I can only get to keyboard mode via the software. Is this correct. And from there I should be able to get to chord mode using the button… doesn't work.
Is this me or do I have a hardware problem. Brand new Mk3.

What is your exact OS version , your Native Access version ? and your Maschine version ?
Have you tried reinstalling the Maschine software ?

If using Sequoia/Tahoe then if prompted to do so then N.I. apps must be added to the Local Network (Ref.: How to grant audio apps access to your local network on macOS 15 Sequoia)
