Following sections describe the various MASCHINE contexts in which touch sensitivity comes
into play.
You can adjust the touch sensitivity of Knobs 1–8 — see section ↑2.6.8.5, Adjusting
the Knobs’s Touch Sensitivity for more on this.
Important: Update the Controller Firmware to the Latest Version!
The touch-sensitive features will work on your MASCHINE STUDIO controller only if its firm-
ware is in version 22 or greater.
If the MASCHINE software is running and the connected MASCHINE STUDIO controller has a
firmware version lower than 22, the touch-sensitive features will not be enabled. Furthermore,
in the Hardware page of the Preferences panel, the new Touch-Sensitive Knobs section won’t
provide any settings but instead show a message indicating how to update the firmware of your
controller:
The message in the Hardware page of the Preferences panel helps you update your controller’s firmware.
