- *****NOTE: Driver currently not working on fresh installs of MacOS************
I installed the driver on my mac 3 OS installs ago (currently on Ventura) but it
does not seem to be working according to new users trying to set up drivers.
I made a video on installing drivers on Windows 10. Its confirmed to be working
there.

Hi all,
As Maschine gains popularity with the Mk3 and the Maschine Plus, I thought I would share how my good old Mk1 performs in 2023.
I used the steps here to make it work on mac OS Monterey and it continued to work after future upgrades. :)

Hopefully it still works now if the steps are followed. Its definitely a more unconventional install process. I will try and test it on a secondary machine and post an update as soon as I can.
Here's some links from the video:

Note: Manuals are based on the software from 2018. Most features should work but I would also check the website for the latest manuals :)

Thanks a lot ❤
I still have this one, and it works just fine! 👍🏾
Mann can't wait to try it now
Great Video man!!! i just bought the Software an use my mk1 Thx for this help.
BACK IN GAME!!
just copped one :)
Great video. Have one on hand used for the right price 😊
As an MPC 1000 and MPC One owner, I have definitely wanted to try mashine for a while. I come across v1 controllers all the time for like $75 and have been wondering how the are. Now I mostly work DAWless but i have been considering starting to purchase some VSTs and other PC tools to use with Ableton or the MPC software. I have considered getting a Mashine MK3 used but im not sold on going DAW full time but i was thinking it could be nice to have the option, but thats where i get torn and think maybe the + would be nice so i can run standalone or with a DAW.
Either way thanks for the video my dude
Thanks for this.. i actually setup all my equipment again over december and was wondering if its going to work on WIN10 and it does.
i just need to upgrade to 2.0
Great video, thanks a lot! Considering buying one for my dawless setup. Sorry for a noob question but I assume you can plug it to the midi setup containing devices such as microfreek and bunch of volcas. I also have a minilab mk3 as a controller -> midi thru multiplier to control volcas as they have just a midi input.
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I don’t know whether thats possible as I have not tried it.
Hell yeah you can still use it! I’ve been using the MK1 since 2013. I have however finally ordered the MPC X. I’m ready to go standalone. I think Maschine is best in conjunction with the software that’s why I haven’t bought the Plus. But Akai is the king of standalone.
The MPC X would definitely be my standalone of choice from a price standpoint. It would take some work learning the new workflow but it looks very intuitive!
appreciate the video, i purchased a used mk1 for $50. I did not want to break the bank and your video has eased my concerns a bit. The only thing that scares me is that i have been reading the these machines need a license, do i need a license/register the device? im just messing around trying to make beats for fun. thanks in advance for any ones input
Hi Miguel, as long as you get the Maschine Essentials 2 Software from the mentioned link in the description, it will work. Make sure to install drivers before you plug it in. Then you can open Maschine 2 Software and plug in the mk1 and it will work :)
@@beatsbyrey hey, thanks for the reply. i havent bought the maschine essential software yet but i did download the controller editor. im using a windows 10 pc, when i plug in the mk1all the buttons light up(and stay lit) but nothing shows up on the displays and when i press the pads editor doesnt recognize the touches. Out of curiosity i brought out an old windows 7 laptop and downloaded controller editor to it. to my surprise the pads lit up went off and lit up again and the displays showed the maschine logo and other info "download maschine software or press shift + control for midi" is windows 10 not compatible with the mk1 any longer? i dont want to buy the software and get stuck using windows 7
Hi @migueltoledo1963 ,
I made a video on how I installed my driver on Windows 10 and uploaded on my channel today:
czcams.com/video/JevKrHzo3ng/video.html
Hope it helps. It was on a fresh install of windows - I recently made some hardware changes to my PC. It worked well for me.
Hello bro, I have a second-hand maschine Mk1, I don't have its ID, you say that if I buy the Software, I can use it without the serial ID?
The next question is: Is it necessary to buy the Mashine software to be able to sync it with Ableton Live?
Sorry for the questions I hope you can help me, I don't speak English a thousand apologies!
Hi there,
I upgraded my PC with a fresh install of windows 11 and will be setting up maschine and its drivers for my mk1 soon. I plan on doing a video of the install process and upload a video soon. Hope that helps. Since its an old device the ID no longer works to download the software unless it’s linked to your Native Instruments account. I bought mine on ebay and they didnt give me the license. I had the software that came with a Maschine mk3 mikro and it worked automatically with the mk1 once i installed the drivers.
I am not sure how to make it work with Ableton as midi controller but I will try that and see if I can make a video on that as well :)
Also your English is great! :)
Is that the SL= 220 technics tuen table?
Its the SL D2 😄
I have ventura 13.2.1 i have an old original maschine controller. I tried downloading the driver but it failed. I am wondering if this is just obsolete. I would like to use it as a standalone midi controller. I have yet to figure it out.
The drivers don't work in 12 and higher
I remember someone mentioning that they were able to use the mk2 driver and got it to work but I’m not sure. I used the reddit thread in the description to install it on macos monterey and it’s continuing to work on Ventura (possibly a carry over)
I wouldn’t buy an mk1 for macos. I would try mk2 or higher for mac
Having the same issue on my new Mac mini with driver for mk1..hope it get fixed ..
Hi, the system requirements to for the software are: macOS 12 or 13. I'm running a macOS Big Sur 11.7.10 - do you think it will work anyway?
I dont quite know but its worth testing it out.
Can you use it just as a drum pad in fl studio?
I am not sure as I have not used FL studio
you can. that was my set up for a while until the mk1 for me stopped working. it was my favorite device in the world. you would just sync it up as a midi controller.
@@Raymix1000 I’ve got a Arturia midi with pads but I want something specific with atleast 16 pads
I would recommend the novation launchpad. I think it works with FL Studio. I used to use it with Ableton
@@beatsbyrey you can... i dont use FL, but you can use Maschine as a plugin in any DAW. you can even use it as a midi controller for Ableton Live.
do you need massive to use Machine Mk1 ?
Nope. Not for most things. Massive is its own tool. You just need Maschine 2 Essentials
Does it work for playing loops in live shows ?? Can we load loops in it ?
you definitely can. i use mine as a plugin as well in Ableton Live
Yup! You can live loop with it. You will need a computer with the software however since its not a standalone
Is it worth getting one of these without a license transfer? Hope to hear back soon as I'm looking to grab one, thanks
Also are these units standalone. Can you make beats without being connected to a computer?
@@sixsense6161 you do require a license to use the maschine mk1. and no they are not standalone
Since the mk1 is pretty old, theres a good chance Native Instruments support will ask you to purchase the Maschine 2.0 software. It should work without issues once you have the software.
The controller requires the software as @3shabs3 mentioned. If you want a standalone Maschine device, you can look into the maschine plus. Though it is a little bit limited in hardware performance compared to using it with a computer.
i buy one last year... but i dont have much knowledge to get it fully started... i have no midiinterface on my pc... can i use the mk1 only with this usb cable? iam scared to install all that stuff and get this midi setup done...
Yes the USB cable should work. Its what is typically used in Printers as well. Its a USB A to USB B cable.
@@beatsbyrey i know but the most people tell me ineed a midi interface...to set up this..
and get sound out of it
bro my eyes are on fire with all this incense!
Won't even power up..how to I turn it on. Thanks
Did you install all drivers? I remember it not powering on without drivers. It would light up for a split second and then do nothing before the drivers are installed. Also do check the cable in case its an old one - maybe the cable isnt working properly.
Estou vendendo a minha quem quiser comprar
What about IOS?
I dont know if it works with iOS unfortunately
MK1 no longer works on any recent MAC OS. 10.11 in 2015, was the last version that works with Mk1. There is no way to use MK1 maschine with modern Macs. The machines that run 10.11 are all very old now.
I used the steps here to make it work on mac OS Monterey and it continued to work after future upgrades. :)

Hopefully it still works now if the steps are followed. Its definitely a more unconventional install process. I will try and test it on a secondary machine and post an update as soon as I can.
@@beatsbyrey could u do a tutorial video on how to do that... it doesnt work for me, maybe i did something wrong...
Hi I updated the description to mention that it no longer seems to be working on Mac. If I find any info on how to get the driver's to work I will try and make a video. I unfortunately do not have another mac based machine to test on at the moment.
