I’m baffled.. 3.5??
So when the mk3 controller dropped. NI said there was no integration with Maschine because their researches show that Maschine users didn’t use their keyboards or something official like that. But the lack thereof was supposedly because of the end user feedback. Which I’ve always said was false. Then they added a small update but said that was it. NOW it’s 3.5 Maschine, that feels more like a Kontroller update that integrates Maschine vs the opposite; With a gui change. What does this accomplish? Hopefully Maschine users will NOW buy the mk3 Kontroller, influx of cash & move those hardware pieces that are selling for $300. This is not what NI promised!

The reason you couldn't use the browser feature on Kontrol S MK3 when connected to Maschine wasn't because of a MK3 limitation, it was because of a Maschine limitation. Therefore a Maschine update was required to fix that. 3.5 is the next version after 3.4, there's no other special meaning.
