in Maschine

Hi
I want to route audio from my daw (Ableton) to Maschine 3 vst. In Maschine it seems like you can have up to 16 inputs (L+R) but when I want to send audio from Ableton to Maschine 3 it only displays 7 tracks ? (see picture)

Is there a way to activate all 16 inputs ?

    No. No idea why, but Maschine has always been limited in terms of input.

    At least now with MAS-3 we have 7, MAS-2 only had 4 Inputs. 🤷‍♂️

    the one u miss should be from sidechain 1+2…+ 7x(L+R) = 16

    but that´s not true, somehow they use 1+2 twice.

    fwiw, this is how it's handled on Cubase:

    "Maschine In 1" has always been an issue. Input 1 was handled by adding the old Maschine FX directly as an insert. I've never figured out a way to access it with the normal plugin.

    I haven't tested this to confirm it works as expected. I've only gone as far as taking the screenshot.
