that's exciting. I hope you like it
Great videos @Music Memor - subscribed and looking forwards to future content - never really gotten to grip with clips mode but gonna go and give these 16 tips a try right now. As frustrating as it has been at times to be a Maschine user all these years I sincerely believe it is inches away from greatness. Hoping the promised software update sometime in 2024 finally gives me the ability to record and capture jammed pattern, mute and lock mode swapping easily within Maschine. On a separate note - you seem like a dude who might know - is there a way to record the automation from the ribbon controller when you have it set to 'Mod' mode? Been making a track today and in one sound slot I have Playbox providing the lead sound - the Mod wheel is opens and closes the filter. I put Maschine in AUTO mode and tried to capture the information from the ribbon controller in the same way as if I was recording automation on the 8 rotary encoders and nothing happens!
Thanks for the feedback! And I agree with you. Maschine is so close to being so good. I'm excited for that software update too! Hopefully a new Maschine model as well.
As for the automation recording, I tried this with playbox. I had the auto button pinned so it was lit up. Also, I had record activated so the recording button was lit up. Then, I was able to record the automation with the touch strip in mod mode. Hopefully this works for you
@@MusicMemor - thanks mate - I tried that with record and auto enabled and I was able to capture that mod wheel automation
u can record your jammed pattern allready? just put input to internal master in the record menu
@@bastarddonthemove - wow 🤩- let me see if I can get this to work when I get home today - are you ok if I fire you some questions on how to set it up if I struggle or…. @MusicMemor could you add it to the list for a vid?
@@alextaylor4272 Awesome!
great tutorial thank you! What kind of approach you suggest when I have full song acapella and I build song around it. I have also Ableton but do you recommend create only clips? Or what is the best way to do this. Cuz if I out first acapella and then make scenes acapella cuts always. I can make blank scenes first and arrangement and then put acapella. Suggest your best way on this case. Thank you!
Usually, I would try to add some scenes and then add the acapella with a clip. It's okay that when you add more scenes, the acapella clip cuts. You can drag the ends of the acapella clip and that will solve the issue
@@MusicMemor ok thank you alot!

Do you work mostly in the software or standalone on the Maschine plus??
If I am in my apartment, I'm usually always using the plus as a controller with the software. I like using standalone mode to get outdoors and make beats
How do you use Maschine in scene modes with clips?
I may be misunderstanding your question, but you would have to switch back and forth between scenes and clips.
Maschine Plus song mode is cruel!!! Im going to learn though
It takes a second to learn but once you do, it opens up way more possibilities with maschine!
Hi.My name is Roman, I'm from Moscow.I really hope for your understanding and support.Please tell me how can I increase the Pattern in the Piano roll?
Hi Roman - When you are in the piano roll view, you can increase the pattern length by typing in a number in the middle area of the right side of the screen. It's a section that says "Length: 4:0:0" for a pattern that is 4 bars or "Length: 2:0:0" if your pattern is currently 2 bars.
Sorry, this is hard to explain through text, but I hope you are able to figure it out
@Music Memor (BxHill) - how much is your comprehensive Maschine going to cost , and will it be useful for Mk3 owners-?
I’m still filming the course right now and haven’t decided on pricing just yet. I’ll need to see the final result. But it’ll be for both maschine mk3 and maschine plus users. All the material will apply to maschine mk3 users except the section on standalone for the plus
@@MusicMemor sounds good, sorry for the inquiry bombardment , i have been meaning to ask you , just haven’t had a minute;
thanks for amiable, congenial and prompt response, you’re a good solid teacher and host 🙏🏼
@@hypgnosis3159 No worries at all! You can ask me anything. And thank you for the compliments
@@MusicMemor Respect 👍☮️😎
So how do yoy convert a single pattern to a clip on the hardware?? I cant find this anywhere!
I'm not sure how to do it on the hardware either. I tried several things right now. I'm not sure if it's possible tbh. I haven't seen it done through any videos I learned from. I only know how to do it in the software
@@MusicMemor ok, so i don't know if it's possible....but, for those wondering, I found one way...bit of a hack: copy the events in the pattern...and literally paste them into the target empty clip!
Also, related, when using samples, like recording voice or guitars etc, to get the sample into the clip on the hardware...covert the sample to an audio module, make sure the sound is selected and then make a clip in the song mode and when you increase it's size...boom...the sample is just in the clip!
Took me FOREVER, to work these two things out! Hope it helps Maschine+ heads!
@@Curleyguitars Nice! Those are great tips! Thanks for sharing
Do automation actions go in the clips?
Sorry, I posed the question before I watched the whole thing LoL
@@CannedFunkMusic lol no worries!
This should be applicable to Mk3, correct? no?
Yup, everything here should work on maschine mk3
@@MusicMemor Thank you ! i kinda figured, and i know for more advanced users (like yourself) it’s probably obvious, i’m just reaffirming and making sure… i love your videos, me and my brother both have Mk3 and both recently subbed to your channel thanks again !! 🙏🏼✅
@@hypgnosis3159 Thanks for subbing! and i'm glad you like the videos. I'll try to keep on putting out content
Can you convert a clip to a pattern?
No, you can’t. But you could copy all the midi from your clip and then paste it into a pattern in the Ideas View. That’s the way i’d do it
You should charge for this information.
haha thanks. I suppose I do charge for some info with the Maschine course I have. But I'm happy to share valuable stuff for free in these videos
