Maschine 3 MIDI Slave to Traktor Pro 4

Orbiter

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
