Major bug on the channel strips of my Maschine Jam with the Ableton Live 12 template.

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I've tried everything, but nothing works. When I connect my Maschine MK2, I have no issues controlling track volumes in Ableton Live 12 or even accessing my plugins. However, when I try to do the same with the Maschine Jam, the channel strips simply don’t work—there’s no interaction with Ableton, and no LEDs light up. Even worse, if I launch "Controller Editor" with the Maschine Jam connected, it crashes every time.

According to Claude AI, there might be bugs in the Python code. My questions are:

Are other users experiencing the same issue?
Has a fix been released since its launch?
Would it be possible for Native Instruments to address this?
Where should I report this issue to get a fix?

I finally reinstalled everything... and now it works. I feel a bit ashamed for losing my patience before thoroughly testing everything.

Now, I have a new question: how do I delete a post?

what you will find when using the Jam….

is if you disconnect the maschine Jam or a application crash occurs, which is also utilising the "Maschine Jam - 1" input device name…

it will inevitably change from being a device which is recognised as

Maschine jam - 1 input

Maschine - 1

notice the suffix on the previous (they are recognised as different devices in DAW's)

this will not change back unless you reset your computer…

it is for this reason i change my controllers to Maschine - 2 or Maschine - 3 or Maschine - 4 inside the controller editor, so that when a application crash occurs… it remains the same

this only seems to occur when using the Maschine jam - 1 input

now you know why your maschine jam was not responding!
