Maschine+ Hardware not compatible with Logic Pro 11 after 3.1.0 update

kbryarly

I am running Logic Pro 11 on an iMac (Intel i7, Ventura 13.7.4, 64g ram). I was trying to test the Ableton Link feature. Here are the steps:

1. Launch Maschine+ 3.1.0 (with a project loaded)
2. Turn on Ableton Link
3. Launch Logic Pro 11
4. Turn on Ableton Link

After enabling "AbletonLink" in Logic Pro 11, the software responds and the programs seem to be in sync. However, my Maschine+ controller goes dark and no longer controls the Maschine software running on the computer. In fact, I cannot get the controller to operate at all, not even able to enter 'controller' mode or any control at all. The only button that is lit is the power button.

Additionally, when launching Logic Pro after a Machine project is open and working, the Maschine+ goes dark immediately even without trying to use Ableton Link. I can, however, still start/stop/edit etc. the Maschine Project in the software on my computer - Logic just shuts down the controller when launched.

When opening Maschine3 as a plugin (in Logic) the controller stays dark and does not respond. Seems like this new update has shut down compatibility with Logic and the Maschine+ controller. This is a huge problem since I have many projects that include Maschine 3 as a plugin.

Ideas? Thx, Kelly
