Maschine software without hardware?

bravedog

Hi, while this has been asked before I am finding no answers within a year and have been unreliably told NI options have changed and I need to make sure I get the correct current option. I have Komplete 26 Standard with its many Maschine expansions. If inexpensive, I'm interested in buying Maschine 3 software if NOT requiring hardware or previous version of software, in order to access the xpansions beyong extracting their wavs.

I started an NI ticket for this question a month ago and they said this is possible but link they sent was invalid, 504 page not found. I asked for a corrected link and they ignored, then messaged since I hadn't responded they'd close ticket; I again sent them my request for a corrected link and they sent this

www.native-instruments.com/en/pricing/maschine-3/

which SEEMS completely wrong as being apparently a software upgrade seemingly requiring Maschine 2 software I don't have, and bundling many apps I don't want or need like Maschine Central, Monark etc. A possible correct page could be

https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/maschine/maschine-accessories/maschine-3/

but when I'd asked if this is correct for my needs they ignored my question and sent the bundle link, which at least seems wrong. So, what's the story? Help appreciated. Thx

yes , for new owners , you have no choice in owning central , if you update from v2 then you do have a choice .

Yeah you just get duplicates for the other software, basically, that all free stuff that’s included , you can get most of that stuff from “komplete start “

for the full maschine software v3 ( without owning hardware or v2 software) it’s the maschine 3 + central package which currently cost £69.30 , on sale

Its the 3rd ( bottom ) option on the page

Thanks again! I now do see their page that suggested otherwise

When signed in, just forwards me to the bundle page!

when I’m logged in I also see the 3 different options, even tho I own it , what’s odd tho is when I’m logged out on that page it says , log in for special pricing - and mentions £48 , but I don’t see that price anywhere , when logged in ,( maybe because I own it )

bravedog

ha ha, when logged out it also tells me to log in for special pricing but pricing stays the same

I thought to try buying it for less than $50 but as they seem to now disallow this think I'll do without the bundle. Thanks for your info! Hard to get clarity….
