Hey there, wondering if Maschine sw can recognise and pickup the signal from the microphone port ? I will use Voice Memos for now or garageband on iPad.

I think a solution will be to get a usb condenser mic.

    Hey @IQMusic the Maschine software should be able to use the Mac's microphone if you select the mac's onboard soundcard in Maschine's preferences. You wouldn't be able to select the USB condenser mic as it has no output and Maschine requires a soundcard with inputs and outputs. You could try to create an aggregate device though: How to Create an Aggregate Device (macOS)
