In other words can I see, select and use presets and controls of these VST plugins without using an external computer. Thank you in advance…

Unexpected ways to use your Maschine +?
Big fan of Maschine+ as a groovebox and i've been very productive with it this way, but i'm curious of uses people have seen in the wild, or a way they use it themselves that might deviate from use as a pure groovebox? This is one example, a DJ using 2 M+'s during a live set at a festival…

Delay compensation in Machines
But Native Instruments had promised to insert the delay compensation in Maschine 2 and 3 as soon as possible? It's been a year since the promise but I don't think there's any movement. Now with a new audio plugin it is essential to compensate for delay and all daw even the simplest ones have it. Force NI a little effort…

Lifehack for Maschine plus. Do you want M.2 NVME SSD inside? I really wanted it, and I got it!
I pulled out the wifi module, inserted the adapter and ssd 512 gb. I formatted it in exFAT beforehand and loaded Kontakt tools onto it.

Gross Incompetence with Maschine 3 Update (and S88 MKIII)
This is just a simply, short post to call attention to how absurd it is that a company the size of Native could release a basic OS update that we not only have to pay for on an already $1000+ piece of hardware, but that will literally brick your device if you proceed to update it as you cannot re-register a piece of…

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

Maschine+ compatible audio interfaces thread
