I've used my Maschine MK3 for a few years with no issues. I haven't used the software in a while and have been main;y using the device as an audio interface in the meantime.
Last week I decided to make some beats and although Maschine software loaded fine - the controller just displays the Native Instruments/Sound production system logos on the screens without booting up properly.
I updated my windows 10 OS, I updated the Maschine software and also the firmware for the device. I followed the troubleshooting guides available (all is ok) and tried a different cable and different USB ports - nothing helps. All NI related background services are running fine.
The odd thing is the same Machine mk3 device with the same cable works on my laptop with no issues - just my PC workstation, and it used to work fine on there. My S61 Komplete Keyboard also works fine on the PC with the same cable, in the same port with the same Maschine software.
I booted Controller Editor - can't connect to the device. In Maschine software, it doesn't see any hardware attached at all.
****** is going on it's driving me mental! BTW the Maschine mk3 device still works as an audio interface for my pc.
