Yes, there are a lot of midi templates for different HW on the M+ additionally you can make your own with the controller editor software from NI.

Is it that different?
I read elsewhere that you can load it up in standalone and u can drag and drop the project
Sorry for partial OT but how are the drum pads on Maschine Mikro?

The same as the rest of the lineup

but that’s the opposite of what i’m looking for - i want to control M+ parameters via MIDI 
sadly i’ve found a post on their forum where people request MIDI mapping as a feature, saying so far you can only do it via a workaround where you create a project on the desktop software and map parameters to midi there.
that, together with numerous reports of people being unable to get reaktor devices working on the M+ really puts me off buying one - i guess i’ll wait and see what future updates bring before i pull the trigger…
Ah, I read that wrong… must be the heat 
The M+ is a nice bit of gear, the build and sound quality are pretty good… I would use it more if it wouldn’t crash and reboot

Holy shit i just launched a second project. One drum kit + one instance of a random Massive patch. 1 drum pattern and whilst playing a 4 bar loop of massive i got max CPU. Thats bad
Did you develop that project or did you just start a project from an expansion?
IMO especially the projects from older expansions are not optimized for M+ but for Maschine SW and use 1000 effects, plugins and more.
Literally a blank project. Selling it off right away.
Sad that it seems to be the prevailing attitude with m+, although my feelings towards maschine were tainted by the long winded and somewhat obtuse attitude of the maschine Dev team, I really hoped m+ would usher in some kind of sea change and we’d see something more akin to the mpc development cycle… shame really, loads of people got caught out in the initial offering and stumped up twice as much as you did… that must really have hurt when they nearly halved the retail price less than a year later killing the resale market in one foul swoop…

strange! However I can understand you.
BTW: Current M+ SW is 1.4.0.3 and FW is 0.1.9.
I don’t understand why you’ve got these problems and me not.

Mmm its up to date for sure. I was really dissapointed tbh. Random Garage Kit and a simple lead. Couldn’t play in 2 chords without CPU clipping…
I remember people saying that the cards that came with the M+ and others were making the M act up.Worth replacing the card with a recommended one.
Did you update your device or make sure it has the latest OS? The updates did make CPU performance better.
Yeah, its the first step they tell you to do.
Checks via wifi & native acces.
The sd card you mean? I can check with another but I cannot imagine it making enough of a difference. It was a blank project with 1 kick snare bar.
Hmm tried another just now and now it’s fine, 3 groups playing and max 18% CPU. while the Reaktor patch from yesterday was far from heavy.

I know.sounds weird.But a couple of years back when i had one people on the NI site and around mentioned it enough times.Funnily enough the one it came with could cause some problems………
Dunno if it would effect the CPU load tho……strange it cant handle that project.
Yes i understand what you mean. It comes down to your prefered workflow 
Before having the M+ did you use the Maschine software alone or vst whitin a daw?
Just to make my opinion more clear, when i used the Maschine software or vst i always felt that the former was too incomplete to make a complete track, and using the vst would just add more complexity - it felt more simple to use N.I. plugins as vsts, or buy a Komplete Kontrol keyboard instead of using maschine inside a DAW.
Funily enough, as time goes by and you end up changing your way of having fun with your instruments, i went to the more crude way of using the Maschine - which is using the M+ standalone. I like it like this, specially the fact that i can make tracks that are totally playable and tweakable on a live set, and all inside a single box.
With Ableton or Bitwig, you can have more power and instruments, but i ended up always needing more periferals to add to a computer - controller, external disk, audio interface. Also its quite fun to change your way of making music, if you feel like embracing such challenge
