Auch… hope you get it sorted quickly!
Thanx!
By the way and out of curiosity, did you try the maschine project i sent you? where you experiencing the same crackles?
Not yet, I was jamming on the M+ in standalone… need to start the PC to transfer the project to the M+ will try after dinner… got to feed the family first, I will report back later!
Update: I opened your project, I get a max of 34% CPU on the M+ in standalone when playing back all groups… There seems to be some high pitched noise with reverb on the attack/transient part of each new note on group F but I think that is part of the sound and not an audio issue… no audio crackles/glitches
Enjoying it so far. Sounds really, really good. Akai is not in the competition in that regard with built in sounds. Very smart of them to throw in RAUM, as an excellent reverb can make a big impression. Can’t get over how great this thing sounds, honestly. Browsing is finicky, I’m not a huge fan so far, but I have to get used to it. I wish there was a search function, and maybe there is. I like akai’s browser better right now, but that’s probably familiarity.
Got my vouchers 30 seconds after I registered.
I didn’t dig deep into tutorials until I got it, I don’t deal with anticipation well lol. Now I’ll dig in.
I’m going to miss ableton export. I wish they could somehow make that happen.
I’m not seeing CPU becoming an issue right now.

Sweet.
All 8 I/O show up from my Scarlett audio interface hooked up on my USB Hub.

Try them first. I only have my Digitone and iPad plugged in and it’s showing 4 stereo inputs
Oh! For goodness sakes!
I’ve been trying to make a little indie folk rock on my M+. Everything was coming in quiet- so I just normalized all my recordings.
Guys…there’s an input level knob. I forgot…but just remembered. Laugh at me being obtuse- so that you can remember…there’s an input level knob on the Maschine+
You don’t have to eff around with your mixer- just up the input record knob

Haha, it’s the little things sometimes.
I haven’t gotten that far yet, just making some hiphop/trap beats with built in sounds and imported 808’s so I can learn my way around.
Experienced my first crash, which sucked because I had a really nice beat going. It’s my own fault, I made it… Didn’t save and left it running while I went in the other room to watch the first half of the Lakers Heat game.
Came back and it was gone.

Happened to me too. Haven’t made anything good with it yet. Just exploring the sounds and getting along with it.
I’m glad you finally got a working unit!

Hello i m french guy , i’m a old user of Mk1 , and after buy bitwig, i sended maschine, i changed all my set up with elektron box ,so 5 years after i come back to try the mK3+
( Whoooo , it’s a wonderful piece of gear now !!!) i’m not every time at home so i buy the new maschine+ just for fun when i m not playing guitar or keyboard … , i doesn’t install any expansion because it’s a joke for me( maybe for inspiration ) but it’s to much ,i just need to have a good way to sample my sound and arrange it and for now it’s great, synths are good but it’s bonus for me.
( Fm, Va ,Wavetable etc in a standalone box it’s very cool;)
Drumsynth it’s good solution to have a quick good way to do your sound .
But some little features missing
Class compliant audio
Line in volume to low ( maybe it’s ipad out) i’ll try with my Strat but i think i will need pre amp
Thc Yamaha work in audio interface it’s not stable for now but it’s a good way to record guitare.
Rename my sample ?!
Gestion sample not in standalone!? ( i have my traditionnel 20002627839000.wav etc… sweet remember of my mk1 period , so i connect my ipad to rename and erase copy of sample when you truncate or normalize it…) Maybe it’s possible i dont’know…
You can rename sound but not sample , you can use the old technique , rename sound before sampling but …
Usb it’s no very stable for me
For other thing it’s a really great toy , and i use the sequencer like p-locks elektron, it’s powerfull ,
but you can’t listen the specific step ,you need to restart sequence .
Yes it’s great tool, i think it’s the better groovebox now but it’s not daw , and i prefer bitwig or logic to traditional things but with new clip fonction ( a little bit complicate to understand) maybe now i can do all in the box and just the mastering on Mac .
I have now a good mpc 
( i tried mpc live , bbox etc ) but now i’m happy , it’s a pleasure to use it .
I hope midi implementation for sampler and other things will be implemente in futur

No NI Audio 10
This is beyond weird
Hmm – I’m trying to “P-lock” the tune of a sample, using the Tune parameter in a sampler, I think. However, dialing in, say, +7 is impossible, as you only get 6.91 or 7.06 or thereabouts, and the Shift fine tune doesn’t work.
Or am I missing something here?
Thanks
So had a few moments to test things out and was able to successfully get the following setup:
The FocusRite Scarlett is feeding all audio to the Maschine+
The M+ is sequencing the following:
. Toraiz AS-1
. DigiTone
. Arturia MicroFreak
. iPad running Aparillo in AUM
So this is going to be a good thing. Can’t wait to push it even further.

Does anyone else get crackling out of the maschine? It just started out of the headphone out plugged into mixer which is plugged into my speakers, then I attached the stereo outs to the mixer and it kept happening. Tried Switching cables and mixer slots and same thing. Then plugged into my Peak and no crackling. Then plugged back into M plus and no crackling for a minute, then turned it off. Ugh. Will try again later but it was prettty bad and non stop. Tried differnet internal instruments with no FX or anything. Frustrating.

Yeah a little bit around 50%
Probably a bug, will probably be fixed in an imminent update
Well. If it’s not fixed then it’s an unusable $1,400 brick.

They’ll be fixed. I’m sure of it.
These are just the issues that arise with being early adopters
Finally finished my first spin with the Maschine+. I think it does a lot right, even if there are some overall gaps. I’m looking forward to exploring it more, especially those lock states that are similar to Octatrack’s scenes!

Can you use Maschine+ to record everything through Scarlett? What would be your workflow if you wanted to record this as a finished track?
I gotta say that was a great video. Loved the track as well as the explanations. Those are all stock NI loops?
