There was an error rendering this rich post.

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce that we just released Maschine 2.18 introducing some long anticipated fixes and improvements. For this release our main goal was to establish compatibility with the latest macOS operating system and also address the top ranking issues that have been reported here on the community and our Beta testing platform.

Maschine 2.18 introduces the following changes and improvements:

ADDED macOS Sonoma compatibility
IMPROVED Maschine Plus logo now displays correctly when used in controller mode
IMPROVED graphics handling when using Maschine with high-resolution screens on Windows
FIXED previously reported CPU spikes or degenerated CPU performance compared to the prior version
FIXED an issue where the Maschine plugin editor was larger than its content in Studio One
FIXED an issue where the window size setting of the Maschine VST3 plugin did not persist after closing the plugin window in some hosts
FIXED an issue where some FX presets were not saved as part of the DAW project when using the plugin
FIXED an issue where the end of an adjacent MIDI note was not editable when a subsequent note is present*

* There is a known issue that the MIDI note endpoint editing may disappear again during a session after performing specific software interactions. We are currently investigating this issue.

If you are using Maschine+, projects created with 2.18 on desktop should remain compatible with the current version of Maschine running on Maschine+ (2.17.5).

The official Maschine+ update will likely follow in the next couple of weeks. We do not have a set release date yet, but will announce here when we can give a clearer timeline.

We hope that this update will resolve some of the previously known issues you have been reporting.

If you have suggestions on how to improve Maschine in the future, please make sure to check out and participate in our “Ideas” section.

All the best!

Kai

@Kai_NI or @Kaiwan_NI can you please post a link to download and install previous version of maschine? I updated to 2.18 and wish to go back to the previous version. Thanks and much love. Hope the fix comes out sooner than later.

The drag and drop issue in its various manifestations is all one bug and it only crept in with the last release so should be all fixed in one go

The other issues not so sure

Not the only one I am afraid

Have plenty of VST3 issue disappearing not showing up and way too much to find this useful,

Where can we downgrade ?

Another request for the Maschine 2.17 Installer.

I just found out that with Maschine 2.18.0, Cubase does not load the Maschine Project embedded with the plugin if it was created with Maschine 2.15.2 or older. The embedded Maschine Project loads fine when using the Maschine 2.16.1 VST3 plugin.

Project is loaded with the Maschine 2.18.0 VST3 plugin, if the Cubase project was saved running the Maschine 2.16 VST3 plugin.

Hello, @Kaiwan_NI
I have not tried any earlier Maschine 2.x releases for three years as I use Maschine Micro mk3 in MIDI mode 99.9% of the time and connect it directly via type-c -> type-b cable (aka type-c to printer).

Is anyone else unable to move/drag/copy scenes in song view?

I am not yourself i don't know

Bring back JAM Effect Strips Please!

Is there a way to have a consistent zoom level? I zoom out to see the whole play range/pattern length and it changes back to a default whenever I change scene/patterns.

I have recently bought a Maschine 1 that came with an installation disk..the person that sold it to me never used it and thus could not give me a licence for the software. He didn't tell me that Maschine needed a licence and I only found out about it after he already sold it to me. He told me he never used ut and that it was given to him..is there anyway that I could rectify the situation and get a licence from somewhere or should i just abandon the idea of trying to get some use out of it..and just ell it or give it to an op shop..?

Call me unreasonable, but I would have preferred to have got the email about this when it opened, rather than just when it is about to close.

What can I say…the decision to do whatever scan all the NI products do now on opening is causing some of us very serious issues and amazingly no one seems concerned about it.

Can we please have these programmes contain the option to turn off this scan in all products as a preference so loading times become usable?

Is there likely to be any consideration into giving the option for legacy duplication behaviour as Maschine is massively slow to use now for some of us as well as taking a downturn with readability?

Does Maschine+ allow for running in oversampled mode in all instruments? Can Maschine+ adapt to DAW sample rate in any way? If not, is there an easy strategy to at least render to audio in the DAW with plug-in counterparts when running the whole project oversampled?
Remember multiple NI instruments make use of oversampling, at least in Reaktor. I don't want to give this up when using Maschine+.

Is it allowed or even possible to replace the CPU in the Maschine+ with something more powerful? At least one owner tells me it might stutter when pressed hard. These are all important questions for me getting one.

@Gabriel Kemeny Contact support - if you have the hardware they will usually arrange to let you have a licence. Take a look at this page - https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001301669-My-Serial-Is-Already-Registered-to-Another-User-Account and you'll see a link at the bottom for "Second Hand Products"
