Maschine+ compatible audio interfaces thread

I know, it's very frustrating - especially knowing that they have it (internally) but just haven't released it, after all this time. I don't hold out much hope to see it now that xmas is around the corner, because probably half the staff are on holiday…

…but hey, they say it's "coming soon" 🤣

Haven’t tested but almost certainly not possible, because Roland devices are not class-compliant, requiring a proprietary driver for USB MIDI and audio communication.

I have both and can check for you. I'll report back.

I would test it anyway. Even if I suspect too that Roland stuff won’t work, It could give surprising results.

Maschine, e.g., is not class compliant but its internal audio interface is.

Alright so it actually works pretty well. Some notes

Channels 1 & 2 are the master outs, don't send this back to the device or you'll get feedback.

3&4 are the mic/instrument channels and so on.

The zoom has to use a computer return channel so I used track six which is output 3 & 4. This channel was essentially the only one I routed to the outputs via the level knob, though I guess you could route others for parallel processing.

The reported latency was 8.1ms or .6ms faster than the internal interface.

I was powering the device with the Maschine+ USB port and had no issues. I was even powering the M+ off a power bank and was only drawing about 10w.

One of the best ones I've tested right up there with the Behringer UMC1820, no hiss, no distortion, no sync issues. I had one crash but that was while loading a project, which could have just been the M+ crashing.

Hope this helps guys.

The interface channels 1 & 2 are Master outs from the mixer. Interface channels 3-12 are the inputs on the mixer. In my case I ran inputs 3-10 as Maschine inputs 1-8 and sent the machine outputs to interface outs 3 & 4 which is 6(st) on the mixer.

Hope that clarifies it a bit.
