Now I have been troubleshooting my m+ for a week now. Sometimes it worked , sometimes it crashed after 5 mins. Followed the whole maschine/komplete crash procedure and it came down to the USB port losing connection in windows error reporting. Even if I let it play and don’t move it or touch it, trrrrrrr crashed. Used my old studio with an external soundcard, no problem. Now I sent it to my retailer because it’s still under warranty, but it had other malfunctions like the scene button left and middle didn’t register. The original cable was very loose, had to use a more quality cable wich was more stable but still not perfect. Now yesterday I used my s49mk2 and noticed the same issue with that USB port! I maybe had a few crashes while using it, but that USB port is also loose like the m+. All my gear stays on my desk. Except for the m+ that I use standalone in the sofa but that’s just with the power brick no usb. Guess what? Also crashing, only thing you can do is rescan, and try another sd card. I did , and checked my sd card for corruption with soft and all was ok. Maybe there’s more to it than the USB port, but I was wondering how many of you have noticed the same with the loose USB ports on the latest ni gear. With my Maschine studio, the cable fits perfect and is snug in place. Also the latest version of maschine soft has been my least stable one, for example my s49mk2 pitch and mod wheel didn’t record the automation, shut down maschine, install the same driver again, and it works again. There are a lot of little quirks about it.
Thanks for everyone’s response. Positive criticism is appreciated.
