![]() Resizing the Contents pane-you can now drag the Contents pane to your preferred width and have it stick at that width until you change it again.My favourites-the My favourites page (link on the main dark blue task bar) explains how you can save time navigating around the website by setting up your own favourites list of up to 10 of the titles you need to access regularly.(Note that your selection sticks for all subsequent searches until you change it again.) Search page point-in-time button-by clicking the enable/disable point-in-time buttons on the website Search page, you can now decide if you want your search to return results as at a particular point-in-time date (default is the date you’re searching) or return results for all relevant versions of titles with no selected point-in time date.(Click the blue Help ? button on the Export page for more information.) Export functionality-the Export link on the right of the screen above the dark blue task bar facilitates downloading XML files, including bulk downloads, for the In force and Repealed collections on the website.Breadcrumbs for search hits located in schedules-to make it easier to locate a search hit in the context of the whole title, breadcrumbs are now displayed in the same way (above the timeline) as search hits in the body of a title.Inline history notes-you can now use the Turn history notes on/off button for In force and Repealed titles to display details of the history of change at the provision level 'inline' under the relevant provision.That’s still your location for everything, but Kontakt and Maschine owners will want Native Access to be their starting point. NI presents you with a choice of downloads based on whether you’re using the latest Komplete stuff (which works with Native Access) or everything else, like so: There are some bug fixes and related improvements, as well.īut obviously, those effects alone give you plenty to play with. Scratcher (Turntable – but not just a brake, also a pitchshifter delay)Īlso related to the Native Access software, you can sync up an updated version of the Maschine Factory Library.This is the software update that is built for the new Maschine Jam hardware, so a lot of it is to do with supporting new features in Jam.īut even if you don’t own Jam, you get a number of improvements.Īll the new Perform FX from Jam are available to Maschine owners, irrespective of software. Okay, that out of the way, let’s talk about one of those updates – Maschine 2.5.

Indeed, the program won’t even let you quit if a download is underway. So you see a version number, but you don’t know what’s improved.

And odds are pretty good you’ve head a headache with one of those tools at one time or another.Ī new piece of software called Native Access is gradually replacing that. Here’s the deal: NI software has in the past been scattered across a set of manual support downloads and two tools, one called Service Center and one called Komplete Downloader. ![]() There’s a good chance it could make your life easier, and keep you up to date with software like the Maschine update that dropped last week.
