I think the behaviour of linked pads is wrong, but possibly this is fixed in an update?

I thought I could set Maschine pads to be linked in the following way:
A also triggers C, and B also triggers C.
Set A and B to send on 1, only C to receive on 1.

But hitting A also triggers pad B, and vice versa, which makes no sense, since both A and B are set to send, neither to receive. Each of them do also trigger C.

Yeah, it makes no sense for a Pad specifically set to Send to be Receiving from another Pad also set as Send.

Happens in both Maschine V3 and V2. Maybe they never accounted for more than one Pad to be a Send within the same Link Group? Odd… Someone should report this.

As a workaround/alternative to Link Groups you can simply use Sound MIDI Out from Pad-1 and Pad-2 to send MIDI to Pad-3. It allows the same thing, both Pads A and B dont trigger each other but do trigger C.

…or well, you duplicate C . Thus you have a C' that gets triggered only by B.

Im confused, a 2nd C would make no difference in the fact that A triggers B and vice versa when they are both set as Send… That's the actual issue.

I think what he means is duplicate the sound from C, and set that to group 2
A on 1 triggers C receiving on 1.
B on 2 triggers D receiving on 2.

This can be done, but the original behaviour is broken and should be fixed to allow for more logical set ups and using less pads.

Yup ! that's exactly what I meant.

But a good send/receive system would undoubltly allow finer routings
