Maschine MK1 back from the dead - but I need the software

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello! When Maschine first came out I bought it, used it, loved it, had kids, put it away, forgot about it. I've pulled it out of the loft, taken an old Mac laptop and knocked it down to El Capitan 10.11.6 - now I just need the software.

So - I've downloaded the old version of Native Access, added in my old serial number - but no Maschine download. Does anyone have any idea how I can add this?

The old Service Center server(s) was/where shut down at the end of May, 2020; over 4 years ago. It would do them no good to keep the servers running if they no longer support the environment.

I liked Service Center. Native Access went through some teething pains, and may still be learning to walk even now. But it's been working better and better as 2024 has progressed.

Yes, but the problem is to run the Maschine 1 I need a set up so old that Native Access doesn't work on it.

Right - so that will be why it thinks there's no internet access; because the servers for Service Center don't exist, there's nothing for it to connect to.

Shame really - it can't cost much to keep a bit of a server running to serve old customers, but I guess it's a way of pushing people to upgrade and buy the new stuff. I'm not motivated enough to do that - I just wanted to try and get what i had working.

There is a related thread with a link to old copies of maschine v1.0.

I haven't tried these. On the other hand, I can verify that the Maschine mk 1.0 hardware works with software v 2.0 (at least on Windows) if you want to go that route. It is my understanding it should also work on Mac. Of course the layout of the buttons has changed, so some things are less convenient, but it's workable.

Thanks - I've got the software, problem is that it needs the servers to be active in order to activate the software - and they're not. So I might have to try and patch the software myself.
