User questions & answers

Question:	Does the used/refurbished version come with the software
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Does this work with FL studio
Answer:	Yes, it'll work with FL Studio. It's a controller. Just enable it in your midi settings in FL and open up Kontakt (which is the Native Instruments GUI with all the Native Instrument sounds) inside of FL Studio and play.
Question:	how would you connect this to an AMP
Answer:	This is a keyboard "controller". It does not produce any sounds without external modules. In other words, you need to connect this device, via MIDI, to a device that produces sound, which would then be connected to an amplifier.
Question:	I tried this in a guitar center. the interface felt super slow and unresponsive. is this a problem with the kontrol or is it the computer
Answer:	In my case, it was a question of the interface. Connecting via USB to the computer didn't cut it for *any* keyboard until I connected all audio IO to my UAD Apollo Quad. Years after using a MOTU Timepiece, I experienced terrible latency until I discovered you need an audio interface for samples to trigger in sync. It's true of my Kontrol, Nord, Prophet 6, etc. My only instrument that played in sync without the Apollo Quad was an Elektron Analog Rytm.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it touch sensitive
Answer:	Hello, Thank you for your inquiry about the glass jars. The diameter is 2.5".
Question:	Is this keyboard velocity sensitive
Answer:	Hello, Thank you for your question. The containers can be warmed in a bottle warmer. However, we suggest taking the lid off and cracking the warmer so you don't have too much pressure.
Question:	Will this ship Mar
Answer:	Hello, The jars can be boiled, as they are glass. However, please be careful going from cool to heat. It would be best to put the jars (at room temperature) in the water before bringing it to a boil, and keep it at a gentle boil to sterilize. The lids cannot be boiled.
Question:	Where is the ABleton download
Answer:	I, too, would have paid a bit more to avoid profiting a very capable Communist Chinese regime which is responsible for many needless deaths in our country and others.

User questions & answers

Question:	I wanted to purchase the M-Audio Keystation 88. will that be compatible with maschine studio
Answer:	Here's a video on how to use a midi-keyboard with Maschine >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2zFEHyBoZU >> hope this helps! - O
Question:	Will this work on Big Sur “os
Answer:	Probably not for some time after the release. Check the native instruments web site for the current compatibility options for all OS. But when it works - it works great!
Question:	Is this easy to learn? Do I have to buy DAW software to use with it? Thanks in advance
Answer:	The company "Groove3" makes a video tutorial series on Maschine 2.0 software/hardware that shows and explains everything well. you can purchase it, or torrent it. There's also google, youtube tutorials, and the NI online forums. It's overwhelming to look at, but to tell you the truth.. after you finish the Groove3 series you'll start up and know everything you need. I may suggest even watching the series before you buy.. to get you excited for your purchase. That will give you time to wait to buy. Because, well, of course.. BLACK FRIDAY IS COMING!I got my maschine mk2 for 300$ off last year! But know this, In November Native Instruments is releasing an update to the Maschine 2.1 software. They're calling it Maschine 2.2. This update they're making will change the game for Maschine! It has shortcuts to "Chord Mode", Pad "Arp", Pad "Play in key mode" and a host of other functions that we've been asking for .. which seems like forever. This is a very exciting time to be a Maschine head. With the release of software version 2.2 just weeks away, get ready to brush up on your skills. Making a fantastic chord progression is no longer limited to those who have an experienced background in piano. Maschine, is changing the game in exciting ways. I'd recommend viewing the tutorial series and seeing for yourself if it's right for you. As a production tool, I love it.As a live instrument, It's good, but about to be great with the 2.2 update. It's not difficult to learn, but I'd suggest watching someone teach it. There are a lot of excited users out there who want to help you learn via the internet. (Maschine Masters, Groove3, Dubspot.. etc)Hope that helps brotha.
Question:	Can i connect it to a roland fantom x6, are they compatible to use together. I know the Phantom is a little outdated
Answer:	In short..yes. But you can only run it in general midi mode. So lots of features will not be available. I would look at other Playable Pad options first, Maudio trigger finger or an akai mpd. Your personal prefference.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the software included
Answer:	Typical 1 year manufacture warranty unless you purchase the add on coverage thru Amazon.
Question:	Are the first 3 photos of the S
Answer:	Yes you can use it without other NI instruments. It has its own DAW called Machine and workflow. Also you can use it as a plugin in fl studio. It can also be used as a midi controller. Personally I think it's a bit complex if you use it as a plugin in other DAWs as it takes time to route the signal from its own track into your inputs.
Question:	Do I need a computer to use this or can I somehow upload songs directly to hardware
Answer:	Yes I5 or higher. I suggest I7
