Controller, and connect the cable’s other end to one of the USB-ports of your computer.

If you want to run the MASCHINE Controller on a USB-hub instead, make sure the hub
has its own power supply - the MASCHINE Controller will not work on a passive (bus-

If you have any MIDI equipment such as synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines or samplers,
you may connect them to MASCHINE’s MIDI In and MIDI Out ports.
