    Hey guys,


    I know with kontakt its generally not recommended to try use CRkd libraries with legit version. Whats the deal with Maschine? I see expansion and even the 2.0 update available to download, and i figure it must be ok as maschine u have the hardware only can be legit. I have legit maschine 1 with legit Komplete 9 ultimate. can i use the offical expansions and update found on the site what is story with that stuff thanks?

    The official Maschine version that you have can only be updated through Native Instruments. Only official expansions work with the official Maschine. The Maschine releases that you have 'found' are only compatible with the Maschine expansions that you 'found'.

    Are you sure?, has anyone verified this? I was under the impression that cracked softs were locked out of the hardware. Otherwise I would reconsider, not purchasing maschine studio.

    At least with the R2R versions, you can use the software and the R2R expansions without the hardware. The official versions that come with the hardware will not let you.

    Hmm, well it worked when I was using Maschine Mk1, tbh I don't know if that has changed with Mk2/Studio.

    Mk2 hardware works with cracked maschine version. I use also cracked expansion with legit mac software but it is a struggle.

    Well, I've got maschine 1 and 2 legit, traktor 2 legit, massive because it comes with maschine. My experience is you can't install expansions properly. They don't work in maschine. The rest of the NI software i use is all cracked. (guitar rig, kontakt, reaktor) works perfectly fine.. with no problems at all. But in the end legit is better... especially for NI! Not foir you bro..
    Must also say i recently had contact with NI about a maschine exp. registry problem (i own it legit) and they didn't mention anything about my cracked stuff. What can they do?? If you bought reaktor for instance. They cannot do anything... you bought that, and the rest is none of their business.. good luck with all the worries guys.. Besides crooked cracked versions now and then I ever had a single issue and I do it like this for years already.

    I have the Maschine 2.4 software on 2 desktops and a laptop. One of which is cracked with all expansions some legit some not. I also have legit Komplete Ultimate 10 running alongside with a few discontinued and cracked plugins. All of these I control with the Maschine Studio and Maschine Mikro MKII hardware controllers.
    Never had any problems. Running this type of setup for years now.
    If you have legit hardware setup and authorize that and the software as well as any extras that came with it first and foremost.
    Make sure it's all good in the Service Center.
    Everything else comes after.

    a.) What do u mean. First point, once again There are NO cracked Kontakt libraries . They more or less the real deal. The ONLY reason you are able to use them is because Kontakt bypasses the service center and NO Registrations checks are performed so it does not ask for a serial.


    So it is the actual application Kontakt that is "Cracked" and NOT not the library.

    You cant Crack a library

    THE ONLY librararies that will not work on Kontakt legitimate without yo don't own are Player libraries or encrypted.

    SO in fact you can use hundreds on hundreds of libraries on legit machine without any poroblems whatso ever

    If they player, encrypted legit U NEED A SERIAL.

    b.) It's a similar stories with Maschine. It is the application Maschine that is unlocked. It is slightly different in this case but the principle is the same. Thats why mac people can take a library they don't own and have a serial for and play it thru Maschine. For PC however tou need an activator to insert a reg entry in the necessary place so that it looks like u own it. The libaries however are again very similar to the ones you buy.

    c.) Like Pinkman said u don't need fancy pictures u can make them so for PC u can just extract the samples from the library with 7-zip or something and use them to make a similar library or whatever you want.

    Once u have You get the samples and make necessary resource files PICs and inert etc. Works no problems but takes a bit if time. Most people add it to their user library but with a reg trick they show up and the other side alongside official expansions.

    Almost ashamed to admit... i've never thought about it that way.. i do have the unlegit expansions... and yes, i probably can just enter them into the library manually. And no i don't for care the fancy pictures at all... (although it's nicer if they do appear isn't it? :P)
    Thanks!

    There's one thing though... I can't open kits! that's where it goes wrong.. maybe someone has a sollution or idea???

    I've never had a problem opening third party sample kits.
    Use the samples to make your own kits and save those.
    It's far more fulfilling.

    Make sure that the sample locations are correct.
    File > Preferences > Library
    User tab > click on the folder icon next to the newly imported samples and make sure it's directed to the actual sample folder.

    Make sure factory expansion are up-to-date (most current version possible).

    Worst comes to worst, import the Maschine 1 .mgrp formats to Maschine 2 .mxgrp

    To add and expansion pack you simply install it.
    Run the Reg-Key activator and you're done.

    Expansions made for Maschine 1 will not load properly in Maschine 2 unless the pack is updated to the most current version.
