I just saw another answer come into Tracktion from a Maschine user:
"Hi Waverazoristas. All is working great now. I have done tagging and mapping, create image and NI Resource files and can now using all in NI Maschine and Komplete Kontrol. Would be great if other controls (like input and output volumen) could be mapped in maschine too. I hope for an update. But thänx anyway for this great and crazy synth."
Maybe it can provide some clues... I don't have a Maschine myself, so I am just guessing, but perhaps the controls need to be mapped first in order to work? Sorry if I'm not making sense.
All the best,
Taiho
