Combining projects for a continuous set list

Does anyone have a tried and tested way to combine several projects into one single project so you can play everything in order live? The way I use maschine + is to run drums plus occasional samples, and I have external hardware synths that handle most of the other sounds so CPU isn't an issue running a million instances of massive and such. Would recording the midi from say.. a daw or something back into maschine + be the only way to do it? Or am I missing something? I realize I'm probably going to need to break out the laptop to do this.

    This should theoretically be possible, once we get the 3.0 update on the Maschine +. Right now, you'll have a bit of trouble unless your entire set is in one BPM and time sig. But yeah, it should be as simple as transferring midi clips/patterns/etc. over for your hardware synths, and your drum patterns. Whether you use full-song length clips, or patterns/phrases for each track is up to you. There are a multitude of ways that you could approach it!

    I'm pretty much counting on having to do this in the software and then transferring back over to maschine +. As for the tempo, I'm going to try something tomorrow with my polyend tracker + to see if I can get clock from that because the tracker has tempo changes. I just don't know if it'll affect any audio or sampler clips. This is my second tracker + as my first one died on me. Not exactly confidence inspiring but it is what it is. One of the things I got it for was sequencing program changes without needing to drag my laptop everywhere. The whole point of this rig was to not need a computer at all.

    Easiest way would be just getting another Maschine+ (second hand units can sometimes be found real cheap). You could just load the next project in while the other M+ plays. this way, there wouldn't be a need for megaprojects.

    You could use a MIDI merge box for merging the MIDI outputs of both Maschines

    "I use maschine plus and the Torso Electronic T1 sequencer as a master to manage a similar multi-project setup."

    I'm not going to buy another maschine + as it just wouldn't work with my setup. I'm doing both midi over USB and 5 pin. It just wouldn't work. Tracker + is also feeding data into maschine + and sending it downstream to other devices.

    I can't take pictures now but I was already explaining to someone how.

    After 3000Bar long project I stopped and reset it. I was playing my first 6 Tracks as whole made in M+ and I added 6 group FX and several groups that I was switching one after another. CPU is good and can breathe easily.

    If you have any Question please feel free to ask, I am here.
