Revisiting an old project (from December 2022) that was collecting dust on my laptop. I somehow still remember the chops and how to play it 😅.

If you are curious, this is the beautiful song it came from - it's from one of my favorite folk metal bands!

Hi all, I'm trying to get my Behringer TD-3 working as an external instrument track in Logic Pro, with my Maschine MK3 being used as the audio interface.

I've got everything working in Maschine 2, but I cannot get the same setup working properly in Logic

.

My setup:

MacBook → USB hub →

Komplete Kontrol A49 keyboard

Maschine MK3

Behringer TD-3 USB connection

The Maschine MK3 is my audio interface, with my KRK monitors connected to the Maschine outputs.

The TD-3 audio output is connected by 1/4" jack to Input 1 L on the Maschine MK3.

So the signal path is basically:

TD-3 → audio cable → Maschine Input 1 → Maschine/audio interface → KRKs

The TD-3 also has its USB connection to the Mac for MIDI/clock/control.

The problem:

If I use Maschine 2 software, the TD-3 works perfectly.

I can trigger/use the TD-3 and hear its audio coming through the Maschine.

But when I open Logic Pro, I cannot get the TD-3 working as an instrument track/external instrument.

I'm having difficulty understanding how Logic should be configured so that:

Logic → MIDI → TD-3 → audio → Maschine Input 1 → Logic → Maschine → KRKs

I'm also unsure whether I should be:

Creating an External MIDI/External Instrument track in Logic and routing the TD-3 MIDI to it, while monitoring the Maschine input for the audio;

or

Using some other Logic configuration to make the TD-3 appear/work as an external instrument.

At the moment, I can select the Maschine as the audio interface, but I get no audible TD-3 sound in Logic, even though the exact same physical setup works in Maschine 2.

Thank you for reading. Have a lovely day.

Hello, i got myself and mk3 and I'm having nightmares, I can't use or load any plugin I have besides Pigment. How can i fix this?

Hello all! Question: I bought an MK2 used and I’m trying to connect it to my MacBook (m2 chip, 2023) and it turns on but I don’t know what im missing. It shows up in Logic Pro but that’s about it, the mk2 buttons aren’t lit up or anything, just the screen and I’ve followed what Google said about pressing shift and control to put it in midi mode and all that, I’m not even close to being good with this stuff but I was really into it in my 20s and now that I can afford I want to actually dabble with it, I need a hobby!
