in Maschine

I got Maschine 3, installed it (along with the other free software) and tried to open it. All I am getting is a Preferences pop up window. Am I doing something wrong. From what I was told I don't need the hardware

    do you mean the settings/ preferences page , is it asking to set the audio interface

    These are the steps I take.

    1. Installed Maschine 3 SW (Windows 11)
    2. Installed any updates
    3. Clicked the open button
    4. The Preferences pop-up window opens up.
    5. I look around at the different features (General, Audio, Default, Library, Plug-ins, Hardware, Colors, Data). Thats it. I don't see a main screen or anything else

    Am I doing something wrong.

    Do you have more than one screen connected to your computer? Maybe Maschine is opening on another screen but the preferences are on the main screen…

    You're not supposed to just look around, but set the various preferences to your requirements then close the window.

    BTW your profile says you're using Windows 10

    close the preferences box , close will be at the bottom right

    Then you’ll be in ideas view , with scene 1 and group A , sound 1 should be highlighted, but nothing is loaded , so go to the browser, at the top of the page by the maschine label , my mouse pointer is under it in the image , in the middle is the browser button , click that and the browser opens to the left .

    The icons at the top under library are for project , groups (kits ) , sounds (sampled instruments) , instruments (vst), fx , samples and loops

    Select group , pick a kit , (if you look at the bottom of the browser , you will see + patterns, highlight that for now , load the kit and it should have some pre made patterns

    That’s a drum kit

    For a instrument add a new group with the + next to group A

    With sound 1 selection go to browser and select sounds or instruments and load a preset

    Unless you’re layering sounds , I’d advise to keep your instruments in separate groups on sound 1
