Anyone else super hyped to see what features from Maschine 3 make it over to the Maschine Plus?
What are you „super hyped“ about?
more than 8 audio inputs when using external interfaces.
So, this is the list from the release notes, minus those which are not applicable to the M+ in standalone:
ADDED Ability to separate Sampler audio into Vocals/Bass/Drums/Other stemsADDED Ability to bounce in place, rendering MIDI Sound Slots to Audio to save CPU, or for resamplingADDED Ability to import/load MP3, MP4, FLAC, OGGADDED Ability to set custom tempos per sceneADDED Ability to Split/Join/Erase/Mute/Draw/Hear/Point/Pencil and use a Computer MIDI keyboard using new MIDI editing toolsADDED Audio Preview of MIDI note editingADDED Basic Kontrol S MK3 integration for Transport, Play Assist, and NKS plug-in hosting and control when used with Maschine 3 standalone applicationADDED Ability to properly Reset Playhead to ZeroADDED Ability for Maschine 3 VST3 to automatically replace Maschine 2 in DAWs that support thisADDED Support for HiDPI plug-in hosting (varies per DAW)ADDED Update KPI plugin view below the MixerADDED Support for the latest version of Ableton Link, including Start/Stop messagesADDED Expanded I/O (up to 16 stereo, 32 mono channels)ADDED New darker user interface for visual comfort during longer creative sessionsFIXED A large number of miscellaneous bugs

Yepp, that expanded IO has me excited. I have 32 inputs and outputs on my interface and use 26 of em. :-p
It seems a lot of users would already be very happy if 8 channels actually worked with their (off brand) audio interface.
On that background, I wonder how NI wants to offer 32 on the M+.
Winter is coming ;D Update will come someday too.
I wonder which interfaces they’re having issues with. I haven’t had any issues with any class compliant interfaces I’ve connected to it thus far.
Same here. Increased I/O for external audio interfaces is what I’m most looking forward to
There were several threads about which „class compliant“ audio interfaces actually work, this is probably the longest:
interesting. So far I’ve used the plus with
Motu 16A
Presonus Studio 192
Tascam Model 24
Traktor Audio 10
Pioneer DJM-A9
without any issues.
interesting to hear the motu 16a works.
The 8A works for about 5 minutes and then the audio drops out (at least that's my experience). I've had it since release. On the older M+ firmware; it would work fine for a few minutes and then slowly degrade the audio. It sounded like a bitcrush effect was on the master. Now it drops completely AND any midi being sent to the output seems to be a little slower than the actual tempo. I don't remember the exact numbers; but I'm sure I added it to the audio interfaces thread. It's incredibly weird. In all cases, turning the knob in settings fixes it for a couple of minutes
The annoying thing: Sometimes it corrects itself. So if you just leave a project playing for an hour; you might come back and it seems fine. In reality, it might have dropped all audio for 40 minutes while you were away.
I can confirm M+ can use both my RME UCX and Zoom H8. It sees all of the I/O as expected, plays, records, etc. I can't confirm either works properly because I've never tried to put them through the paces for a few hours.
