Standalone with NI Maschine+

[ebbes]

Hello guys,

does anyone tries to setup a Push Standalone with the Maschine+?
I am not sure if its work with link. After a few tries i was able to trigger some sounds or instruments.
But i can’t start the M+. I have to start it manually.

Does anyone have experience with it?
Is the link function only working with a computer in this case or can the PUSH see the M+ ?

Maschine+ has Ableton Link integrated
settings -> MIDI -> enable Link

Thank you for your reply. I’ve tried it successfully but I can’t start any clip in Maschine.

This is the reason why I asked if link works only with a device like an iPad or computer.

I have to start it manually.

Maybe it just doesn't offer the sync start option (i don't have the M+)?

Thank you for your reply. I’ve tried it successfully but I can’t start any clip in Maschine.

I've confirmed:

- Push sends pos/start/stop/clock over MIDI and link.
- Maschine+ can receive note data from Push.
- Maschine+ will sync to Link or MIDI.
- Maschine+ does not support Link start/stop.

However, I can not get Maschine+ to act on pos/start/stop over MIDI.

There is no mention of external transport control in the M+ manual, and only anecdotal online evidence that it works.

A theoretical workaround would be to convert external midi transport to an analog relay and use a pedal input on the M+ to trigger start/stop.

Yes you’re right. I see it exactly the same way.
i'll write to support. i don't think there's a problem with the push controller

If the idea is to have both starting at the same time, why not start the Push from the Maschine, rather than starting the Maschine from the Push?

[ebbes]

I will try it now that way. Maybe Maschine must be the master in this case.

On second thoughts, I suppose if M+ doesn't have a new enough implementation of Link, it's not going to work in either direction.

Yes I saw this yesterday. Now i use a MIDI connection.
In my case the MIDI Clock works fine. It jumps a little bit but when i start drums on both devices they are synced. It is acceptable.
Maybe they work on a solution for this. But the MIDI connection is definitely useful.

Out of interest how are you routing the audio?

I’ve got a gen1 babyface on my M+ (drums and bass) outputing adat, and x4 analogue outputs from the push (melody, stabs, samples) that all go into a umc1820 and then I mix it all on an iPad in Drambo (planning to a get an interface with two adat inputs, so I can use an all digital path from the push)

I don’t have an adat interface at the moment.
The audio output from the M+ goes in the P3.
