Hi,
I am new to both Maschine and Traktor. What I am trying to achieve is to send midi signal to Maschine from Traktor to get it synced with the bpm I am running in Traktor.

I used this instruction: https://support.native-instruments.com/ ... in-TRAKTOR (https://nativeinstruments.sjv.io/c/4241666/2395443/29910?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.native-instruments.com%2Fhc%2Fen-us%2Farticles%2F209590629-How-to-Send-a-MIDI-Clock-Sync-Signal-in-TRAKTOR)

I got this to work. But, is it really working as it suppose? The only way to get Mashine to start is to press the "Midi sync button" in Traktors global section. (the one over the text "SYNC" in the picture).

The problem is that I loose all control over Maschine. I cannot start, stop or interact with it in the Maschine MK3 kontrol (nor in the software).

Is this really how it suppose to behave? I guess I am doing it wrong and hope for a solution from someone...

Thanks in advance!

Forget midi sync. Use Ableton Link. Link will give you what you need and midi sync will give you instability and a migraine.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I just briefly read about Link on Abletons webpage. Is it possible to install Ableton link on its own or do I have to install Ableton also? (I am not using Ableton).

Edit:
Installed Ableton and linked Traktor and Maschine and Boom it works. Thanks for the tip @ghettosynth!

You don't need ableton installed or running. I would start traktor, turn on link, then start maschine and turn on link. It should work fine, even across multiple machines on a network.
