Maschine | Using Maschine 3 in HiDPI mode in a DAW (Windows)

Maschine 3 supports HiDPI modes, both as a plug-in and as a host of plug-ins. However, not every DAW has the same default handling behavior, particularly on Windows. Hosted plug-ins may look broken if this behavior is not configured correctly.

If you’re using Maschine 3 as VST3 plug-in on Windows in any of the following DAWs, please ensure you follow these set-up steps:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

• Ableton Live 10-12
• FL Studio
• Cubase
• Pro Tools

Ableton Live 10-12

1. Start Live and open your plug-in list in Live's browser.
   
   
2. Right-click Maschine 3 and de-select "Auto-Scale Plug-in Window".
   
   
   
3. Save your set and restart Live.

Maschine 3 will now display as intended in all future Ableton Live sets. For reference: Ableton Live documentation link.

FL Studio

By default, FL Studio should be configured correctly to display Maschine 3. However, if you are experiencing issues displaying Maschine 3 or plug-ins hosted inside Maschine, please ensure the following setting is turned on:

1. Start FL Studio and load Maschine 3 as a plug-in.
   
   
2. Open the VST Wrapper settings for the Maschine 3 plug-in.
   
   
   
3. Under GUI, ensure that the option DPI aware is activated.
   
   
   
4. Save your project and re-start FL Studio.
   
   

Maschine 3 will now display as intended in all future FL Studio projects.

Cubase

• The default should work correctly.
• Please don’t override high DPI settings through the Windows application properties as this will cause scaling issues.

Pro Tools

• Use Pro Tools 2024.6 or earlier for full compatibility on Windows. 2024.10 introduced scaling issues that affect hosting plugins inside Maschine.
• The default should work correctly.
• Please don’t override high DPI settings through the Windows application properties as this will cause scaling issues.
