I have been using machine plus and kontrol keyboard for a couple weeks and was working fine. Now kontrol will not connect to machine. I'm using machine 2.17.5 on Mac. I have kontrol plugged into the computer like it's always been. Machine plus works fine but the keyboard will not play the sound on the pad of machine. Any help would be appreciated.

    you should probably show a screenshot of the sound slot you're trying to play. For example, this screenshot shows the midi input source for this sound slot is "default"

    ...and this page in preferences shows the default mode is "focus":

    How do you have it setup?

    Is it a MK1 keyboard or a MK2?

    Thanks for getting back. It's a mk3. I was using it with komplete kontrol and ableton lite 11. But when I went back to just machine and the keyboard it stopped working.

    Sorry, you've been "cucced" by NI's new tech stack. :(

    @Cuccbeats As you already probably know there's no integration with Maschine Plus and the MK3 keyboard so I assume you mean to plug it as a standard MIDI controller. How do you connect the keyboard to the M+? With what kind of cable? I'd like to try and reproduce the issue.

    @Cretin Dilettante I'm not sure if you took enough time to read the whole thread before posting. The subject here is not the Maschine integration, that I assume your joke is referring to, so your comment is not really helpful or even relevant here.

    Yes I was using it as a controller for machine plus. It worked fine then stopped. I never mentioned integration. I've never had to post anything for help so i'm new. I know I did not read your thread.

    @Cuccbeats Ok, what kind of cable are you connecting the keyboard to the M+ with? so I can try to reproduce and see what's up. USB B to C, MIDI 5 pin cable?

    I was using usb-c from host port on keyboard to the computer And setting it up as a controller in machine and it was working fine using maschine 2.17.5 software. I've also tried usb-b to c in maschine but that doesn't work.

    I'm a little confused with descriptions in this thread. The title says the keyboard won't connect to Maschine Plus (the standalone unit) but the first post says the keyboard is plugged into your computer and using Maschine software.

    Further down you talk again about using it with Maschine Plus, then the next post mentions connecting to the computer again.

    What exactly is the problem? Is it not working for standalone use, or with the computer?

    I know it sounds confusing but it's not. I'm using machine plus with machine software. I connected control mk3 to the computer as a controller. Was working fine. I went to ableton which i'm still working on figuring it out. I used it with complete control. Then went back to just machine to use the keyboard as a controller and it stopped working. Might have a faulty keyboard I don't know. I bought it a couple months ago. Haven't had a whole lot of time to work with it. I might have made a mistake by buying the MK3. But there's nothing I can do now.

    I apologize if this is not what you're talking about.I'm new to all the online "threads". And everything. Just trying to find somebody that can help me fix this problem. So I can get back to making beats. I'm old school. SP606, rhythm DR5, Roland Juno G. I bet none have any of those.

    Ok, so the issue is in the desktop Maschine software (desktop = Maschine software on Mac) . I don't think that Maschine Plus has anything to with the issue. When in the Maschine desktop software and you use M+ in Controller Mode, it's exactly just that: a controller. To make sure, simply disconnect the M+ and open the Maschine desktop software. If you load an instrument and play the notes on the keyboard, do you get sound?

    Open your preferences, MIDI, are the MIDI inputs for the Kontrol MK3 keyboard ticked?

    Ok, and in Komplete Kontrol in standalone, everything is working as expected? You can load sounds and play them with the keyboard?

    Do Maschine and Komplete Kontrol have full disk access? How to Enable Full Disk Access on macOS

    Also you didn't reply to this question, is it the same behaviour without the M+ connected?

    I'll check out the disc access. And no it still does not work without machine plugged in. I uninstalled komplete kontrol.I'm gonna reinstall it this evening and check that.
