TRAKTOR 4.2 bring variable TEMPO with MIDI LINK (Maschine MK3) or...

Eric bee

please bring MIDI Sync MTC in !!!!!! traktor with Maschine MK3

why? because if I understand right MIDI-LINK seems Tempo FIXED and maybe cant be change when active.

as DJ I want use Traktor how I do with AUTO MASTER TEMPO, because I play different genres in difficult tempo and I want Traktor go on normal and Machine follow blind. Without turn on and off LINK set Master Tempo in Traktor turn on again LINK that then I can start next song. Thats now work on a DJ SET flawless

I have pointed this issue a year ago , please NATIVE INSTRUMENTS, listen to your clients more that you not loose all to SERATO, PIONEER and so on. I an over 15 years with you and shown you many bugs to improve Traktor.

also fix the BUG fullscreen on startup on MacBooks M1-M4 it still not works !

Thank you if you take this comment serious !

Midi Sync is working fine with Maschine MK3 and works in Auto Modus.

In addition, in Link mode there is the limitation that only Master Tempo works and not Auto mode.
I have not yet been able to get Link mode to work properly in conjunction with Maschine. Traktor and Maschine stubbornly stay at 120 BPM. Seems to be a bug. Other users in the Maschine forum report similar things.

Here is a small description how to use Midi Mode:

Mac OS:

1. In the Controller Manager in Traktor, create a generic virtual device, ports for Out: Traktor Pro 4 Virtual Output
   Under the External Sync menu: select EXT+Enable Midi Clock
   The Midi Clock is started and synchronized in the browser next to Snap/Quant. Select "Auto".
2. In Maschine, in the Midi settings, select Midi Input: Traktor Pro4 Virtual Output.
   This way Maschine follows the BPM from Traktor. You don't need an extra Midi cable for this.
3. In Maschine MK3 settings go to Midi and enable "receive "- so Maschine will follow Traktors Tempo

@viper9711

thank you for the idea,

1. I created a generic Midi Device and set output to Traktor Pro 4 Virtual output . in External Sync I set EXT and midi clock. AUTO Master is on
2. in Maschine i set to MIDI input "receive" and activate the Traktor Pro Virtual output.

Okay that gives the fixes the tempo get taken when I touch the Tempo slider.

Tried fix offset in traktor, no luck, after give an offset delay of 7ms delay in Maschine I get it in time. also very important the audio buffer ( I am now in 256)

Thank you very much for that fix ! I was near to give it up with Maschine

It's important that your Buffer Sizes in Traktor and Maschine are the same. To get the correct delay time enable Metronome on both devices and listen to your ears. :)

The delay is the only disadvantage compared to Ableton Link. Unfortunately, finding the correct setting always requires a certain amount of sensitivity.

I hope NI fixes/improves Ableton Sync for Auto mode. Then it would be perfect.

on 512 on both (traktor and Maschine) I didnt get it in sync.

big Thank you very much for give me, us the hidden fix

and YES, NI have to fix also the Ableton LINK, that the beats not fix on 120 and AUTO master Mode in Traktor still possible
