Native Instruments recently released version 2.2 software for the MASCHINE family. This new version unlocks the touch sensitivity of the eight knobs beneath the hi-res displays on MASCHINE STUDIO, making the knobs respond instantly to touch, and opening context-sensitive menus, on the displays for faster browsing for sounds and instruments, intuitive routing, and accelerated workflow.
MASCHINE STUDIO requires a firmware update to enable support for this new v2.2 feature. A new dedicated application, Device Updater, maybe be downloaded from the NI site to handle this firmware update process.
