Still Cannot connect Maschine+ to MacBook in Storage Mode
I have looked at all of the treads concerning this issue but cannot find a definitive solution. My Maschine+ is only sporadically visible to my MacBook in storage mode even if I restart both units with the USB lead connected. Sometimes my MacBook drops the USB connection and gives a warning about removing a drive without…

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:…

Maschine 3.7 ???
Maschine 3.7 — I’d really like this one to be about stability I’ve been using Maschine for many years, and despite all the ups and downs of the platform, I still genuinely love it. There is something about the Maschine workflow that I simply don’t get from a traditional DAW. That’s also why I think Maschine 3.7 could be a…

Smart Strum in Chords Mode
Hello community, I'm a Maschine+ standalone user and I'd like to propose an improvement that I think would greatly expand creativity for those of us who compose music without advanced music theory.

Two key features Maschine Plus needs to become the ultimate instrument.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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…

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?

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).

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…

Remove maschine 3.0 entirely from my M+, Library, and ACCOUNT

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…

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…

Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! (Maschine MK3 ghost knobs Fix)
