Maschine 3 Now With Stem Separation, New MIDI Tools and New Sound Library
Maschine 3 现在带有 Stem 分离、新的 MIDI 工具和新的声音库
The new version of Maschine 3 includes the long-awaited and cutting-edge Stem Separation, greatly expanded MIDI editing capabilities and an all-new sound library with Maschine Central. In addition to these key features, the software integrates basic support for the S-Series MK3 controllers and a new rendering function that offers creative possibilities and workflow optimizations. The software can now be used independently of the Maschine hardware, providing a flexible production solution that can be fully utilized with a laptop and no additional hardware.
新版本的 Maschine 3 包括期待已久的尖端 Stem 分离功能、大大扩展的 MIDI 编辑功能以及带有 Maschine Central 的全新声音库。除了这些关键功能外，该软件还集成了对 S 系列 MK3 控制器的基本支持和新的渲染功能，可提供创意可能性和工作流程优化。该软件现在可以独立于 Maschine 硬件使用，提供了一个灵活的制作解决方案，可以在笔记本电脑上充分利用，无需额外的硬件。
Maschine 3 Stem 分离
One of the key features of Maschine 3 is Stem Separation, which automatically separates audio files into different components such as drums, bass, vocals and other instruments. Powered by iZotope’s RX technology, Stem Separation provides high-quality sound separation for more creative sound design and sampling. Individual elements of a track can be isolated and used in your tracks, opening up new possibilities for remix projects and live arrangements.
Maschine 3 的主要特点之一是 Stem Separation，它会自动将音频文件分成不同的组件，例如鼓、贝斯、人声和其他乐器。Stem Separation 由 iZotope 的 RX 技术提供支持，提供高质量的声音分离，以实现更具创意的声音设计和采样。轨道的各个元素可以被隔离并在您的轨道中使用，从而为混音项目和现场编曲开辟了新的可能性。
MIDI Upgrades and More Sounds for Your Music Productions
MIDI 升级和更多声音，为您的音乐作品
The Maschine Central Library is a comprehensive collection of sounds and presets that provides everything you need for productions in all genres. The library includes more than 100 kits with samples for hip-hop, pop, funk, R&B, electronic, and more. There are also 144 Kontakt instruments and over 200 synthesizer presets for classic machines like Massive, Monark, and Prism. From vintage sounds to atmospheric synth pads to modern drill sounds, this library has everything you need to make music today. You won’t need anything else!
Maschine Central Library 是一个全面的声音和预设集合，提供了所有类型作品所需的一切。该库包含了100多个套件，其中包含了嘻哈、流行、放克、R&B、电子等的样本。还有 144 种 Kontakt 乐器和 200 多种合成器预设，适用于 Massive、Monark 和 Prism 等经典机器。从复古声音到大气的合成器垫，再到现代的 drill 声音，这个库拥有您今天制作音乐所需的一切。你不需要其他任何东西！
Another highlight of Maschine 3 is its advanced MIDI editing tools, which make editing MIDI notes even faster and easier. Notes can be split, merged, deleted and muted for precise control over complex arrangements. Audio previews for MIDI notes and keyboard shortcuts have also been added to further speed up the workflow when working on demanding projects. Also new is the ability to set a custom tempo for each scene, which is especially useful for live performances and dynamic song structures.
Maschine 3 的另一个亮点是其先进的 MIDI 编辑工具，它使编辑 MIDI 音符变得更快、更容易。音符可以拆分、合并、删除和静音，以便精确控制复杂的编曲。还添加了 MIDI 音符和键盘快捷键的音频预览，以进一步加快处理要求苛刻的项目时的工作流程。此外，它还能够为每个场景设置自定义速度，这对于现场表演和动态歌曲结构特别有用。

Key Features of Maschine 3 for More Creativity
Maschine 3 的主要特点，带来更多创意
A major new feature in Maschine 3 is the “bounce in place” feature, which converts sounds, patterns and ideas directly into audio files, saving CPU power. This will be music to the ears of many beat makers. Creating audio tracks in this way opens up a wide range of other creative possibilities and ensures more efficient use of resources. Expanded support for file formats such as MP3, MP4, FLAC and OGG also makes it easier to share and use files.
Maschine 3 的一个主要新功能是 “就地渲染” 功能，它可以将声音、pattern 和想法直接转换为音频文件，从而节省 CPU 资源。这将是许多节拍制作者耳中的音乐。以这种方式创建音轨可以开辟广泛的其他创作可能性，并确保更有效地利用资源。扩展了对 MP3、MP4、FLAC 和 OGG 等文件格式的支持，也使共享和使用文件变得更加容易。
Maschine 3中的就地渲染功能
The basic integration of Maschine 3 into the Kontrol S-Series MK3 expands the possibilities for users already working with this hardware. This includes transport commands and the seamless integration of features such as Play Assist. In addition, the module views of Maschine can be displayed on the S-Series displays. This support will be expanded in the future to streamline workflow between products.
Maschine 3 与 Kontrol S 系列 MK3 的基本集成为已经使用该硬件的用户扩展了可能性。这包括传输命令和 Play Assist 等功能的无缝集成。此外，Maschine 的模块视图可以显示在 S 系列显示器上。此支持将在未来扩展，以简化产品之间的工作流程。
Hardware Compatibility and Other Goodies
硬件兼容性和其他好处
Of course, Maschine 3 is fully compatible with the standard Maschine Series controllers, including the Maschine Mikro MK3, Maschine MK3, and Maschine Studio. You can also run Maschine+ in controller mode with the new software version, allowing you to work on cross-platform projects. With the upcoming update, Maschine 3.1, it will also be possible to fully integrate the software into the standalone mode of Maschine+, further expanding its functionality.
当然，Maschine 3 与标准的 Maschine 系列控制器完全兼容，包括 Maschine Mikro MK3、Maschine MK3 和 Maschine Studio。您还可以使用新的软件版本在控制器模式下运行 Maschine+，从而允许您处理跨平台项目。随着即将到来的更新 Maschine 3.1，软件也可以完全集成到 Maschine+ 的独立模式中，进一步扩展其功能。

我知道NI会在11月推出Maschine 3软件, 不过由于我的硬件在工作中使用程度较低, 所以这几天并没主动关注这个新闻, 不过就在今天, 11月6日, 突然发现油管和若干个网站突然爆发出Maschine 3软件版的新闻, 于是粗略看了一下, 并转载了过来. Maschine软件徘徊在版本2大概已经有数年之久了, 其落后的采样功能和在DAW中作为音色插件过于臃肿的一些劣势被广大用户吐槽已久, 这次应该是改进了不少, 并增加了一些功能, 比如拆分混音(这类功能一度非常热火, 似乎极为高端, 但仿佛在一两年内几乎所有的音频软件都有了这个功能), 再就是就地渲染, 这可以极大的节约硬件资源, 另外支持MP3格式总算是个跟得上时代的进步了. 要知道, Maschine的生态圈其实非常强大, 诸多高品质的节奏音色库, 是快速制作流行舞曲的巨大优势, 如果Maschine 3的软件做到了令用户满意, 只会令更多用户对这个生态圈产生黏性, 这对于(很会赚钱的)NI公司只会更加有利.
