User templates for external MIDI instruments for Maschine and Maschine Plus
I'm looking at using my Maschine+ as part of my Live Rig. Mostly to perform Midi Out to External Instruments. 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…

The goal is to have an easy way for users to apply mods/hacks that have been shared on the…
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…

Maschine plus and Ableton clock
Good day, I recently bought a Maschine Plus hardware and I have read the manual. What is the best and easiest way to sync clock the Maschine+ as a stand alone with Ableton. Is there a USB possibility or only via midi cable through my external audio interface to Maschine+ ? Thanks for your time, George Stergiou

How do you import multi-samples into Maschine sampler? Please Help.
I used to do this with instruments built in Mainstage, but either something was wrong or I lost the knowledge, having been spoiled by Maschine's multisampler. I would take the multisamples with the metadata in each file name for note and velocity, then drag them into the left column of the zone page. They would…
Having issues transferring multi-samples into Maschine sampler, please help:)
I use to do this all the time, sample in MainStage then drag the files into the zone section and Maschine would read the meta data in each files name and place each sample in its specific zone. well today I pulled up a project with some of my multisamples requiring me to “locate” each sample. So I found the folder, dragged…
Is it possible to use the M+ USB inputs in controller mode?
Hi! I've been using Maschine for a bit over a decade now and just upgraded to a Maschine+, which I've mostly been using in standalone mode. However, I also like to make DJ sets using modular setups in Ableton, with a lot of different controllers… And cable management can get quite tedious. So, I was wondering whether it…

As far as i know, this instrument was…

Maschine Central Expansion
I've purchased the MCE and the only content I able to see and use are the kits. Nothing in Sounds or Loops, and One Shots only show Drums and Percussions.

Ghosting on MK2 screens?
Hi! I haven't used my Maschine MK2 for a while, so I forgot how the screens on it look. I started slicing samples and I love to zoom them in to get a more precise slice, but I notice significant ghosting on the screen when scrolling the slices, also some artifacts on the waves. Is this normal, can someone using MK2…

Why did NI remove great features
these are the controller options for a Komplete Kontrol S mk1 on maschine 2. These options do not exist on maschine 3. If given a choice I would have picked this over mp3 import or tempo change both of which I have simple work around for. 🤷‍♂️ seems dumb to me.

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?
