So heya.
I wanted to ask from the folks that are in the know about how (much) the stability of Maschine+ has actually improved since its' release.
I just got mine a few days ago, and am already experiencing audio crackling both on headphones and stereos (even at 9-14% CPU load), and to top that off, cannot connect it to my laptop for use as a MK3 (all the lights turn white on Maschine startup and the whole thing just freezes there, for those wondering).
When getting the device, I naïvely expected to get the proverbial "bang" for the very concrete "buck", but after experiencing these issues and looking up user experiences across the board, apparently all I did by getting the plus instead of the MK3 was opting for the worst option.
So if an out-of-the-box Maschine+ performs this poorly, how on Earth was it not discontinued shortly after release if the issues were *worse* back then?
I'd sell the plus, but I could not in good conscience give a device like that to someone expecting functionality!
