So I am trying to solve this problem for a gig friday.

I have been slowing transferring all my music/software onto a new laptop. I own maschine but have 2 licenses installed on my old laptop and a desktop (not new laptop)

I figured that I could still use the controller as midi controller without the software but it does not light up like it usually did when using it for a midi controller.

It only gives one flash and then the LCD does not say maschine in black text as usual and it will not respond to shift+control for midi.


Any solutions? or do I need to uninstall/reinstall the software on the new comp? I've tried it with controller editor open and with all 3 USB ports....the port on maschine seems a little loose but it was always like that b4.

And maschine still works on my desktop in midi mode so idk.

Thanks
