Common Native Instruments Maschine Plus Standalone Production and Performance Instrument Questions
How do I configure Maschine+ to send MIDI to external synthesizers or receive MIDI from a keyboard?
Navigate to Settings > MIDI and ensure the desired MIDI ports are enabled for input and output. Then, in a sound slot, set the 'MIDI' tab to the correct channel and device for output or input.
Where are my Maschine+ projects, kits, and patterns stored, and how can I back them up?
Projects, kits, and patterns are stored on the SD card; it's crucial to regularly back up the SD card contents to your computer. Alternatively, you can connect to a computer and use Native Access to migrate your projects/kits/patterns.
How do I quickly browse and load different kits while working on a track in Maschine+?
Press the 'BROWSE' button, then use the first knob to select 'Kits'. Turn the other knobs to navigate categories and preview kits, then press 'LOAD' to add the selected kit to your group.
My Maschine+ is freezing or crashing. What troubleshooting steps can I take?
First, try power cycling the unit; if the issue persists, ensure you're running the latest firmware and that your SD card is not corrupted. If problems continue, contact Native Instruments support with a detailed description of the issue.
How does the 'Ideas' view work on the Maschine+ and how can I use it to develop song arrangements?
The 'Ideas' view lets you create variations and arrangements of your patterns and scenes in sections; use the dedicated buttons to copy, paste, and arrange these sections to form song structures before committing to a linear arrangement.
