Maschine AUX Pre & Post behaviour

Max Trau

Hi,

I really don't get the way Pre & Post work in the AUX section of the mixer :

I have a synth (external audio in) in Sound 1, wich i want to aux send to Sound 2, to add reverb and other FX. Setting the AUX send is pretty straight forward, and works well.

My problem is that i want the AUX send to be PRE fader, in order to have only the Sound 2 playing, and being able to cut the fader of Sound 1.

No matter how i try, PRE setting seems to behave as POST setting, cutting the AUX send when i drop the volume fader to 0.

Is this a flaw in maschine, or something i missed in the settings ?

Thx for the answers, have a nice day.

Thx Jeremy,

That's exactly the setup i used last week, wich didn't work as expected.

Today, when checking the same project as saved last week, it works. Pretty mysterious.

Antway, problem solved for now, that's the most important !

Have a nice day

Hello,

on my machine it behaves like it should, really strange i never had that issue with maschine software.

In the meantime, i asked a friend to check on his own Maschine, wich works as intended. Seems to be a bug on mine, i will issue a ticket to support

Thx for the reply

are you sure that you set pre on the send of the pad/sound not the group or something?

Max Trau

Yep, i double checked everything before submitting the question.

BTW, if i route the AUX of a Group to another (typically to the main reverb bus), it does the same thing, PRE = POST.

Whatever level i'm in (sound to sound within the same group, group to sound in another group), the PRE function seems to be broken.

Therefore, i'm unable to hear my main reverb bus solo, i have to have all the groups unmuted. Pretty inconvenient.

If you use mute you have to set the sound to audio mute - otherwise you will have a behavior like this - unfortunately you can´t set maschine to use always audio mute in prefs, i would definetely prefer that. The setting is under "sound - output - audio".

with further testing, it happens that with a VST sending, it works as intended, but not with an external synth

@Max Trau I think I see where the problem lies. You set the aux for the sampler. You need to route the input in the Mixer view:

Here you need to select the input where you connected your synth.

Then select the aux send in the same channel:

Now you should hear your synth as you play it sent to the effect.
