Issues with Maschine+ Encoders and Vegas Mode Exit
Dear Native Instruments team,
My name is Roboomusic — I’m a music producer and content creator, and a proud Maschine+ user. I have the unit perfectly mounted into a custom wooden desk, always kept in pristine condition and treated with the utmost care.
I’m really happy with the Maschine+ overall, but I’ve recently encountered a hardware issue that’s seriously affecting my workflow: the 4th and 8th knobs (encoders) have started acting erratically. The parameters they control begin to fluctuate on their own, increasing or decreasing without any input. It’s extremely annoying and makes it hard to trust the machine during a session.
As you know, this isn’t a cheap piece of gear — I invested in Maschine+ because I believe in the product and in Native Instruments. I even made the most-viewed Spanish-language tutorial on Maschine+, which you can find here:
👉
I would really like to avoid publicly discussing issues of this magnitude if there's a solution available, whether it's a fix, a firmware update, or a repair process. I’m reaching out with full trust in your support.
One more thing — in my latest video, I left the Maschine+ in Vegas mode as a background visual, and I haven’t been able to exit the mode without abruptly powering the unit off. Is there a proper way to exit Vegas mode without force-shutting it down?
Looking forward to your guidance. I remain excited and confident in your products.
Best regards,
Roboomusic

Hello,
here is how to active Vegas mode, so i assume you have to repeat this process for deactivating it:
For repairing issues it is best to contact directly to NI Support, here:

Hi! As far as I know, or have tried, it doesn't work to deactivate it again. I can only do it by forcing a power off, which I don't think is good for the machine. I've also tried contacting NI using the link you provided, but without any success. When I click on contact, the page refreshes again and that's it. Honestly, I'm feeling very disappointed with NI. Thanks for your efforts anyway.

I think the general idea of Vegas Mode (and similar things on other products) is that it can be placed in this mode and left out on display in e.g. a shop or an exhibition, where it is locked into the mode and anyone trying to mess with it cannot do so.
Hence it cannot simply be turned off with a button press (or combo of). It's working as intended.

Nope, it doesn't just refresh but it also opens the chat, to contact NI.
If you can't see it, is because you are using some ad-blocker in your browser. Please deactivate it (not entirely, but for the support page only) and try again.
