    I am guessing that it is a Motu setting.
    To find out quickly, set the audio settings of the mac to the values you want, you also do this within Machine 2 software and Ableton. Even though 32 bits are still available, it is up to the Motu that works standard internally at 32 bits.

    thank you.

    will check that tonight.
    i was a little bit surprised that it's not an default option in the audio preferences in maschine software.

    If you can’t find settings, I looked on my setup and couldn’t
    This might help
    You can export at 16 bit , so you could export your sample and import it back in
    , i don’t know if that would work.
    If you click on files in the browser you can set a shortcut to the export folder by finding it and right click

    alright, so maschine doesn't allow you to set the bit depth of incoming audio. you can do that in ableton and mpc-software, and i'm pretty shure, in every other DAW as well.

    i think this should be a standart by any DAW with sampling capability.

    is there a way to request this to the dev team?

    You could use the onboard Mac card which you can set at different bit rate
    Or you could try making an aggregate device ,combine both your soundcard and on board card , and see if the on board card will bring down your soundcard to 16 bit

    i appreciate your help, but it should really be doable in maschine software. no way im gonna use the mac soundcard instead of my motu 828es. im sampling vinyl and synths, i don't need 32 bit files, i wan't to be able to have 16 bit or 24 bit files. it's odd to have that already decided for you.

    mid 2012 MBP
    i7 quadcore 2.6 GHz
    16 ram (was 8 when i bought it.)
    2 HDD (one 7200 rpm, plus Optic drive replaced with SSD.)

    it also has 2line inputs plus mic in (meaning 3 in 2 out soundcard, up to 96 KHz)
    like Maschine MK3 but as i read here in forum, a better one.

    NI and apple are on the same path. i dont buy them anymore.
    They have done best but for now RIP both.

    I know what your saying, I’m thinking about getting a Surface and running Bitwig with launchpad Pro as main controller. Latency is way better in Bitwig. I pretty much have my dream hardware at this point but Maschine in standalone gets in my way with stupid MIDI limitations that add to the latency frustration. In Bitwig Maschine is kind of clumsy though I am getting use to it so I may feel different in a month or so. With Bitwigs new sampler engine coming out Maschine better step up its game with solid integration of basic MIDI and controller stuff if they want my bizz. It will be hard to justify frustration in Maschine when every DAW features a more powerful, less issue ridden sampler and hardware controller (ableton+Push, Bitwig+Surface, Studio One + that new pad controller).

    Bitwig is in my radar because of linux support.
