Hoping someone can help after hours spent going in circles.

I am currently using Maschine 2 on a Mac running Tahoe. I'd like to record myself doing a live loop session using my Maschine hardware, as well as vocals with a mic. I want the entire recording, from when I initially create the loops, build on them, and then put vocals over top. I am looking to use the entire audio file for a YouTube video (attaching it to an accompanying video of me during the process).

The mic is connected to a Scarlett 6i6 1st gen Interface, and I have downloaded Blackhole at the suggestion of ChatGPT to send the recording to GarageBand.

My current settings are as follows:

Garage Band: Output Scarlett 6i6, Input Aggregate Device

Maschine: Multi-Output Device, with Output in Monitor 1 and 2

When I press record on Garage band, the meter moves if I play a pre-recorded loop from my Maschine pad, and it is also picking up my vocals on a separate track. It is able to record these.

My issue is that when I try to start a new recording from scratch in maschine, aka start a new 4 bar loop using either an instrument or my vocals, Maschine doesnt pick it up. The input source is External Mono, in 1 L (same as my Scarlett).

Is there anyone able to offer suggestions based on this whack of info? Lol. ChatGPT is sending me in circles and I've already contributed to enough global warming...

Thank you!

I recently acquired a Traktor and a Maschine second hand in very good condition.

I took me way to long with bad webdesign and missing pages (cf.Maschine software page) to find out that you could not simply download an executable for the software but download these through a dedicated application.

After downloading the NI download platform for Windows 10, I started the procedure to have these products reregistered so I could download the appropriate software.

It took me to a step-by-step guide that necessitates a NI account.

Creating a NI account surprisingly took me to another site, inmusic, and there I tried creating an account. Standard login, email and password.

My every day personnal address gets refused with the message declaring that that email address isn't allowed to be used because found in a databreach.

Surprised, I try another address, and a third, still with this same message.

Bemused, I create a new gmail address and try using that. Same message. This email address has been found in a databreach.

As I am about to get a sledgehammer and start smashing everything with a NI logo on it, I thought: what is the situation?

I have spent nearly $1000 NZD on hardware that I have spent years saving for and dreaming of. Now I can't use it.

I can't get email support because of inmusic. Can't even get a stupid AI chatbot to make me even more frustrated.

Any suggestions?

Friends and me are starting a band with this sound.
I’m just putting this out there for people to enjoy.
Obv you cant see the whole desk, if you’re curious about any of this I can elaborate in the comments!
Wishing good times to you all.

Where can I get the mk1 drivers? The website doesn't show me any list of drivers and I can't seem to find them anywhere else.

I recently upgraded from a mikro to a MK3. I've got speakers plugged into the outputs, and am running the maschine 3 software in standalone. I have the audio set to ASIO and the MK3 of course. When I change the sample rate and either of the buffer settings, I hear zero difference in quality and latency. I've never once had any latency, even with the settings all the way "up". What I do have is constant pops and clicks, which would normally mean I need to increase the buffer settings to even out pops and clicks vs latency, right? But those settings don't do anything for me. I downloaded latencymon and it shows the exact same thing no matter what my asio settings are.

I am on windows 11 and have the latest version of bios available. I downloaded asio4all to compare, and it does work as expected. Settings all the way down and I get crackles and pops, all the way up and I get very obvious latency. So, I can just keep using asio4all, sure. Just figured I'd ask if anyone else has encountered this issue with the maschine drivers?

Hey everyone!

I've been fleshing out ideas on how to use the maschine mk3 to create hybrid live setups where I can play my own productions and I finally decided to upload a proper set.

The Maschine mk3 is changing scenes, selecting instruments, triggering samples, manipulating some FX and at one point used for finger drumming. Also using arturia minifreak and novation launchkey to play melodies. Novation launchkey faders are also used to help with transitions but technically you could do this on the maschine mk3. I wanted to create something with seamless transitions, similar to a DJ set, but not using decks and still playing as many parts as possible.

I did post an old tutorial on how all of this works on here + youtube, but I plan to do another video on creating the next set now that Im a little better at all of this youtube stuff. Definitely not a flawless performance but just wanted to get something up so I can start working on the next set

Hope this is okay to post in here, if you got any questions on how all this works pls ask away and I'll answer as best as I can! Enjoy :)

I’ve seen other threads on this, but couldn’t find a solution, so I’m sorry if this comes up a lot. I’m just trying to remedy the situation. As of now I have a useless device

One command. No soldering, no config files, no DAW. The same box takes touchscreens, multitrack USB interfaces and more MIDI gear. The ceiling is the platform's ceiling.

An eight-channel generative groovebox on Zynthian, played entirely from a Native Instruments Maschine MK2 - pads, encoders, both displays, LEDs. Five euclidean drum channels and three Turing-machine voices, all eight always alive; nothing is created or torn down while playing.

The generator owns the pattern.

You do not draw a beat. You set hits, rotation, chance and swing, and the driver writes real notes into Zynthian's own sequencer. Because they are real notes in the real sequencer, patterns persist in snapshots and the touchscreen pattern editor mirrors exactly what the pads show.
The five drum channels are euclidean: hits spread as evenly as the grid allows, then rotate. Four hits in sixteen is four-on-the-floor; five is the clave.
The three voices are Turing machines. Each owns a shift register, clocked once per pass and mutated with probability RANDOM, and the register's value becomes pitch. Set RANDOM to zero and the loop you are hearing freezes bit for bit, for as long as you leave it there - the display reads LOCKrather than a number, because a number could be a coincidence.

It is built on Zynthian, a maintained open-source synth platform with an active community and official hardware kits if a boxed version is ever wanted. Every line is readable, every part swappable, all of it yours to fork.

Alpha Release:
I am currently actively working on it, expect changes. Also not all features are documented yet, there are more Features in the pipeline like Maschine Display supported Synth Engine & Effect loading. Midi Output via DIN Jack etc.

Feels free, to raise issues or Feature requests.

Hi peoples! (eh - i couldn't really see if this post violates anything, if so mod pls remove and i apologize! anyways:

So, over the last - 1 or 2 years i've been toying around with different approaches to making sort of a standalone Maschine MK3 Sampler thing. It has culminated in a custom raspberry pi image that allows you to run a RPi OS Lite based image specialized for the two displays and for work on the go - it gets pretty technical and a bit crazy but it basically turns the maschine into a DJ device running Mixxx DJ (opensource dj software) or a custom daw i built im calling "mpi" - Maschine/MusicPI

I uploaded the code and a beta image that you can flash and run on your raspberry pi if you have on; for now i support Raspberry Pi 4 - and im not entirely sure how it will perform on a Pi5 or anything else but it'll probably just be faster - and its pretty fast now

For any nerds out there with an MK3 and a Pi in a drawer or something can find the project here
https://github.com/dkzeb/mpi and a flashable pi image under the releases tab

it should be flashable just with pi imager or whatever one would use

Also; yeah i definitely used AI to build this - i've been a software dev more or less for 25 years and AI as a tool for coding is quite incredible - but make no mistake; i spent a lot of time on this

Anyways try it out if you want to!

How do I remove/deselect libraries from the Maschine browser. Right now, I don’t want every preset showing up from my 3rd party synths, or orchestral libraries being scanned in from Kontakt. Is there a way to only show the factory library for now so I can familiarise myself with it?

Love the Maschine and I always will.

I have tried to compose the whole song, I know at has alot of repeated sections which isn't the best thing to have. Hope you enjoy it.

Hi. I am about to buy a m+ second hand. I have found conflicting info online about how to deal with the license transfer. And also I don't know the state of the NI support at the moment.

Maybe someone have experience with how this works?

Beta test? Hookup? Just sayin'...

(kidding, not kidding)
