In short, too much velocity can sound inauthentic. You may find, however, that the expressive nature of Maschine’s pads doesn’t quite nail the ‘robotic’ sound of old grooveboxes. Take a decent selection of drum machine samples, lay them across the 16 slots in a group and get sequencing. Maschine excels at replicating the workflow of vintage drum boxes, particularly in step sequencer mode. But with an acid-friendly filter and cool morphing oscillator, it can be a great source of fat, gritty sounds. Pretty much all users have access to Monark, Prism and Massive these days, so it’s easy to ignore the application’s own basic-looking offering.
Bass timeĭon’t overlook Maschine’s built-in Bass Synth. A little movement can make a basic sample kit more pro-sounding. Final modulation options allow for velocity and mod wheel signals to be routed to the same destinations. There’s also an additional AHD envelope generator and multi-shape LFO, which can be routed simultaneously to pitch, filter cutoff, drive and pan. The sample amp envelope is in One Shot mode by default, but can be changed to make use of either an AHD or ADSR envelope generator for more precise control over the shape and level of sample playback. Maschine’s sampler modules have a lot of handy modulation options.
