In addition to seamless browsing through the tag-based Maschine and Komplete sound libraries, full support for NKS-ready plug-ins makes native in-app browsing for third party software possible. Maschine Jam also creates a workflow complementary to existing Maschine hardware.
A powerful Lock function stores parameter snapshots that can revert back to their original settings or morph between multiple lock states. The Smart Strips each feature multi-color LED meters to monitor the level of the assigned function, and can be used to alter macros, key instrument parameters, and even play melodies and chords with the unique Notes function. Each strip responds to simultaneous finger gestures to alter the motion, space, and dynamics of sounds in real time. New Perform FX map one of several effects to Jam’s touch strips. Maschine Jam’s eight dual-touch Smart Strips, located below the pad matrix, feature a broad set of functions unlocked with the free Maschine 2.5 software update: When the Variation Engine is enabled, beats and melodies can be randomly generated, based on customizable values, and then modified on the matrix. A built-in humanizer adds natural rhythmic fluctuations to programmed sequences. In Step Mode, the 8×8 matrix becomes a powerful multi-track step-sequencer for one, four, or eight sounds simultaneously. In Pad Mode, sounds are entered in real time, while Piano Roll Mode makes possible step-sequencing melodies in a wide variety of available scales. The Jam’s workflow centers around an 8×8 multicolor click-pad matrix where producers and performers can “experiment with arrangement possibilities,” using patterns and scenes:
Maschine Jam offers a unique set of hardware features that, NI says, “reinforces the creative process.”
