User templates for external MIDI instruments for Maschine and Maschine Plus

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…

Good evening, I have recently bought the Maschine+ and it works great. I just cannot find one thing, that is important to me.

Is it possible to record a hybrid set : the dj part from traktor pro 3 and the live part (maschine+)
hi everyone ! I saw that it was possible to do a dj set with traktor pro 3 + controller and a live performance with maschine + (with maschine + plugged to maschine software) So i was wondering if it was possible to record both the dj set and live set in one audio file ? Tell me if I’m not clear :)
How to export MIDI of a pattern in stand alone mode?
Hi, I'd like to export the MIDI of the patterns I created. I'm using Maschine+ in standalone mode. I tried the File → Export option, but all I get is the option to export audio.

I can record one track…

Is there anyway to record the MIDI notes from pattern switches?
If i have a number of patterns in one particular group, and I'm switching between patterns to make a more complex loop, is there anyway to capture those MIDI notes either in my DAW (Protools) or possibly record that 'performance' into another pattern?? It would be so hard/complex to program what I can easily accomplish by…

Maschine Software won't show up after Hardware registration
Hello, I bought Maschine MIKRO MK3 and registered the hardware in NA. The instructions says that the software serial should show up in NA after registration of the hardware and I've refreshed NA several times now. So far only Massive, Monark and Prism show up but the MASCHINE software not. How can I resolve this issue?
