I know timestretch is a sore spot for many Maschine users, and I will admit, it’s not something I use much at all. I didn’t use it when I was on the mpc, and I don’t use it much now, didn’t even use it in Ableton…BUT…I know it’s a major tool and need for many so was just messing around with it.
Many have discussed the various ways you can timestretch using Kontakt, in fact, once 1.6 was announced with vst/au support many people immediately thought of this option, but I still have been getting questions on how to go about it.
I believe there are various ways and types of timestretch, the one I’m covering here is not the offline, audio process, but more of a realtime, go from one tempo to the next type of thing.
So just check it out, and remember what I’m doing can be done with the free UVI Workstation as well as Kontakt. I actually figured it out on UVI first, then tried in Kontakt, just because I know everyone doesn’t own Kontakt.

Nice vid SJ
thanks for checking it.
Nice I have to learn Kontakt 4
word bro
Excellent video. Another option that I use to timestretch within Maschine is using Geist. Also Record’s timestretching is clean now that I got the Rewire VST I start using it together with Maschine.
yeah geist is an option too, and yes, using Record or Ableton via rewire is another 🙂
Nice!
thanks bro!
Thanks Man! Just got home from work, I’m going to dive right into this one…Do u think its a way to do this w Ableton live using the rewire vst?
Yeah man, definitely, that one is on the list (ableton) it will work via rewire like you say man, since ableton is a rewire slave.
great video… NI needs a simple “sync” bottom like battery has..lol. That’s my wish! what u think?
yeah man, it would be dope
Ihave kontak that came with the free 1.6 upgrade.But when i load samples in it it says demo. some are free and some i paid for.And i have some samples that came with computer music mags in kontak formatt that it wont play.im lost.
you have kontakt player, not the full version of kontakt, that’s why it says demo mode when you drag a sample in, it let’s you demo the full version of kontakt for 30 minutes
where did u get that jazz sample pack from that was nice?
it’s not a sample pack, it’s some library music I purchased directly from its creator many years ago, he used to make stuff for radio/film, and was selling a whole collection, I bought it because that stuff is royalty free, I couldn’t pass it up lol.
I dont blame you they were bangin.Thanks for the help Saintjoe.
you got it bro!
Having a lot of fun with this one man lol – opens up all kinds of possibilities.
Cool man, all about having fun bro!
BATTERY 3 IS GOOD TOO..
yep, battery works as well, I like to use a sampler like uvi or kontakt though as opposed to another drum sampler in maschine
Thanks so much St Joe. I’d never heard of the rewire vst but now I got it working with live and it’s wonderful (till NI gives us time stretching that is)
Cheers!!
word fam, glad to help!
do u have to load n instance for each chop u make?
i’m not sure what you’re asking? If you want to timestretch each chop and you want to have one chop on each pad, then you would have to load each chop into it, so yes you’d have to use multiple instances.
thot so
nice video, exactly what i’m looking for! (UVI)
how do I get UVI onto a track like you have it on track 3…is this what a VST is? is there a simple walkthrough you could give me how to set that up as I tried briefly and didnt really have a clue! many thanks in advance!
Not sure what you mean how to get it on a track? You mean how to load vsts?
check this out: https://maschinetutorials.com/managing-vst-and-au-plugins-inside-maschine
or this: https://maschinetutorials.com/how-to-load-komplete-elements-in-maschine-1-6
you have uvi on track 3 no? was wondering how you do that…ill check the vid now thx
yeh those vids explain it, especially the 2nd one…good
looking out!
cool man, glad to help
having real trouble with this….got to 2:40 ok, (copied my sample to a new track with UVI workstation loaded to) however cant find my sample in uvi’s browser…I have never created a shortcut or folders for my plugins/favourites etc as this is the first time im trying it, so do you know where I find my sample?
i access the native instruments folder – maschine – sounds – but its empty…..
depends on what type of sample you’re using, is it something you sampled into Maschine? if so it’s going to be in your Maschine user folder under recordings. This folder is whever your documents are on your computer, for PC users it’s just in your my documents then there is an NI folder, with a Maschine folder in it.
wow you really spoil us responding in 5 minutes!!
yeh its a sample from vinyl into maschine…
the recordings folder seems empty in UVi …. 🙁
inside maschine you can actually click on save as, from the sample menu itself, and tell it where to save your sample if you want, then point uvi to it.
yes by doing this it saves it as a .mfxp file and i can see it in the recordings folder through the browser in uvi….however, when i click ok, nothing happens, it doesnt appear in a “part” in uvi nor do i get a sound when i press the corresponding pad on mashcine… confused :-(!!
you didn’t save the sample, you have to go into sample edit, then there is a save as screen there, in the actual sample edit page, not the sound/pad or the group.
Ok I Will have a look again tonight – Really appreciate this help SaintJoe….
saintjoe – you’re the man!! got it in the end…
its on now!!!
anyone have any ideas how to get it working? thx!!
Glad you got it fam!! That’s whasup!
am i right in thinking you then sample it back into the maschine, playing the timestretched sound back into maschine’s sampler? so you dont use this drag n drop icon on UVI?
yeah you can do it that way if you want to chop it, if you just want to loop it you can leave it in the uvi player. The drag and drop icon will export it at the original tempo I believe, but you can try and see!
this is very frustrating…so im trying to play stretched sounds back into maschine via the sampler, but i only get one go at it, because after one go at sampling, maschine seems to go to sampler and i have to load the sound into VST again ? ! so weird…
go to a different group/pad, set the sampling to internal, and set it to sample whatever group you have uvi on
that way, you don’t loose your sample in uvi, and you can record your sample to a new group/pad to work with it 🙂
tried setting sampling to internal, set it to sample the group i had uvi on but it does the same…i dont like how im playing in the sample, so delete it after 1 attempt…however, then no sound comes out when i press the keyboard keys so i have to load up the uvi again …
not sure what you’re doing fam.
go to a different group/pad and set that pad to sample internal, not the pad that you have uvi on.
when you delete, what did you delete? If you delete what’s on the pad (uvi) then it will be gone. If you just want to delete what you recorded you do that on the pad you recorded to, not the pad with uvi on it.
I’ll have a look at it tonight after work.
how do you record to another pad? when i try that there’s no sound when i play my keyboard…
Aight, I’m confused now lol. Are you trying to play a pattern with the sample you have in uvi or are you trying to record the audio of the timestretched pattern back into maschine so you can chop it?
If you are just trying to record a pattern with the timestretched sample in uvi, you don’t need to be in sample mode.
so basically i was trying out the timestretch in uvi….dont have anything that needs it yet but wanted to try it for someting in the future. However, once I put my sample in uvi, was playing with it and found it made a better sample if I “played” it out a few keys,…..so i want to get this new “time-strteched” sample back into maschine. however, I can never get it sounding good on the first time..so the first “take” i do with the sampling i delete to try again but as I think you say it’s deleting the “plug-in” and… Read more »
Ahhh, okay, just play it and record as normal, if you don’t like it do a shift+clear (pad 9) to clear what you recorded, instead of doing a shift+erase+pad (uvi)
Yeeeah! that’s what im talking about st Joe!! why do i make it so complicated??!!
lol, it’s all good fam!!
im new to the site 🙂 and this video wa sworth the first monthly payment for me good work SaintJoe
Glad to help fam, plenty more here and more to come! Welcome!
Excellent! (Mr. Burns voice)
NIce! lol, glad you could use it!
Well I’ll find out tonight. But the video was just what I was have been scouring the net for. As far as being able to chop and apply each pad, I think I’ll just do it like in the video.
dope man!
Well I’ll find out tonight. But the video was just what I was have been scouring the net for. As far as being able to chop and apply each pad, I think I’ll like Knock does in one of his videos and duplicate the sample numerous times once I get it good and stretched.
yep, very fast way to work fam!
Worked like a charm! It was so simple too! I’m a Kontakt newb. 😉
There you go son!! Get ya stretch and chop on fam!!
Another great tutorial! One thing I’m stuck with! sampled a record from turntable And right clicked sample and saved it to my sample drive! But when opened kontakt the sample wasn’t there, am I doing something wrong? Cheers fam
Nice one! It’s cool fam should’ve read all the posts before posting myself! Answer already there! Got it working! Sorted!
Glad you got it working bro!
Thanks sj, learning new shit everyday and loving it! Before mt all I used was play, record, mute, now I’m timestreaching, sequencing, creating multiple patterns, sampling, really using maschine to it’s full potential! Love this place !
awesome man! that sounds like a dope testimonial if we had an ad or something lol hahaha, nah, glad you dig it man we try hard to dig as deep as possible and also cover all the basics!
Lol it does sound like one of they ads on tv! Well If u ever do one I’m ur man! Haha
LOL love it fam lol hahahaha, we really appreciate the love!
hey sj just wana say good to b bak on here fame got kontakt now just a wondering why i have to hold the pad for the sample to play wich stops me from adjusting tempo as its playing how do i trigger the full loop by hitting the pad without holding ? cheers man
you can change it to oneshot in kontakt, what I like to do is just draw a note that’s as long as I need it to be for the pattern so I can keep tweaking the sample.
kool thanks mate
Thanks m8!I want to ask if its possible somehow to export the time streched sample from kontakt for slicing?
you could try resampling it back into Maschine.
i didnt want to read through all the responses to see if this question was asked already and i do appreciate the ability to ask question on this website. well here is mine. what if you have a sample that you choped up into 4 different pieces, three of the pieces match the tempo but one of them is off by a bpm or two, do you have a tutorial on how to make that one sample stretch to fit the bpm and the other three remain the same. is that a time stretch feature or is that something else.… Read more »
You could just drag that one section into UVI and work with it
it would also work if i did it kontakt right?
Yes I just said uvi since you commented on this post
yoo joe…heard u say at the beginning of the vid…uvi workstation may be better with loops that have tempo data in them already (like those from loop libraries)…and kontakt works better if you wanna time stretch your own samples that you may have chopped up…have you ever used uvi with samples that you may have chopped up as opposed to those in loop libraries?! wanna kno how good is the time stretch algorithm…holla…lol…
I’ve used it on both, but the new uvi is a bit better than the old one was so, it’s all good 🙂
aite cool…sounds good…just downloaded uvi…so i’ll check it out…
Cool fam, good luck.
How do I actually load the UVI Workstation onto a single pad?
Make sure it’s checked in the plugin menu
Nevermind, I restarted my software and it was there. Thanks dough.
Cool man
this video is not showing up for me bro. help. lol
Thanks for the heads up, check it now fam!
I cant access this video, is it normal?
What happens when you try to watch it?
