    If you ask about if there is a simple way to write a computer program that interacts with the Maschine+ (or if such program exists already), then no, i don't think so, never heard of something like that…

    If you scour the net, you will find the person who created the M+ (No idea if he even still works at NI) had previously reverse engineered a big portion of Maschine before working for NI, I think it was open source too (Old man memory) his work will probably give you the closest you will get to an API.

    Absolutely not. It’s all very closed source.


    For controller mode there’s some reverse engineering stuff out there on GitHub, to acess screens, even play video on it, some details about the sw handshake, etc… but so far anyone who tried eventually gave up and moved on.

    @reffahcs has shared quite a few M+ HW details here:
