Getting started with maschine
I just got Maschine, it came with zero instructions,,, I have no idea how to set it up ,,, I have Komplete 15 installed on my computer,, in native access I was able to add the serial #,it came with a USB cord but no power cord,,, I guess usb is enough . I turned it on and it lit up ,,,says start maschine controller,editor,,, but I dont even know what that means,,, no other buttons work accept shift and channel to switch to midi mode,,,, as I connect it to my computer with USB, it shuts off my other audio interface,,, any directions on where to go to get set up and conected is much appreciated,,,

thanks', I was a little overwhelmed, with no instructions, or where to get them included, But I dug around and played with my connections and I did get some sound out of it. at least now I have a start,,,I am going to need a little time to see how it all will connect together, and how to use my kontact 15 ultimate with it, I need to find where to redeem my voucher also,

just out of curiosity, as I bought my maschine at lunch, and I had a power cable with it, did you buy it brand new?
if so when you register the serial number in Native Access you should get all the software included with it, including controller editor.

😀Yes I bought it new from NI . it only had a USB cable,,, But it does power it up,,, still trying to figure out if it needs the power supply,, I got it registered, and I think I got the software installed,,,I need some time to learn to navigate through the software on the Maschine and to figure out how to connect all my stuff together,,to start I went from Maschine to my audio interface with mide cable and and from 'line out' to 'instrument in' on the interface,,,,,how would I ask NI about the missing power supply?

"still trying to figure out if it needs the power supply"
It tells you in the manual (page 23). Also if there's no PSU in the box and it works without one, it should be fairly simple to deduce. 😁

I suggest to get one.
Using Maschine plugged with power supply has multiple advantages, from having leds and screens more visible to solving some small grounding issues with its audio interface
