3.5.3 Controlling Various Instances with Different Controllers
You can use two or more MASCHINE controllers of different types (MASCHINE STUDIO, MA-
SCHINE MK3, MASCHINE MK2, MASCHINE MIKRO MK2, MASCHINE, and MASCHINE MIK-
RO) simultaneously with different instances of the MASCHINE software (possibly with one in-
stance in stand-alone mode). In doing so, the following applies:
â–ª Only one MASCHINE controller of any type can be connected to an instance at a time. You
can choose which instance you want to control from each controller as described in ↑3.5.2,
Switching Instances.
â–ª When you start a new instance of the MASCHINE software, it connects to one of the MA-
SCHINE controllers according to following precedence rules:
â—¦ Rule 1: The MASCHINE STUDIO controller focus has priority over the MK3 controller,
which takes priority over all legacy controllers (MASCHINE MK2, MASCHINE MIKRO
MK2, MASCHINE and MASCHINE MIKRO).
â—¦ Rule 2: The MASCHINE controllers (legacy and MK3) have priority focus over MA-
SCHINE MIKRO controllers.
â—¦ Rule 1 has priority over rule 2.
