Native Instruments has announced the release of a software update for its Maschine music production system.

Version 2.18 of Maschine introduces some long anticipated fixes and improvements.

For this release our main goal was to establish compatibility with the latest macOS operating system and also address the top ranking issues that have been reported here on the community and our Beta testing platform.

Change sin Maschine v2.18

  • Added: macOS Sonoma compatibility.
  • Improved: Maschine Plus logo now displays correctly when used in controller mode.
  • Improved: Graphics handling when using Maschine with high-resolution screens on Windows.
  • Fixed: Previously reported CPU spikes or degenerated CPU performance compared to the prior version.
  • Fixed: Issue where the Maschine plugin editor was larger than its content in Studio One.
  • Fixed: Issue where the window size setting of the Maschine VST3 plugin did not persist after closing the plugin window in some hosts.
  • Fixed: Issue where some FX presets were not saved as part of the DAW project when using the plugin.
  • Fixed: Issue where the end of an adjacent MIDI note was not editable when a subsequent note is present. Note that there is a known issue that the MIDI note endpoint editing may disappear again during a session after performing specific software interactions. This is currently being investigated.

The update is available from the Native Access app.

For users of Maschine+, projects created with 2.18 on desktop should remain compatible with the current version of Maschine running on Maschine+ (2.17.5). The official Maschine+ update is scheduled to follow in the next couple of weeks.
