Note: If a specific driver is not listed on the Drivers & Other Files page, it is available on the UPDATES page. For more information about downloading an update from the UPDATES page, please read this article.

Important Notes
- Some devices additionally offer a Device Updater, which allows you to update the firmware installed on your device. An asterisk ( * ) next to the device name in the tables below indicates that a Device Updater is available. We strongly recommend to download and install the latest Device Updater from our Drivers & Other Files page in order to avoid possible functionality issues. Read more about updating the firmware of your device in this article.
- All NI devices offering controller functionality require the installation of the service application Controller Editor. This application is automatically installed with software products bundled with the corresponding NI hardware (TRAKTOR, MASCHINE, KOMPLETE KONTROL) so in most cases, your controller will function correctly after having installed its corresponding application. Should you require a manual installation of Controller Editor, please download the corresponding version for your operating system from the CONTROLLER EDITOR section of our Drivers & Other Files page. Learn more about troubleshooting and special uses of Controller Editor in the Related Articles section at the bottom of this article.
- Some NI devices offer both audio interface and controller functionality. They are summarized in the tables Audio Interface + Controller for each corresponding brand (KOMPLETE, MASCHINE and TRAKTOR) below. These devices may require a driver, Device Updater and Controller Editor installation. Note that any issues observed with these devices should be handled separatedly: If your device is not playing any audio, verify that the correct driver / Device Updater has been installed. If your device is not lighting up when connecting it, verify that the latest Controller Editor version has been installed. Find out more about troubleshooting audio interfaces and controllers in the articles linked in the Related Articles section at the bottom of this article.
