#MAC TOUCH SCREEN WONT TURN ON INSTALL#
If they dont, you may need to install not only the device driver, but also the controller editor. If yours is different, then following these steps 'should' work. If your having issues with a MK 1 maschine hardware device and the Mk2 SOFTWARE update (as I was) then this process is the correct one to follow. You DO NOT need to uninstall the libraries to do this, I had all my libraries installed all the time. IT IS NOT, it just has the wrong device driver. Often it feels 'loose' and you would be convinced it's broken. When this happens, plugging the USB cable in causes maschine to 'flash' for a split second, almost like the USB cable (or connection in the hardware) is broken, like a dud connection. The displays will light up and when you load Maschine software (which you will of course need to re-download unless you have it stored somewhere) it will work as expected. Once the PC says that, your controller will work again. Uninstall the software you just installed, check the page again, and download the CORRECT driver for your maschine. *** If at this point you still hear the usb insertion noise but its the three quick boops, then the PC is still not recognising the device. On windows, the usb noise will be heard, and you 'SHOULD' see the pop up at the lower right of the screen that says 'installing device hardware'. Reboot your PC WITH THE CONTROLLER UNPLUGGED. the actual DRIVER that makes machine work.)įind it under the heading 'Maschine Controller' you will see several.
(not the controller driver, not anything else. Make sure you are getting the RIGHT file. Mark1 maschine just the 'maschine' controller etc. Then reboot your PC WITH THE CONTROLLER UNPLUGGED (unplugging the usb from the back of the device is sufficent.)Īnd download the LATEST version of your Maschine Controller driver. Just remove everything concerning maschine.
#MAC TOUCH SCREEN WONT TURN ON HOW TO#
This post is about how to solve this problem.įirstly, you really do need to CLEAN your PC of anything 'Maschine' This can be done via uninstall systems on your pc/mac you DO NOT have to edit the registry (or mac equivalent) or 'find' maschine files etc. It doesn't even show the Maschine logo and the 'Start Maschine software' messages in the small hardware windows. The problem with the maschine controller as far as I can see is that it gets confused when the software driving the controller gets updated (sometimes). I have solved this problem and 'hopefully' this will help others in the situation I was in. It's also not good advice when it comes to the Maschine either. Well, while I appreciate your help - Sticking tin foil around connections is never a good idea.
