Where to get Maschine 1 software

RoninAlpha73

Hi there,

I bought the Machine Mikro MK2 about 10 years ago with the Maschine Software.

My PC died and I wanted to download the Software on my new PC via Native Access...

It' is not shown there. I can just use the Demo version now. The NI support is not answering tickets. I don't want to buy it again. Left so much money to native with all the packs and can't use them now.

Hope to get help and thanks

Ronin

@RoninAlpha73 With your Maschine Mikro Mk2 came the Maschine 1 software. It was discontinued before Native Access was even born, it won't show up.

Here are the installers,

First you need to install Maschine 1.8.0

Then the Maschine 1.8.2 update

Then the Maschine Factory Library 1.8.0

Please note this was discontinued a long time ago so it might not be fully functional on current operating systems.

Maschine 2 is a paying update, it's 50% off at the moment: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/maschine/maschine-accessories/maschine-2.0-software-update/

If you need to import Maschine 1 projects to version 2 you will need to check this article: How to Import MASCHINE 1 Projects In MASCHINE 2

Is your Mikro MK2 registered in your NA account? Otherwise this could be why the software is showing as demo.

If it’s not the case, have a look also at this article:

The MK2 Mikro is registered in my account jes. it doesn't show the Maschine software.

There is one MK2 Black and one MK 2 HW shown to be registered. I just have 1

Maybe it could be caused, gbecause I was not using Maschine 2 Software?. now I downloaded it and did not upgraded it to Maschine 2.0

Is this version 2.0? I need version 2.0

Jeremy_NI

@nazsect Well, no, it's 1.8.0, since you have a license for the Maschine 2 software, it should be available to download and install in Native Access.

This zip is not working, win 10 can't open it.

Maschine Factory Library 1.8.0

I can confirm that problem as existing on Windows 11 also :

Try re-booting computer (To prevent file from being locked as in use by previous unzip attempt) and then try a third-party zip utility such as e.g. 7Zip or try using the free trial of WinRAR .

The problem appear to me to be that the zip also contains Mac file and directory stuff that seriously screw in Windows. Not sure if the third party utilities will work for you without errors. Also, even if they do then please notice that : When unzipping files like these that contains Mac type files and directories then you risk creating Mac files or directories that Windows will later be unable to delete from your drive due to short comings in the Windows OS (Risk and outcome depends on the exact content of the zip).

Ok, I downloaded 7z and it opened, but this is not installer so where i put these libraries?

Sorry , I never had a 'Maschine' of any kind.

Standard install paths for present generation libraries as far as I know generally is your chosen Content location

With respect to user content then by default, the MASCHINE 1 user content path is:
Mac: Documents > Native Instruments > Maschine
Win: C: > Users > Username > My Documents > Native Instruments > Maschine

I don't know if the installed Maschine 1.8.0 app will show a default content path in settings after installation ?

Thanks @Jeremy_NI for providing this information. I got things running!

I do get Machine as a demo though, half hour max & no saving of projects. Did I miss anything?

The popup when starting 1.8.2 gives me an activation option but that one results in an server communication errorcode 15. Any thoughts?

You need to run Native Access once and enable legacy products:
