Maschine Jam: Native Instruments´ version of the Ableton Push, being released in 2016 it breaks the traditional groove box model for a 8x8 grid with patterns to arrange scenes.

The controller also features dual MIDI inputs and outputs, 2 foot switch inputs, and an input for a 15v power supply, as USB power is insufficient. Studio features 16 pressure sensitive pads, RGB backlighting, 9 rotary knobs, 2 color LCD screens, 2 sliders, a jog wheel, and 66 buttons.

Maschine Studio: The most recent configuration of Maschine, Studio is marketed as the premium edition of the hardware.

The hardware layout is identical to the previous iteration, but comes in black or white. Maschine Mikro Mk2: The current configuration of Maschine Mikro features upgraded pads, and RGB backlighting.The unit also comes in either black or white, and features a removable magnetic top-plate and knobs for further color customization. As well, 3 knobs related to volume, tempo, and swing were replaced with a single jog wheel, and 6 buttons. Maschine Mk2: The second configuration of Maschine is nearly identical to its predecessor, but features RGB backlighting for all of its button and upgraded pads.Mikro also lacked the built in MIDI connectivity which Maschine possessed.

Maschine Mikro: Designed as the budget and portable configuration, Maschine Mikro featured 16 pressure sensitive pads, but only one LCD screen, a single knob, and 28 buttons.Alongside the USB connection, Maschine also featured a MIDI input and output to connect to compatible gear externally. Maschine: As the original configuration, Maschine featured 16 pressure sensitive pads, 11 rotary knobs, 2 LCD screens, and 41 buttons.There are currently 6 different hardware variations:

The hardware is not limited for sole use with the Maschine software, but is also compatible with Native Instruments' Traktor DJ software, and music production software such as Ableton Live and FL Studio. The controller is powered and connected by USB, with each variation featuring 16 pressure sensitive pads and back-lit buttons.

Mixxx has a MIDI mapping for the X1 Mk1, but this is only supported by using the OS X or Windows drivers to translate NHL to MIDI.The Maschine controller is designed like a drum machine, similar to products like the Akai MPC.

*Supported by caiaq driver with Linux input events. com/kontrol- s8-follow- native- instruments/ ) and testing by myself and hile, it is the Windows and OS X drivers that translate NHL to MIDI, not the Controller Editor program. According to an interview with NI ( djworx. The HID controllers only have drivers provided by NI for Windows, but OS X handles generic HID devices natively (see com/en/ support/ downloads/ drivers- other-files/ ). The new ones use HID and should be mappable like any other HID controller. php?f=7& t=3131& p=11843Īpparently, only the older NI controllers use NHL. I do not remember whether I had the driver for that controller installed with WINE though. I have tried running the Controller Editor program with WINE on GNU/Linux but it did not detect a Traktor Kontrol S4. It may be the case that NHL signals are translated to MIDI signals in software on the PC, which would mean the NHL protocol would have to be reverse-engineered by someone with an NI controller and a lot of knowledge about USB signals. Hopefully, the software simply sends a signal to the controller which switches the controller firmware to sending MIDI messages over USB.

At least one of these pieces of software is required because pressing the buttons on the controller when it is plugged into a PC running GNU/Linux does not change anything. It is unclear whether this is done by the drivers or the Native Instruments Controller Editor program. On Windows and OS X, somehow these controllers can be switched to a MIDI mode, but AFAIK no one has managed to do this on GNU/Linux.

For all we know, different NI controllers could use completely different protocols. However, Native Instruments controllers use a proprietary protocol called NHL (Native Hardware Layer) for the controller signals, which AFAIK, no one outside of Native Instruments knows much about. The snd-usb-caiaq driver for Linux supports the Audio 2/4/6/8 series of audio interfaces and the audio interfaces built into Native Instruments DJ controllers.
