MASCHINE 2.7 Software Update has Arrived

The major 2.7 software update to Native Instruments Maschine has arrived with the highly anticipated features delivering on the promise.

Real-time sample time-stretching will be familiar to anyone who uses Ableton Live’s warp function, but now you are able to do it on Maschine. Any pre-cut loops will simply play in time with the project, no matter their speed, and they’ll adjust automatically to the project’s tempo changes.The Audio plug-in does the hard work for you. After that, the Pattern behaves as it always has, whether it contains MIDI, audio loops, or a combination of both.

Other additions to MASCHINE 2.7 include the new loop hot-swapping feature which is useful when you need some creative inspiration in the studio. It allows you to load audio loops into your Maschine project as easily as you would change a synth preset, enabling you to browse loops quickly until you find something that fits. The gate mode, meanwhile, means a loop will only be heard when you hit the pads, also opening up possibilities for melodic re-pitching.

In this video we will show you all of the inspiring new features of the Audio plug-in, and what they mean for your beatmaking.

MASCHINE 2.7 is a free update for all MASCHINE 2 owners.
