One of the main questions I get about Maschine 2.0 is how to make your pads cut each other off since they removed the group polyphony setting.
Many of us used this setting to quickly have our chops cut each other off as well as themselves. (really hope they bring this back)
For now, you have to put them in a choke group and assign a polyphony of 1 to all the pads, fortunately you can do this quickly using multi select mode.

Thanks Man, that really helped a lot!
Did not even know about the “Select All” feature as i just got myself the Maschine Studio with the new Software.
I am still trying to figure out soooo many things.
What I still did not really get is how you arrange full songs in Maschine.
Do you have a “workflow video” on how you would build up – lets say – a simple Song?
(Create Groups, Create different Patterns, Different Scenes, etc…)
I would really be interested in your workflow.
Best regards from Germany!
Glad to help bro!

glad to see this is a option was worried when the group pol didnt work!
I still want group poly back man lol
hey man ! i appreciate all the videos you do saint joe!! you da man,,, i got a problem with trying to record the samples in real time in my arrangement! i play along with the rest of the track and it plays but it wont record!!! and when i try to go into zone mode it fux with the first sample!! help a brotha out -e
Make sure you click apply after making your chops so they will be on the pads
i did that and when i did it messed up the first pads sample! and it still wont let me record it! i can play along with the arrangement but it wont record ! is there a way to record , or do i have to use samples live?
oh yeah i forget im using the studio and im new to maschine so i never played with the other maschines!
click “apply to” and send your chops to a new group, then press record and you can record into a pattern for that group
good lookin homie! knock did a video with pulp fiction movie samples , but it wasnt very informative he just went through the process and it was on the previous maschine , i was wondering how he got the youtube video directly to the maschine did you have a tutorial on that? or some other helpful hints??? im trying to put an LP together for my boys and we wanted to use some movie clips for hooks!
How you get stuff from YouTube depends mainly on your audio setup, some soundcards let you sample from whatever is playing on your computer and some do not.
Here’s a few ways

thx ill check em out! i appreciate ya man!
and is there a way to put a drfault pic up for my account here?? ive looked everywhere!
Yeah go to gravatar.com and setup a photo, as long as you use the same email you use here it will pull it over, and it works for any site that reads gravatar photos across the net 🙂
one more thing! i use the audio 6 dj interface as my interface ! would that work the same way i f i connected the mini headphone to rca to the rca out of my interface the same as the the other interfaces ,,, or will i need to get another interface for that? i know i can just convert the youtube videos to mp3 and convert those to wav as well,, im just tryin not to lose workflow cuz i got adhd and shit!!!
Yeah it would work the same way as long as you have a headphone jack and multiple inputs. I find sampling from an ipad or cell phone is even quicker, run the output into your interface and keep it moving 🙂
you da man! how can i change the spped of a sample??? i try to chop samples and they dont fit in so i find myself slowing the bpm on the track ,, i know ther has to be a way to speed up the sample . i cant figure out timestreching it lets me adjust the bpm in the slice but t doesnt change! ima have to buy you a drink or something!!lol
Timestretching would be the way to do it, make sure you actually hit “stretch” after you adjust it, check this out

i have studio and 2.0 so im lost! is there a way to sync it to change it as i change the tempo in the song? right now i have the chops recorded in the beat at 68.71 cuz thats where they matched the sample. now i need to change the whole tempo to like 90 bpm . is there a way to do that?
Maschine doesn’t have realtime timestretch so you would have to manually stretch the samples in the sample edit page in order to change them
frustrating! when i change the bpm for the samples it slows the sample down! wtf ? it may be because the tutorial is for 1.8 im retarded too so thats prolly the case!
nah lol, the timestretch works the same 🙂
make sure you’re not changing the original bpm and you’re changing the target bpm
so source is original and new is target? because i changed it from new bpm and hit apply and it slowed down lol
Yep, source is the original bpm. New would be what you’re changing it to. So set the source to the original bpm 67.81 and then set the new bpm.
AHAAAAAAAA! thats the problem!!! i wasnt changing the source
No doubt 🙂
is there a way to add adsr to the whole group at once, i like that more than poly
Press select, choose all, then set adar on one of the pads, it will set it on all pears that are selected.
Hi Saint Joe! I’ve got a Maschine Mikro MK2. I’m trying to follow the video step by step, but I’m having trouble trying to follow the video seeming you’re using a full Maschine interface as opposed to the more compact Mikro interface. I’m trying to learn how to set everything up physically on the hardware as opposed to using my mouse and the app itself on the computer screen. Would you be able to touch lightly step by step on how to go through the process on the Mikro please? Thank you so much in advance mate.
Press select, choose all so all pads are selected, then go into pad mode and change the choke group to 1 or whichever you want. That will put them all in the same choke group.
Whats up, all of a sudden when I used the select all feature for a sample the tune only works if I control it from the software, but when I adjust it from the hardware, It only works on the pad I have highlighted although the choke option still works for all pads…if i control it from the hardware, is this a glitch or something in 2.3, Maschine Sudio..
Yeah there’s a bug in the update that messed up the multi select options when tweaking certain parameters. Hopefully we get a fix for it soon.
ok cool,. I guess I can work around it by adjusting it manually then until they fix it,
Thanks saintjoe,,,
No doubt fam, it definitely sucks.
Very helpful
Glad to help fam!
