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. Recently, I decided to get back to it and realized that after completing all the upgrades on both my Maschine+ and my computer, the M+ in controller mode is recognized neither by Maschine 3 nor Maschine 2. I…

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…

Maschine+ warranty repair agreement no longer valid?
Hello Native Instruments team, I write here because support team couldn't help me with my faulty Maschine+. After buying it factory refurbished from your official reverb shop Native Instruments GmbH Direct Voerde (Niederrhein) last year (31.10.2025) I had to send it back because it came with a broken power connection.

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…

Maschine Plus footswitch latency
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…

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+
Does anyone have any tips or best practices for managing Projects and Groups within the Maschine+ standalone? Specifically, can you tag different groups/projects or save them in subfolders on the SD card? For projects, it's a pain to scroll through the full list of projects without any other information (e.g. create date,…

Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! (Maschine MK3 ghost knobs Fix)
I bought my Maschine MK3 when it first came out, and for years I couldn't solve the infamous "ghost knobs" issue... random parameter changes, settings moving on their own, and occasionally pads lighting up for no apparent reason. Online, and even here, a lot of people suggest checking your USB cables, power supply, or the…

"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. I wanted to be a musician, a performer and creative. This year Microsoft ended support for Windows 10. Making 3 of my 4 studio PCs redundant. "Throw them away" said Microsoft…

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. I usually save projects, with samples - and then load the SD card into my computer to make backups of my projects, however I was working on a project the past two days, and when I looked at…

Maschine Hardware: Design That Endures

Maschine Poly Synth - Pulse Oscilators leak high energy. ¿DC correction?
Just decided to give a chance to PolySynth, after years of using VSTs for this range. And I was very satisfied with the easyness of use and specially its clear page disposition of controlls.

Maschine Plus Error When Registering the Hardware
Q: Translation inserted by Moderator (translation by DeepL) Hi everyone, I just bought a used Maschine Plus. The seller sent me the ID to register it to my account.

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…

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…

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.
