inMusic FLOW — A Vision for the Next Generation of Music Hardware
From my point of view and my experience working with Akai MPC and Maschine, I imagine the future not as two separate worlds, but as the evolution of both philosophies into a completely new type of instrument. I call this concept: inMusic FLOW A hybrid standalone performance system that combines the strongest ideas from…

Maschine as plug-in stuck in "focus" mode
I have Maschine as a plug-in in Logic. I have used the 16 channel version, and created 16 tracks, so I can route midi to each group in the plug-in individually. Each group is set to midi-mode = Drumkit, because each sound is a sample. I'm not using a synth per sound slot or anything like that (yet). Each sound in a group…

Maschine V3 software slow when used as a plug-in
I'm trying to use the Maschine software as a plug-in with Logic 12.2. I can playback in sync, and record the various group outputs of Mashine onto tracks in Logic. But when I open Maschine to edit something, it can get brutally slow. For example if I want to adjust velocities of drums in a group, I often can't. The scroll…

Maschine+/Mk3: Missing Option to Convert a Single Pattern to Clip – Feature Request
Converting a single Pattern to a Clip in standalone or controller mode is currently not possible. Right now, Maschine+ converts the entire Scene instead. On the other hand, the software can convert an individual Pattern. For workflow continuity, this should also be possible on the hardware. A potential solution would be to…

Maschine Plus stuck at start up screen after firmware update.
just upgraded to a Maschine+ so I could finally work in true standalone mode. After successfully updating the firmware to 1.6.1, my unit is now completely stuck in an infinite startup loop. This issue started on Friday, and despite submitting two support tickets, I’ve been left with zero solutions and now have to wait the…

How to fix heart problems caused by Maschine+ SD Card?
Like many of us, I imagine, yesterday I turned on the Maschine+ and found the firmware and Kontakt to update. I started with Kontact and then the firmware: everything seems to be working fine. The Maschine automatically reboots, and after about two of them, the fatal message that the SD card wasn't recognized, asking me if…

Anyone copy a project from hardware to software and had changes in the mix?
I've opened a large project built on the M+ using 3.4.2. It was originally started on version 2, but seemed to open in 3.4.2 fine. I copied this to my computer to open it in the Maschine Software. Some sounds are way too quiet. The mix settings are identical, but in some cases, the sound is just quieter, in other cases, it…

Maschine+ stuck on “MASCHINE+ is starting” after formatting original SD card
Hi everyone, I’m looking for help with a Maschine+ that is now permanently stuck on the “MASCHINE+ is starting” screen during boot. The unit was purchased in 2023 and has seen very little actual use. It also remained unused/stored for a long period (almost 2 years) before I recently tried powering it on again. The…

Maschine+ compatible audio interfaces thread
This thread should include what community members have personally tested - it does not mean that NI "officially" supports the USB product as "Maschine+ compatible"... it just means that WE got something working...or not. From what I've personally tested, the following are working with bi-directional, multi-channel audio:…

matrix maschine
What I call “Matrix Mode” in Maschine is basically a live arrangement workflow built around Groups and Lock States. The idea is to organize the project so that each main element has its own Group, for example drums in Group A, bass or melody in Group B, textures in C, vocals or FX in D and so on. Once the instrumental…

Maschine Plus clock pass through
Simple question really: if I've got maschine + set to midi clock slave, can it pass through the received clock to external synths attached via USB? It doesn't appear to. Sorry if this has been asked a million times before… I did search beforehand but didn't turn anything up.

Use audio inputs when Maschine is a plug-in
With the Maschine V3 software, I can route audio from my interface into Maschine, and process with effects etc. When I load Maschine as a plug-in within Logic, this doesn't seem to work. Same audio settings, and I can see it's using my RME interface because it shows 16 inputs (not the 4 on the Maschine Hardware). But no…

Machine + register transfer
Hello everyone. So, I recently got a Maschine Plus in an eBay auction. Upon receiving and trying to set it up, it's clear it's still registered in someone else's name, and I can't use it in standalone mode, which is why I bought it. I contacted the seller, and they said they purchased it from someone else, so they can't…

List of Maschine features no longer available in version 3
Before updating to Maschine software Version 3, I waited, and checked the forums looking for issues and problems. I saw some people had issues, but nothing that worried me. What I did not find was a post listing the various features available in V2 that are no longer available in V3. So I updated, and of course now wish I…

Maschine on ARM -- An Apology
I've always been intrigued by the idea of a DAW in a box, but for me, that a lways involved having a laptop and a Maschine control surface. In this way, I have Maschine Mikro MK3, 2 MK3, 1 Maschine Plus and Jam. But when I started traveling up and down the east coast to visit family and friends, I decided that I was a…

Updating Maschine+ standalone, to V3 OS, will change your input settings
Just as the title says. For those of you wondering what you might need to edit in a project created in V2 after updating to V3 of the software. I have projects where synths and other things are sent into the inputs, with gates, effects and other stuff set up on those inputs. After updating to V3, the inputs were changed as…

Unlock Perform FX for True Real-Time Expression in Chromatic Mode
I’d like to share some advanced workflow feedback based on how I use Maschine. In my current setup, I rely heavily on routing between Sounds and Groups to build expressive performance systems. I use this routing not only for Lock States, but also to extend expressive control into chromatic (keyboard) mode. By combining…

Maschine Plus stability for live work.
Hi all, I'm debating getting a maschine plus for live stuff, or at least less time on the pc. I've been using a mk3 for 4-5 years now. I've been looking at Web posts recently and the digitakt and mpc live come up as solid live boxes. I have a push 2 that I've tried recently, but its a new learning curve at the moment.…

If it replaces it, at the current time I have no reason to upgrade until I see…

Small Studio Hack with Maschine MK3
I would like to suggest two very interesting uses for anyone who has a Maschine MK3 or Plus. (For many of you this might be obvious, but it could be useful for someone else.) Recently my setup has become hybrid and is slowly but steadily expanding toward the hardware world, mainly triggered by the vibe of the Maschine MK3…

Does it make sense buying M+ in Feb 2026?

"I need options" (and not another Linux rant)
So I'm sure people are going to say its emotional or projectionism, and maybe mostly rubbish; I'm tired of having to be a technician/engineer/admin.

M+ Combine Scenes in scene mode (not arrangement)

With Live 12.4 beta Ableton announced updated Link protocol to share audio streams between devices or software on the same local network (e.g. WiFi): Getting Started with Link Audio with the L12.4 Public Beta Seeing how M+ has (original) Link support, I wonder how likely it is to offer it for Link Audio as well?

Upgrading M+ OS to Maschine 3 - was it worth it?
I'm still sitting on the fence regarding upgrade M+ from Maschine 2 to Maschine 3.

From reading the forum i've got an impression that the new OS is slightly more CPU-heavy. Is this really true? What…

Playhead immobile for copy/paste if Midi clock present
When I have the Maschine+ connected to my computer via the Midi In, I get into a situation where I cannot use the shift+D knob to move the playhead around for copying and pasting.

Group vs. Pattern
Hello, another two related questions about M+: (1) I read somewhere that M+ is limited to 8 Groups - is that correct? Is there only 1 bank of Groups? (2) If I have a drum kit loaded in e.g. Group A, do Patterns concern all sounds within that Group, or each sound separately? For instance can I have 1-bar Pattern for kick,…
