Learn How to Use It
The Play Series and new effects have some important considerations that we have detailed in a "How to Use" guide to get you up to speed quickly.
Check out the "How to Use the Play Series & new effects on Maschine+" guide here.
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Important: High-Speed SD Card (Required) ⚠️⚠️⚠️
The Play Series instruments are built on Kontakt, which uses Direct-from-Disk (DFD) streaming. This means the audio is streamed directly from the SD card in real-time.
To optimise the loading time and avoid audio dropouts, glitches, or performance issues, a high-speed SD card is required. The SD card included with your Maschine+ will not be fast enough.
Recommended SD Card Specs: UHS-I, U3, Native I, Class 10, V30, A1. UHS-II or UHS-III cards will also work, but they will not provide any additional performance benefit.
We're incredibly excited to bring these new sounds to your standalone setup.
Happy beat-making, computer-free!
