    Hi,

    Is it possible to use the MK 2 Controller with the older Maschine Software (e.g 1.5, 1.6., 1.7)?

    Thanks

    why ask that?unless your trying to get it too work with cracked software..

    if you buy maschine 2 it comes with 1.8 and its very stable so why use older software that has less features.?

    Why would it work? Some of the buttons are different. The LEDS respond to different messages. It's probably got a device-id and a controller chip inside it that older versions of Maschine wouldn't recognise.

    I'm asking because my old Maschine Software did run on my OS X 10.5.x Mac but I fear that Maschine 1.8 will NOT.

    btw:
    I've bought Maschine 1.5 over a year ago.

    Not very friendly to assume about cracked software when somebody asks a question!

    I doubt it would work and would not recommend trying that. Makes more sense to just upgrade your OS.

    fwiw, 1.7.2 works on Mac OS 10.5.8.

    the Maschine Controllers - including the Mikro - MK2 only work with 1.8. they will not work on 10.5.8
