Hey @gern, glad that this got you close. It’s been a couple years since I’ve used Maschine, moved on to just using my Maschine as a MIDI controller with the Maschine software. I would start with checking the keys assigned to each of the pads in the Maschine software. It sounds like the notes might not be correct.
For 2, how is the beat recorded? In Maschine or to the instrument track the MIDI out is writing to?
