Maschine 3 MIDI Slave to Traktor Pro 4

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I am using Maschine 3 as a drum machine to add accompaniment to DJing. But when sending the MIDI clock signal from Traktor to Maschine via a MIDI cable, I find that every few bars, a drum beat is not played by Maschine.

I would rather use LINK, but it seems that as a Windows user I have so many sync issues it is impossible to sync Maschine to Traktor. I originally tried to run both Traktor and Maschine on the same system, but moved to separate PCs to attempt to counter-act this issue.

Maschine runs on a desktop, Windows 11 Pro (24H2), Intel Core i9-10900K, 64GB ram, Maschine version 3.1.1

Traktor runs on a Dell Precision 3550 laptop, Windows 11 Pro (24H2), Intel Core i7-8750H, 32 GB ram, Traktor version 4.1.1 23

I second that. Ableton Link is just unsteady on any winPC that I try. (10 and 11)

I'm not saying you should do the same but I switched to mac because of this issue and also because of the fact that windows cannot natively assign one controller port across multiple apps.

Thanks, but switching operating system when NI say Windows is supported is not the answer here. NI need to fix Link if it does not work.
