Ideas for handling USB audio coming out of Maschine+ and one other device?
Wondering if anyone has found a solution for this kind of unique scenario…
I'm currently sending four channels of audio out from Maschine+ via USB (Groups A,B,C,D) into the USB-in of a digital mixer for live performance. Works great.
But now I have another separate device, with its own four-channel USB audio out, that I'd like to add to the mixer.
The problem is the digital mixer only has one USB-in port, currently occupied by the Maschine+ USB output…
So I was hoping I could route this second device's USB audio out into Maschine+ (i.e., assign them to Groups E,F,G,H), and then have the combined USB channels all pass through to the mixer. But as far as I can tell, Maschine+ doesn't support USB audio in; it only supports 16 channels going out.
Has anyone else found a way to accommodate "merging" USB audio channels from two separate devices?

Are you saying you're using your mixer as an interface for maschine? You have it connected to a USB A port?
If so; you're not sending "USB Audio" out (Maschine can't do that). Maschine is using your mixer as an audio interface. You can't use more than 1 interface.

Yes, to be more specific: I have the Maschine+ USB A port connected to a Behringer XR18 mixer's USB C port, through which I'm sending to the mixer 4 channels of USB audio. In Maschine+ > Settings > Audio > Device I have "HwX18XR" specified, and for each Maschine+ Group, in Channel > Group > Output > Audio > Dest, I have Ext 1, Ext 3, etc. specified; I'm not using any other output jacks on the Maschine+.
So, I'm already getting USB audio out of the Maschine+ fine… Now I'm just trying to figure out how I can take a completely separate device's USB audio out channels (say, 5 through 8) and combine/merge those with the Maschine+ (1 through 4) into the XR18 mixer.
Assuming the Maschine+ has no mechanism for receiving that separate device's USB audio channels and "passing them through" to the XR18, I'm just looking for alternative solutions.

Correction: On the XR18 it's USB B, not USB C.
