How to make Logitech G Pro X be an output

I tried with ASIO and both WASAPI modes I have, can't figure out how to make my headphones work with Maschine. They're USB wireless.

How do I play 2 patterns at once?

Might seem like a straight forward function, but I can't get Pattern 1 and Pattern 2 to play at the same time (under Scene 1).

Does anyone know how I can get that done?

Thanks in advance!

Can I use External Hardware Sequencers to control my Maschine MK3 pads?

Probably a weird question.

But if can I plug an external sequencer like a Digitakt (or any External Sequencer) into the Maschine MK3 and have it sequence the individual pads of the Maschine MK3?

And how would the different groups work? Would pad 1 of every group be triggered by MIDI channel 1?

Maschine Mikro - Can It Still Be Used

Hi. I bought the original Mikro when it first came out. Then I stopped doing music not long after. Never got to use it. Back doing music again. Can I still use it? Will it work ok on these new Macs? I basically just want to use it for its drum pads. Trigger some imported drum samples in Logic. I don't want to use the Maschine software.
Thanks.

Water damage on Maschine mk3

Hi guys, not sure if where you live they've been reporting on the floods here in València, Spain, but we're in the midst of a catastrophe with over 70 dead, houses and businesses flooded, cars thrashed, etc. Pretty grim.

Me and my loved ones are unharmed, thank God, and the only inconvenience (which is minimal when you know about what other people have been suffering) is that our rehearsal space got flooded and some of our equipment was damaged.

Now, I usually take home my Maschine mk3, but our band's last rehearsal was cut short because of one of our members' personal emergency so we had to leave in a rush and I forgot my Maschine in its Magma case, resting on the floor. When we've gone to pick things up and clean everything, my Maschine wasn't damaged as one of my friend's guitar pedals were (you would turn them over and water dripped out of them), but water had still permeated through the magma case and when I took it out of it it felt damp and had to dry it with paper towels.

Now my question would be: what should I do next? I don't want to plug it in and risk it becoming irreversebly damaged, in case it might still work (of course it might be messed up beyond repair, but just in case I had a chance to save it).

Thanks a lot for the help in advance!

Auto sample

Recently got a plus and absolutely love it. One of my favorite things is to auto sample kontakt instruments; it really makes the possibilities endless for getting sounds and instruments into the machine!

Anyone else glad we now have confirmation no Maschine MK4 is coming?

I love my Maschine MK3. I think it’s one of the coolest pieces of gear ever made, and I’m looking forward to the 3.0 software update. 👍🏻

Maschine 3.0 + New Z1??

I've been researching a simple live setup centred around Maschine Plus - the big challenge is finding a class compliant mixer to use the multiple outs from Maschine to "juggle" decks and fade between scenes.

This is a BIG "if" contingent on several other "ifs" but:

  1. If there are scene based tempo changes in Maschine 3.0

  2. New Z1 is class compliant

  3. Generally seamless integration between the two

It could be a really a killer live solution!

If Maschine 3.0 is a letdown will anyone jump ship ?

I have been a on team Machine since 2012 , and I am just a little frustrated with Native. I am using an older Mac and I can't update Native Access and am just thinking maybe if 3.0 is a let down I may just go back to Akai and get an MPC One. I don't want to I really want to stick with Maschine but maybe getting a Maschine + would be the way to go ? I don't want to be so handcuffed to a computer . Is anyone else thinking the same ?

one of my project just won't open anymore

Has someone encountered this issue in the past and would know how to fix it ?

One of my many projects i'm working on currently just stopped opening. The others work fine but this one just doesn't do anything. The "scanning" window appear then it closes without the maschine gui ever appearing. In task manager, the maschine process just stops and only scanapp remains at arround 20mb of memory used.

Kinda loosing my mind right now. Luckily this project was very barebone but i'm not sure if i'll be able to really recreate it from memory.

Any help is appreciated :)

Choke & Limit groups on Maschine +

I’m trying to set a simple choke group of two pads for open/closed hi hats in a drum group but when I go to pad mode and set the choke group, it assigns every pad in the group to the choke group. Am I missing a step in getting just the open and closed hi hats to assign to the choke group?

SD Card Access on Maschine+

I just asked ChatGPT a question that I almost can’t believe the answer to. Hoping someone can clarify for me.

If I have the Maschine Factory Library and expansions loaded on my SD card, do I have access to them when in controller mode? Seems absolutely absurd that I would need to have the files on both the SD card & my computer. ChatGPT spit out the response below.

“No, when Maschine+ is in controller mode, you cannot natively access files from the microSD card. In this mode, the Maschine+ functions as a controller for the software on your computer, and it primarily relies on the host software for file management. To access files on the microSD card, you need to use Maschine+ in standalone mode.”

Can anyone confirm?
