Maschine as plugin in Live no sound downbeat

I'm still having issues with Maschine as a plugin in Live. If the fact that Maschine's sequencer still wants to apply sound to the downbeat of bar 2 on a 1 bar loop instead of putting it on the downbeat of bar 1 where it should be isn't annoying enough I have issues actually getting sound out of Maschine on the downbeat of bar 1. I rewind Live and hit play from the start and I get no sound triggered on for example my kick placed on the downbeat of bar 1. I figure it's a sync issue, the beginning of bar 1 in Live is actually .5 seconds (rough estimate) into bar 1 in the Maschine sequencer and thus my kick doesn't get triggered because the sound starts at 0 not .5 sec in.

Need a fix.

 

Im actually still having this issue as well i think maschine and live are not perfectly in sync with their bar locations. I hope some one can come up with a fix for this.


Sometimes on the down beat of the first bar my first hits dont play either.

 

I know this issue has been mentioned before. I'd like some kind of official reply as to where the issue is (Maschine or Ableton) and if it's Maschine related when it will be fixed. As far as I know the DAW most Maschine users use is Ableton Live and this sync issue seems like a pretty big bug. Both Maschine and Ableton should agree at what "0" is on the timeline. Hell, sometimes I can see the playhead in Maschine's sequencer not even rewind to first beat when I restart from in Live. It's a really obvious issue.

Too, that 50/50 chance that Maschine will record at beat 1 or at beat 5 (in a 4 beat, 1 bar loop) within Maschine's own sequencer needs to be fixed. I mean c'mon, there is no beat 5 in a 4 beat bar. Maschine should not be dropping notes outside the pattern/bar parameter. I've never seen a sequencer drop notes outside of a set parameter, at version 1.8 I consider it unacceptable.
