Maschine studio in 2024?
Hi all. Does anyone have any experience with maschine studio? I wondered if it would be a good or bad idea to buy one used as I have maschine 2 software. Would it be compatable with the newer software? And how would the features stack up against the MK3?

Strumming (on the touchstrip) with Chords
I've been digging through Reddit and these forums to see if it's possible to use the touchstrip to strum ("Notes" mode) while using Chords, instead of having to use Keyboard mode and manually pressing each note. I know for a lot of people this would be a big game changer and make song writing a lot easier, especially now…
Are there Maschine Mk3 DAW integration scripts for Ableton Live 12?
I understood a while back that the new Live 12 would not be supported any more, but seemingly this has changed?

Or was it already and I…

Im currently pairing an x1 mk3 with maschine mk3. Both devices seem to sync until i want to make a tempo adjustment on maschine or traktor. They will stay at the tempo when the session started, the only way to switch is to restart Ableton link. Thank You.
Getting Maschine mk3 playhead to sync with my DAW
I'm having difficulty getting the playheads to match up with Maschine MK3 and Logic Pro X. If I set a loop in Logic Pro X (say bar 12-18) and record something in the Machine in playback, it will start on bar 15, entirely off. I can't figure out what I am missing here. Thanks, T
