Probability of fraud related to Maschine and software

Maschine Software Bug: Clips and Scenes doesn't retrigger while MIDI Clock receiving
Hello everyone, I am experiencing an issue with launching clips and scenes in the Maschine software when it receives MIDI clock.

Can’t record Maschine MIDI notes in Live 12
