I found the MIDIPresetsForExternalDevices.zip berried and was following this video: The problem is that the collection of presets does not have the following configurations for System 1, Arturia MicroFreak, Korg…
Probability and conditional triggers plugin for Maschine 2
I've created a VST/AU plugin called Chance Machine that allows me to set per-step probability and conditional trigger rules for patterns in Maschine. I thought I'd share this here as it might be useful to other Maschine users. It's only available for MacOS, though. It's a great way to add a bit of variation to patterns,…
Maschine+ Power Bank guide
Hi. Power bank info is scattered around a lot so consolidating all info in one thread might help new M+ users. I'll only cover the PD Option so this guide doesn't get huge, other options are in Post #2. This is not an official NI guide, just my findings and recommendations. If there are any mistakes or suggestions let me…
Maschine - how to optimize for performance?
Hello! I'm curious about how to best optimize Maschine running on my Mac Studio. I've read in a couple different places that it's best (overall) to install plugins on your built-in SSD and install+run sample libraries from an external SSD. Is this correct for Maschine, though? Currently I have all of my plugins, sample…

Problem loading kits into Maschine.
I had previously used Maschine 2 with a Maschine mk1 controller. I got a Maschine Mk3 for Christmas and installed all the packages and software bundle that came with it.

MK3, Cue, Solo, Mute
To whom it may concern, I am offering a short explanation on how Cue works in Maschine MK3: When you engage the cue switch of groups or sounds, the corresponding audio will be routed solely and always to the respective audio channel/device. Solo and Mute have no effect when cue is on. As far as I know, effects don't have…

After emailing support and waiting for weeks I still don't have maschine software
So I emailed support weeks ago; they've responded multiple times with very vague and unhelpful responses that didn't solve my issue. I've explained multiple times, with pictures and proof, that I do not have the Maschine software for my Maschine device, which I registered on their website. It doesn't show up; I have…
In Maschine 3, MIDI notes aren't being recorded and can't be drawn with pencil tool
Since buying my MK3, I'm loving it. I've since tried bringing an external synth into the mix, and that's when this issue started. This happens with USB to MIDI and MIDI cables as well. When playing the pads in keyboard mode, I can hear the synth, and see the notes light up on the piano roll, but no data is saved during the…
Maschine 3 crashes at every start on scanning plugins
I've cleand the registry and the appdata folder. I only scan vst3. I removed all other paths than the vst3 path. The scan hangs every time I try. And it hangs on random plugins.

Wrong Buffersize passed to VST3 Interface in Maschine 3.01
Hi folks, seems I found a bug in Maschine SW. Reproducable with Maschine 2 and Maschine 3 Software. Also reproducable with WIN11 and MacOS 15. It seems that VST3 Instruments with variable buffer-size always get Buffersize 128 as parameter when initialized. This leads to Pops and Crackles in CPU Heavy Instruments and…
