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.

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…

Maschine Muting.. Have I gone mad?
Mute should be an easy, obvious concept. I choose to mute something (a group, a sound, a pattern) I should stop hearing it. Instead Mute is not working in the way I imagine. I've created a pattern with 4 stems from a track. I want to play them and Mute or Solo them as necessary. However, when I use Mute, it doesn't mute…

Light and dark mode for Maschine 3
Hey, I really like the new design and functions that were added into Maschine 3 but I hope NI is going to add the possibility to switch between a light and a dark mode of the whole interface. Even if its only the grey tone of the old version. Just would love to have the choice of that.

Anyone tried M3 Dtem separation and the Demucs GUI stem separation please?
Hi all Anyone compared the Maschine stem separation to the free Demucs GUI?

Why does License transfer take so long?
Hi, everyone! Well quite recently I sold my Maschine MK2 and on the day it was sold I requested a license transfer… In the email it was mentioned, that the transfer would take a maximum of 48hours which for the time being wasn’t the case… So I’m wondering, does it always take this long to do a simple license transfer?

Strange issue with Maschine 3.0 software and Komplete S61 MK3 that I can see it the keyboard in in Midi preferences, but I can't select the box next to it.

Where is the up-to-date Maschine 3 PDF documentation?
Hello. Unless I'm missing something, it seems that the Maschine 3 software PDF documentation (Maschine_3_software_manual_English_6.11.24) that is linked under downloads for Machine 3 software does not include all new features, such as stem splitting. The images of the user interface do not show the "stems" icon to the left…

Maschine Central for M+
Hello everyone, I just wanted to say a quick thank you to NI that although Machine 3 is not yet ready for the M+, Machine Central is running on the M+. Stand-alone. I think that's great. It's an ideal addition to the repertoire of sounds that I've always missed on the M+. The nice thing is that they are not so…

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?
