    yep. just hold the shift button on maschine and then press control/midi.

    this will make maschine function as a typical midi controller

    u can switch it back and forth

    Maybe because you didn't assign anything to anything?
    There are a bunch of templates, just try one, see how it works.
    Then roll your own;)

    I don't know if this is the same problem, but I figure I will share the solution to the problem I had in case anyone stumbles on this like I did.

    I was trying to use the Maschine software and use BFD2 and EZdrummer as VST plugins and couldn't get the controller to function in MIDI mode for controlling the VST.

    I had to enable MIDI IN/OUT for the Maschine controller from the Audio/MIDI preferences inside the Maschine software.

    Might seem like childsplay to some but it was driving me nuts.
