Third-party plugins just get a standard graphic and preset selector. For example, Massive reveals its Macros, LFOs and envelopes, while Reaktor Prism shows its full Ensemble. There's more on the mixer section below, but the Plug-in Strip simply shows all of the plugins loaded onto the currently selected mixer layer (Master, Group or Sound) as a horizontal list, with interactive "custom panels" for Maschine's internal effects, Sampler and Drumsynths (we'll get onto the latter in due course) and all NI plugins.Ĭertain NI plugins also get an expanded panel in the Strip, called Additional view - some the full GUIs, others reduced versions of them. It also represents all your integrated NI instruments, effects and Maschine Expansions with pictures rather than just text. The more 'visual' new Browser does away with the column-based layout in favour of a tag filtering system that essentially achieves the same thing in a different way. It also brings with it a Follow mode and the ability to freely set the loop range. That'll be enough to get many upgrading on its own, as will the new Arranger view, which displays Scenes on a standard bars-'n'-beats timeline rather than the abstract fixed-length blocks of old. When it comes to the numbers, "unlimited" appears to be the new watchword, applying to Groups (used to be limited to eight), Scenes (64) and plugins (four per Group, three per Sound). The multicore support certainly hits the spot: a project pushing the CPU meter into the red on our i7 iMac in Maschine 1.8 barely tickled 40% in Maschine 2.0. Maschine 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the software, introducing a fresh, clean new look, a new audio engine with multicore support and plenty of workflow enhancements and new toys.
