Guitar Rig Plugins for Guitar Rig users: Give the people what they paid for
With all the great improvements that came along the latest update of Maschine+ I also had to find out that the Guitar Rig Effects TAPE, KOLOR and PSYCHDELAY are only integrated for owners of the standalone Plugins and not for owners of Guitar Rig 7. I'm usually not the kind of person ranting in forums, but this - as it is…

DAW Latency When Recording
Looking for some help here - I want to use Maschine in a large Ableton project, but I am encountering latency when recording despite a powerful computer setup (M4 Macbook Pro, Motu 828, 64 sample buffer). When I play on the controller (M+) there is no latency if I check Ableton’s “Reduce Latency When Monitoring”, and arm…

Can Maschine+ be controlled by midi start and stop commands without receiving clock?
Can Maschine+ be controlled by midi start and stop commands without receiving clock? Many drum machines can be controlled by passing Midi start and stop commands, but I can't get this to work with Maschine+ in standalone. My assumption is that it requires clock, and must sync. I don't really want to sync, I want it to use…

Where does Maschine go after the inMusic acquisition? – A possible scenario
With the inMusic acquisition of Native Instruments, I’ve been thinking about the future of Maschine and would be interested to hear what the community thinks. I see at least two possible directions: 1️⃣ Maschine → MPC inMusic could gradually move Maschine users towards the MPC ecosystem, eventually reducing investment in…

On arming the sampler record remotely
Hi everyone, quick Maschine+ question: Is there any way to start/arm Sampler recording remotely without being on the Sampling page? I’m using a footswitch connected to the pedal input. When the Sampling page is open, it can control the sampler recording as expected. But outside of that page, the pedal goes back to…

Maschine + sampling skips
Good evening, I've recently just bought a Maschine plus again and I upgraded to 2.1.0.0 and have been having problems sampling. Now I remember this being a thing back when I bought one on launch but did not notice it on subsequent versions. It's quite hard to explain but I launch maschine plus and I look to sample…

How can I disable pads from sounding when pressed in Pad Mode?
I know I can press Select + Pad, but for live situations its too cumbersome. In Pad Mode I try to press the Pad as softly as possible, trying not to generate a noticeable sound, though it is still quite un-elegant. So, I was trying to figure out a way to have some Pads to not send any note when pressed. Actually I am…

How do you use Maschine+ Inputs when External Headphones are selected as the Audio Device?
I'm finally getting to really enjoy using my Maschine+ after so long, which is a long story, but I'm running into a bit of an issue. I tend to hangout on Discord a lot at night and have gotten into a habit of making music while hanging out with people online. It's no issue to have audio from Maschine 2 routed to my…

Maschine+ project does not show up on PC or Mac (Maschine 3 SW)
I have a problem with file transfer between Maschine+ and PC/Mac. First part of the problem is the fact that some older (Maschine3) projects that I saved on the Plus are different when I load them up in the software. I already arranged the project on the Plus and when I go to song view in the software there is nothing. The…

Kontakt 8 instruments and Guitar Rig amp sims for Maschine Plus info
Hi! Since the last update for Maschine Plus, Kontakt 8 is now supported (in standalone mode), what does that actually mean? Can I for example load any Kontakt 8 instrument that I own into Maschine Plus and use it in standalone (of course I mean only patches that use less than 4GB of memory RAM)? For example, I own all…

Maschine Plus footswitch latency (MAS-30657)
I have a weird issue with Maschine Plus where using a footswitch to start and stop recording in Sampling mode has a significant amount of latency (about 1.5 seconds). This doesn't happen when using the buttons on the device, or when using the footswitch to start and stop playback when not in Sampling mode. It used to work…

Sample warping in Maschine SW like Ableton Live
So, a couple of a years ago, I went into doing most of my work in Ableton Live. I've found the environment to be very freeing coming from Maschine. But, the workflow, no matter how well I set it up, is not like Maschine to me. Maschine is much more creator-intuitive. Great for getting started, as most of us know. So I'm…

Second Hand Registration failure

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:…

Remove maschine 3.0 entirely from my M+, Library, and ACCOUNT
I Use the Mplus as a center hub for my live performance and v3 has ruined the stability and performance. It is laggy, slower to start, slower to shutdown, but the MOST unacceptable is it has been UNSTABLE for me with lock ups and crashes. I HATE Maschine 3 on the Plus, SOOOOO much. I want it gone from my system & Account,…

Maschine + (nor Maschine Mikro) not recognized in controller mode with Maschine 3
Hi, I've been working with Maschine+ for 2 years. I hadn't used it since the release of the new Maschine 3 version.

Just one little Midi Recording tweak, please!
As Maschine is very nice and quick for tapping in notes it’s well known that it lacks a bunch of modern sequencing features like probability, polymeters and midi fx. An obvious workaround would be to use an external sequencer but there is one Maschine behavior that makes this solution annoyingly tricky to use. Whenever I…

MIDI from Maschine + into Logic Pro recording issue
I bought the Maschine + a year ago and had a few head-achy weeks grappling with how it works - I am a Logic Pro user of over 20 years and I was told by a sales rep the Maschine system would be easy for me - it wasn't - my conclusion was it was overly complicated and illogical - so I put it to one side. Recently I installed…

Difference in standard between AD and DA converters on Maschine Plus.
I transferred digitally, nine sine waves from a computer to Maschine Plus: 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000, 15000, 20000 Hz. I played these through the output and recorded them into Izotope RX 7 via an Antelope interface. The recorded sine waves were identical to the original sine waves. However recording the same sine…

Project and Group management on the M+

"I need options" (and not another Linux rant)

Maschine+ does not properly "save with samples"
I'm using the hardware M+ standalone. I have had issues since upgrading to Version 3, and now I cannot 'save with samples' properly.

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.

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…

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…

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.
