I have been using Maschine as a plug-in in Logic for many years.
For the past several months, however, an issue has developed when using either the sampler or when loading any Native Instruments sampled instrument into Maschine, particularly Kontakt instruments.
If I am recording, or playing back recorded Midi, the sound either drops out before individual notes are played completely, becomes garbled or both. If, however, I bounce the recorded Midi to audio, the resulting audio track plays fine. This problem does not happen when either using a Native Instruments synth or any third-party instrument loaded into Maschine. And, it does not happen with the Maschine software opened in standalone. There is undoubtedly something going on with the audio when using the sampler or sampled NI instruments when Logic is active either while recording or while listening.
