@Véro Assata What's your operating system? What you describe is usually due to an issue with permissions of the Maschine program. If you're on Mac, make sure you give full disk access to Maschine, on Pc make sure you run Maschine as admin.

Also try to move the sample you want to edit to a different location on your computer, to check if that makes a difference.
