Just bought a used Machine +, can only run standalone

Makisupa

Waiting for NI to add support for the current version of OS. In the meantime, I'm not sure what I can do exactly since I can't hook it up to the computer. Just transfer everything via card into logic or? Also should I be worried about some of the music packs disappearing once I get it hooked up?

Anything else I should be looking for? can't download the 2 free packs either because I can't transfer them to the Maschine can I?

Thanks in Advance for any help/advice. I did look into going back to an older version of MACOS, but that's not a great option at all.

If you've got a Plus then you don't need to hook it to a computer. The whole idea is that it's standalone. Content is installed over wifi. Did you not read the manual?

why can’t you hook it up to the computer ? What OS do you need support for

Maschine 3 software is not supported by/compatible with the Maschine+ standalone (yet). Therefore, using it entirely standalone is fine, but if you want to swap back and forth between standalone and software, you can't.

Now when Maschine 3 dropped in November last year, the release notes did say "coming soon", but from what Chris_NI said in his "update" post, that support is probably not going to be here until the summer.

it should work on the lastest os , it should in theory work as a controller for maschine 3 , and it should be able to be seen as a drive , for transfers

Maschine 3 isn’t available for the + , but your + projects should load in Maschine 3 , the only thing that isn’t possible , is opening Maschine 3 projects or groups on the + , (user sounds should work)

So if you did open a + project in Maschine 3 and saved it , it will longer open on the +
