It’s never been easier to explore unique harmonic structures in your music. The new User Chords feature in Maschine 3 lets you easily craft unique chords and tailor your sound, all with an easy-to-use interface, real-time preview and editing, and more.
See User Chords in action with Product Specialist Matt Lara.
Here are some of the key highlights of the new User Chords that can help you elevate your sound:
Explore unique harmonic structures: Go beyond standard chord voicings and create entirely new and interesting harmonic combinations, unlocking possibilities for more original and distinctive musical ideas.
Tailor your sound to specific genres: Craft sounds that are suited to the nuances and harmonic characteristics of different music genres.
Create personalized chord sets: Build and save your own libraries of favorite or signature chord voicings. These personalized sets can be easily recalled later for use in different projects.
Easy chord creation: The process of creating custom chords is designed to be intuitive. Users can simply select the desired notes on the pads to build their chords. Lit pads visually indicate which notes are included.
Real-time preview and editing: Preview your custom chords as they are being built. Mistakes can be easily corrected by simply selecting a note again to remove it.
Key and octave manipulation: Once a chord is created, you can shift it up and down octaves and even change the root note while maintaining the same chord shape, simplifying the process of experimenting with different keys and harmonic contexts.
Integration with other Maschine features: User chords can be used in conjunction with other Maschine functionalities, such as the arpeggiator, to generate interesting melodic and rhythmic patterns.
