Maschine+ MIDI mode not working

MIDI keyboard into Maschine+ I have experience making some songs in the same way before. This happened after shutting down the device, i.e. upon reboot the MIDI would not function. I had tried [Settings - MIDI], [Channel-MIDI] using past settings and messing about with both illogical and logical configurations. Nothing seems to work. I tried BT MIDI and also wired MIDI (even changing a MIDI cable just in case). In desperation, I booted into controller mode and Maschine 2 software and after messing again (as above) suddenly the MIDI worked - it was under [Settings - MIDI], setting it to focus.

I reboot into standalone mode and nothing would work again. It is not the first/last time I am using MIDI on a Maschine+. Updated firmware to the latest 2.17.5. Any suggestions?

So I tried a synth device MIDI In/Out to the MIDI keyboard mentioned above. Goes bidirectional okay. That means it wasn't the MIDI keyboard or the cables, which only leaves the hardware or software settings on Maschine+

You mentioned changing MIDI settings, but did you set the Group/Sound to receive and react to MIDI on the channel the keyboard is sending?

Percivale

Thanks. Yep. Tried already. Now I can confirm MIDI works with MIDI keyboard on controller mode but not standalone.

@Percivale I just tested this:

Put a Monark instance on Group A Sound 1
Put a Drum kit on Group B
Connect Virus TI keyboard via USB
Settings -> MIDI -> MIDI Input -> Default -> NONE
Settings -> MIDI -> Input Devices -> Virus TI -> ON
Select Group A / Sound 1
Channel MIDI -> Sound -> Input -> MIDI -> Source: Virus TI

Now I can play Sound 1 via the Virus TI keyboard and to a drum pattern running on Group B.

What am I missing?

Maschine+

I am using 5-pin MIDI not USB.

@Percivale ok, with old fashioned DIN MIDI cable:

Put a Monark instance on Group A Sound 1
Put a Drum kit on Group B
Connect Virus TI keyboard via MIDI out to Maschine Plus MIDI in
Settings -> MIDI -> MIDI Input -> Default -> NONE
Settings -> MIDI -> Input Devices -> Maschine Plus/Maschine Plus MIDI 1 -> ON
Select Group A / Sound 1
Channel MIDI -> Sound -> Input -> MIDI -> Source: Maschine Plus/Maschine Plus MIDI 1

Now I can play Sound 1 via the Virus TI keyboard and to a drum pattern running on Group B.

Same as with USB.

Same problem here, I have my Roland JD-XA, 5 pin midi out to my Maschine Plus, nothing being received by it.

Can anyone help??
