If you have already been using Maschine for a while and have just updated the software, you still need to launch the program in standalone mode to finish the update process. Literally one USB cable away from making killer beats and songs, all you need to do when you take your Maschine out of the box is install the software, plug in the hardware device, launch the program in standalone mode and wait for the program to find and map out pathways to all of the sounds on your computer and harddrives. Native Instruments has done an amazing job, yet again, of making the process of setting up Maschine as simple as plugging it in.

For people who did not own Massive prior to this recent update, it is a groundbreaking shift in the way you can make music with Maschine, putting all of the power and sonic capabilities found in Massive right at your fingertips for live performances and recording alike. You have long been able to use different plugins within Maschine, even synths, but Native Instruments has obviously realized the potential locked away in this devastating pairing of Maschine with NI Massive. In that time we have remained dedicated to providing the very best in all things Massive, and now that includes Maschine as well. has been the fastest growing and most active NI Massive community in the world since it began, more than two years ago. Seeing how our favorite synth is now included free with the update, we want to extend a warm welcome to our newest community members and share what you need to know about setting up Maschine with NI Massive!

All Maschine owners got a nice gift from Native Instruments this week when they released the new Maschine 1.8 software update early.
