I’m sure you’ve heard the news of the new Maschine MK3 controller (and the new Komplete Kontrol MK2), there’s always plenty of excitement surrounding the latest Maschine release.
I was invited to New York to get a personal demo of the new unit and while I was there I spent some time asking Maschine Product Owner/Lead Chris LaPietra about the development process, as well as some of the things he is most excited about.
Of course, let us know what questions you have about the new unit, what you’re excited about, what you like, dislike, etc.
There’s plenty more coverage to come 🙂

I just recently brought Mk-3, and for some reason its not locating my audio interface under the devices. the interface is working with everything else except maschine. For some reason it appeared 1 time and never reappeared. Can you help me with this?
Sounds like a driver issue, if not, could be a defective unit. Haven’t had to do anything special to get the audio interface to show up. Try a different port?
