Is there a good workaround for the midi sensitivity issue of Maschine MK3 yet?

[Alpha]-0mega-

Hiya. I bought a Maschine MK3 a while ago, and although I love everything about it when it comes to integration with Maschine, I would love to sometimes just use it as a midi controller for Battery4 or other tools too. However, I'm still suffering from the problem that midi mode reduces the sensitivity enormously (even with sensitivity set to max and 'soft' velocity curve set)

In one thread (1st one in the list) they talked about logging the issue as ticket 'HWM-823', but haven't heard or seen anything about it ever since.

Is this issue still being worked on? Is there a solution yet? Again, I really love Maschine in combination with the NI software, but this specific thing is a really annoying quirk that's kind of hurting my enjoyment of the device.

Here's some references from the old forums talking about the issue:

Hey [Alpha]-0mega- Unfortunately this is by design, Pad data is always transferred in a proprietary hi-res format to the host, in Maschine mode it is interpreted by Maschine software, in MIDI mode pad data is converted to MIDI data by a different software. Maschine mode uses a better protocol which also leads to a higher sensitivity. The ticket you mention was logged in but it got closed by development with the above explanation. Sorry to bring the bad news here, it's probably not what you'd like to hear. Since the old forum is now defunct, we weren't able to update these old posts. Thanks to your post we can answer it here.
