NI is releasing the Accessibility Helper with special thanks to their consultants, Andre Louis, Tim Burgess (Raised Bar), Jason Dasent, and Chris Ankin-musicians from the visually impaired producer community-whose knowledge and expertise have been invaluable in the development of the tool. Plus, by building a dedicated app, NI can continue to deliver Accessibility-focused improvements without needing to make changes to Maschine software. Additionally, the Accessibility Helper provides a degree of in-app help and orientation over the hardware – which are triggered via computer keyboard input.įirst introduced for Maschine MK3, the NI Accessibility Helper will soon be available for use with more NI hardware devices as part of NI’s commitment to developing new tools that empower producers to create without barriers.


The Accessibility Helper works by enabling Maschine users to hear touch-triggered audio cues that read out each control that is used, with all encoders, pads, and screen-menu items identifiable in this way.
