If when powering up the Maschine Plus, it's stuck on "Maschine + is starting"

Maschine plus displaying a "Maschine+ is starting" message on the right display

My colleagues in the development coded a little tool that could help to get Maschine+ starting correctly.

1) Please download the file "system-reset-v2.nut" from here:

system-reset-v2.nut

2) Get the original SD-card from Maschine+ and insert it into the SD-card slot of your computer

3) Copy and paste the file system-reset-v2.nut to the root level of the SD card (do not place it in any subfolders)

4) Eject the SD-card and insert it into Maschine+

5) Once you see the screen that says “You are about to update Maschine. Press update to proceed”, hit "UPDATE”.

6) wait for the success message and hit "REBOOT".

If the issue persists after that please contact our Maschine specialists here: https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/sections/360000091558

    So I should carry around an SD card with just this file on it until this is fixed more permanently in a future firmware update? I'll tape it to the underside of my Maschine+😅 Thank you!

    Do you mean this is happening to you on a regular basis ?

    Same issue has happened to my Maschine Plus once. My M+ was stuck on the boot up screen and would not respond to pressing the File Save power button. I unplugged the AC adapter to force a shutdown, disconnected the power connector from the M+, then reconnected the power cable and restarted. I have had no issues with my M+ since the restart.

    Same here. It happens every 3 or so days.

    it hasn't happened at all, but now I am paranoid and was just being a little cheeky lol; I was about to possibly be using it live and just wanted to keep a spare SD card with the file always on hand just in case.

    Only thing odd my Maschine+ does lately is when I power it up, all the buttons go white for 1-2 seconds before it lets me work. I don't remember that, and hopefully it isn't related...

    Is there a step missing from the instructions above? If I copy the .nut file into the root of the SD card put the the card into the Maschine+ and start it up, I don't see an update prompt?

    Found out on my own that I think you need to hold down the File button till the options come up then hit shift and select Recovery.

    Has anyone else found a solution to this? NI replaced my first M+ and the same thing is happening to the replacement. The solution above of holding the File button just forces a shutdown, it does not seem to force it into Recovery mode. I even ordered a brand new Maschine+ from Juno and that one had the same issue. I've tried so many different options and don't understand why I have 3 bricked devices, when at least one of them was working for an entire year. NI is trying to help me, but I'm just wondering if anyone has found another solution, or if it has been explained to you why this would be happening. Thanks!

    sorry to revive an old thread, didn't want to create a new one just for the new update, but the issue seems to be present in 1.4.5. it still has the same slow start issue, and the slow shut down is still present.. my SD card is good.

    Hi, in my same case was a warranty replacement of device. No one of tools or workarounds was help.

    I recently have been experiencing these symptoms with my Maschine, I've contacted NI and they sent this tool to me. This is the problem I have now, I don't have the original sd card, I misplaced it somewhere. Should this tool still work on a sd card formatted in Maschine? if so it isn't working as described.


    Also, I was wondering is there anyway to completely reinstall Maschine plus OS, for some reason I think that would solve the issue. I know its probably a long shot, but just curious.

    I try all…my Maschine was 2 years an 2 months….she is dead

    if she has less two years send to Native quickly

    Now mine, are in the garbage…good luck….

    Hi. I just bought a new Maschine+ and I am experiencing a similar issue to the above (stuck in an update loop on startup). This is a shocking experience of any product, let alone one at this price point.

    I tried the .nut solution with the SD card but the Maschine doesn’t recognise the .nut file type.

    all I want to do is connect and make music, this is so frustrating.

    Are there any fixes other than the .nut file one proposed above?

    @Iwestie1973 As mentioned in the post, in the last line, if that did not work you need to contact my colleagues through the typeform I linked.
