Just tried following this link:
[sorry it wouldn't let me post the link, but google "Loading MASCHINE as a Multi-Timbral Instrument" and the first page that comes ups an NI support page on this]
Specifically the 'Loading MASCHINE as a Multi-Timbral Instrument' section..
Logic 10.7.7, Maschine 2.17
Created a 16-part multitimbral software instrument track for Maschine - loaded a drum kit from Groups browser - set each pad's channel MIDI Input in machine to source = Host and Channel = 1 through 16..
Playing MIDI into any of those channels, nothing makes any sound...
Can someone else confirm this?
[NOTE: the Drumkit routings method where everything is in one midi channel does work, but not the multitimbral method]
