User templates for external MIDI instruments for Maschine and Maschine Plus
I'm looking at using my Maschine+ as part of my Live Rig. Mostly to perform Midi Out to External Instruments. I found the MIDIPresetsForExternalDevices.zip berried and was following this video: The problem is that the collection of presets does not have the following configurations for System 1, Arturia MicroFreak, Korg…
Probability and conditional triggers plugin for Maschine 2
I've created a VST/AU plugin called Chance Machine that allows me to set per-step probability and conditional trigger rules for patterns in Maschine. I thought I'd share this here as it might be useful to other Maschine users. It's only available for MacOS, though. It's a great way to add a bit of variation to patterns,…
Maschine+ Power Bank guide
Hi. Power bank info is scattered around a lot so consolidating all info in one thread might help new M+ users. I'll only cover the PD Option so this guide doesn't get huge, other options are in Post #2. This is not an official NI guide, just my findings and recommendations. If there are any mistakes or suggestions let me…

Maschine - how to optimize for performance?
Hello! I'm curious about how to best optimize Maschine running on my Mac Studio. I've read in a couple different places that it's best (overall) to install plugins on your built-in SSD and install+run sample libraries from an external SSD. Is this correct for Maschine, though? Currently I have all of my plugins, sample…

"Battery could not be loaded as it may not yet support Apple Silicon or VST2 to VST3 migration."
Anyone have any idea how to correct this? I thought that Battery 4 is compatible with Silicon? PS I see that there is a post for a Komplete Kontrol walk around to this issue. I am not seeing one for Battery 4. And I dont see an option for a drop down menu in Battery 4 either way.

Maschine 3 stems issue
I'm not sure if this is a bug or if i'm just not doing something right.

3.0 software terrible with plugin scaling and other issues
Many plugins that did not give me issues with 2.0 are having major issues. Kickstart 2 is a black screen, waves one plugins are unusable because it's zoomed in, superior drummer 3 constantly re scales randomly. Also it seems to be really bad with CPU. I'm getting a ton of cracks where I wouldn't on 2.0... some things are…

Hi everyone, my name is Giulio. Yesterday I bought a used Mikro MK3. I registered on the NI website, installed and opened Native Access for Mac, and entered the serial number of the Mikro MK3.

Maschine 3 Feature Suggestion

Maschine Software won't show up after Hardware registration
Hello, I bought Maschine MIKRO MK3 and registered the hardware in NA. The instructions says that the software serial should show up in NA after registration of the hardware and I've refreshed NA several times now. So far only Massive, Monark and Prism show up but the MASCHINE software not. How can I resolve this issue?
