Hi there,

I hope someone will help me sort this issue.

I used to sync Maschine and Traktor in Windows and I could send MIDI clock from Maschine to Traktor.

This is not the case with Mac.

These are my settings:

  • Traktor overall view

Trakror > Preferences > External Sync

Traktor > Preferences > Controller Manager

Maschine > Preferences > MIDI > input

Comments on the issue

If I change the BPM on my Maschine, the displayed BPM value increases (in this case 146 BPM), but the tempo remains the same. That means that the tempo will remain at 120 BPM in Maschine despite the BPM display being different (146 BPM).

Traktor will remain untouched and the BPM is still at 120 BPM.

In Traktor

If I change the BPM (from the X1 controller), the BPM of the deck changes (128.61 BPM) and the tempo will accelerate, getting out of tune with Maschine, as Maschine is still running at 120 BPM.

The Master Clock in Traktor remains at 120 BPM.

If I press Sync on my X1 controller, the BPM of the playing Deck switches back to 120 BPM, and get in sync with Maschine.

It seems that I am not able to change the Traktor Master Clock from Maschine.

As Maschine gets in sync with the Master Clock from Traktor, I am not able to change the Master Clock in Traktor from my Deck.

I am struggling to find a solution to this problem.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Yves
