Maschine Plus stuck during the live show

There was an error rendering this rich post.

This week i played live with M+, only wav audio stems and only internal audio effects, without any vsts, but anyway right in the middle M+ just freeze.

Before the live, during soundcheck i was showing M+ to friends its capabilities, and loading FM8 and massive on the second group, but obiviosly i deleted all that unwanted stuff before live.

During the inspect of crashlog, i found that FM8 was still in memory for somehow, that means after you delete the instrument, you RAM still occupied by unwanted stuff. This is how NI handle this cases.

Hope you guys dont repeat my mistakes :)

I know that the computer version only performs some clean up stuff when the app is closed, for the M+, this means a reboot. For this reason, and others, I try if possible to reboot before a show or just turn it off after soundcheck, then back on during line check a few minutes before a show.

I got this habit because my M+ tended to crash if left ON for a long time (say from soundcheck in the afternoon or morning till the show time at night), I think this bug was fixed, but I kept the habit.

There might be a good reason to leave things in memory, like having access to Undo (?), no ideia tbh.

in my opinion the problem here is freezing, and not a message about not enough ram, how Akai do it on their MPC, or just unload stuff from memory, that not loaded on any tracks.

Were you using the sampler module, or the audio module? I've heard that the audio module is pretty finicky & resource intensive. With the maschine+ it's probably best to run most of your track "live" (Plugins being sequenced, as opposed to purely stems.) alongside a handful of stems or samples. I'd autosample any plugin that's not compatible with M+, then transfer the pattern data over for a live performance, instead of printing to a .wav.

Airplane mode ON.. I think to make sure that everything needed for stability is done.
