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…

Luna records midi from Komplete Kontrol S61, but not Maschine MK3
I am using multi out in Maschine. Sending each pad to its unique channel through the Maschine mixer. I can play the notes through my S61 and the midi does record and playback (which is a pain as the pads on the Maschine MK3 are great). I can hear and see the audio coming through in Luna on each respective channel. Does…

Can't use S61 MK3 with Maschine 3.0 in my DAW (Ableton)
So just what the title says. I can use the Maschine software on my desktop with my S61 MK3, but not when I open up a Maschine 3.0 instance in my DAW (Ableton).

I bought Maschine Version 1 ten years ago. I want to continue using it on my new laptop

I have used the links provided by istvan.fodor@native-instruments.com to download the software, which seems ready for usage. What's next? Thanks!

What is Maschine 3.0 for?
I've been playing with Maschine 3.0 for a while now and I'm bothered by one thing. What is Maschine 3.0 for? Originally the purpose of the Maschine software was simple.

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?
