Maschine Plus glitching with Teenage Engineering Products

kasselvania

Hey everyone,

I have a Maschine Plus, which I love, but I have been having incompatibility issues when using it with Teenage Engineering products.

Mainly, my issue comes when using the TE product as an audio interface with the Maschine Plus. I will use my TX-6, and everything is fine for a few minutes, but eventually, the audio driver will crash, and the TX-6 won't receive audio. If I go to the Maschine Plus settings, change the audio interface to "internal," and then back to "TX-6," everything starts up again (only to crash again in a few minutes).

Does anybody else have a Maschine Plus and some TE products they have tested? NI and TE have both replaced my products, but the issue persists...

Despite is step price, I’m afraid TX-6 could not be the best choice as audio interface for M+.

Out of curiosity: are you using it battery powered or plugged into power socket?

So, I already had the TX-6 when I won the Maschine Plus, so I was hoping they would work together. If they worked well as a couple, it would actually be an amazing pair and audio interface for the Maschine Plus.

To answer the question, the TX-6 is battery powered. I have turned off the USB charging in an attempt to fix the problem. The Maschine is obviously powered via the wall.

I have tried things like altering the hit rate on the TX-6 and more, but it keeps happening.

So it can be used only through batteries? No way to use it plugged?

Nope. It is battery powered. You can choose for the power to come from the internal battery or through the USB. I have tried both.

That’s what I meant (power through usb)

Ah, yeah, you can choose for it to be powered internally or turn off the power flow for grounding purposes, which then drives the device off of the internal battery.
