Wow!! This is a unique video! I’ve scoured the web awhile back and only found one other video, but it was really hard to watch. Thanks for making this short and sweet! Gave me inspiration to get back into my maschine!!!
Thanks for watching Kevin and let me know if you have any questions !
Just wanted to post on here a fix for an issue I ran into with this, for anyone that might also have the issue, my default midi track had a utility fx on it which made it have no "midi to" option, so if you are missing a midi to option and only have an audio to option be sure you don't have any audio fx on your track.
I found this trick earlier for doing the same with Cubase, with a lot of head scratching I got it to work with Ableton.
Really good video in explaining this in such a short time without being incomplete.
Thanks for watching and happy producing with your new Maschine + Ableton Live setup!
BRO! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
THANKYOU SO MUCH!
Thanks for watching this maschine mk3 / Ableton Integration tutorial 😊!
useful
Thank you!
Thanks! It works(; Question, if i load the kit all midi and audio routing is then changed back to default. Is there a way to lock them ? Not to charge audio and midi everytime new kit is loaded? Thanks 🙏🏾
The kits load with their own routing. I would reroute the kits and save them as .mxprj or create new NKS.
I followed the script instructions but it’s still not showing up in midi control services in preferences. I’m using ableton 12
If you want to control Ableton transport with your Maschine MK3, do this:

Hello, having a little trouble maybe its because am clueless. I just purchases ableton live but previously used only the maschine mk3 and the native access library (i.e. kintakt, maschine, etc.). i followed your steps but i cannot select the APC40 MKII as a input/output. What is that for? Also, because of this, I cannot select the appropriate MIDI Ports. The third issue is that i don't see any plug-ins in my ableton. Do i need to do something else? Do i need to use an interface and purchase a MIDI cable? My goal is to be able to connect the MK3 controller to the laptop and open/run ableton as the music production space with my ableton kits/instruments but also the native access library. is that possible? Thank you.
Hi David. If your APC40 MKII is correctly connected to your Mac/PC via USB, it should appear in the list.
In preferences, rescan all you VSTs
If this doesn't help, I have a Maschine/Ableton template you can download on my website.
Everything is explained in this short video:
czcams.com/video/iVqFTNJx0QI/video.html
Let me know if this works!
I am trying to connect a Maschine+ but can't find a midi script for that. Any insights in how to use it as a controller ? Thanks
if not from Native Instruments, not sure where you can get it from. But I ended up deleting the MIDI script from my mac as it causes massive GUI lags in Ableton while using third-party plugins. everything works great.
3:19 why am I only getting mono outs and not stereo pairs like 3/4 and 5/6?!?
Not sure where your problem comes from but I have a fix for you:
czcams.com/video/iVqFTNJx0QI/video.html
there's a complete ableton / maschine template you can download.
Why do we leave the audio input in ableton to none? When I go to select audio import on a track maschine is not a choice
audio input in Ableton should not be set to none, but your maschine MK3 outputs.
I've got a Mikro MK3. I'm new to Ableton but I'd LOVE to be able to use my pads as a MIDI in ableton. Does anyone know where and how i can find a template?
Watch this video and download the complete setup: czcams.com/video/iVqFTNJx0QI/video.html
Thanks for the video.. What is the benefit of configuring both the Midi and Audio groups?
Asking as I have seen simpler configurations for running multiple Maschine instances..
Hi Michael. If you're a Maschine and Komplete Kontrol user, MIDI tracks will be a time saver: (re)arranging MIDI regions in Maschine can be a pain in the neck and you need to open the software every time you want to do so. The process goes a lot faster in Ableton or Logic Pro X👌
@@BruceMennel Thanks.. I use both and will tr y it out :)
@@mickimockymo let me know how that works for you. You will also draw automations in no time in Ableton or Logic Pro X!
Has anyone tried this with LIve12? There is no remote script for 12. Only 11.
Hi Stephen. Even tough Native Instruments recommends installing the remote script, I ended up removing those files as they cause major GUI issues. You probably won't even need them Ableton 12.
@@BruceMennel Thanks Bruce.
Nice! Would this also work with Maschine Studio into Ableton Live?
I haven't tried with maschine studio but it shouldn't be any different.👌
Does note repeat work with the Maschine controller as well?
Absolutely. I usually record MIDI sequences in maschine and export them with a simple drag'n drop 🔥
Hello Bruce, thanks for the video. In Ableton Live 11 it doesn't give me the audio options 3/4, 5/6 etc. it just says Maschine out 2-maschine 2, machine out 3- Maschine 2 etc. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance...
select your audio track. Under Audio From, 1st drop-down list: Select: 1-Maschine 2. 2nd drop-down list: select your desired stereo input 👌
That's what I'm saying I don't have the stereo pair option ( 3/4, 5/6 etc. it just says Maschine out 2-maschine 2, machine out 3- Maschine 2 etc.in the 2nd drop-down list. Hmmm
@@BruceMennel
Not sure where your issue comes from. you may have to reinstall the MIDI Remote Script. Are you using another sound card? Let me know if you find the solution thanks!@@manmadesessions
Hi @manmadesessions. I see the same result, not 3/4 5/6, just 1 2 3 4 5. I've downloaded the latest script. I think the main difference is the vst2 - vst3. I'm on a mac m1 pro and only use the maschine vst3. I've tried with AU first but that doesn't work at all.
I've also tried czcams.com/video/6i54WFFPR6Q/video.html but also vst2, anyone can help us?
I see 1, 2, 3, 4 not 3/4, 5/6 etc. we'll see if it works
Hey @BruceMennel great video, what i've been looking for pretty much. Any hints on how I can make Maschine control ableton's transport (play/stop/loop) etc. so that I can use the rapid midi recording pattern building Maschine offers while using the Maschine software inside Ableton with the routing above? That's the dream - finding it hard to accomplish.
Super easy: Preferences -> MIDI Tab. in MIDI ports ( In:Maschine MK3 ) Enable Track, Sync & Remote. Now you can control Ableton's transport. Thanks for watching and Happy producing! 😊
@@BruceMennel hmm this doesn't seem to do anything. I hit the play on the Maschine and nothing happens. In Midi ports, I have Maschine MK3 EXT Midi and Maschine MK3 Ctrl Midi... i tried every combination for both...
So you're saying you can hit play button on maschine while using it as a VST in Ableton routed as shown in the video and control the ableton transport from maschine that's my dreaaaam
If i hit shift Plug-In i get instances and I can switch to the ableton live instance and control the transport but then i lose access to all the maschine options within the VST weird.
in preference, in the MIDI tab, did you enable Track, sync & remote?@@liamconsidine
no need to switch instance@@liamconsidine
My maschine mk3 won’t pop up in the plug in sectripn
Hi Yousif. Open Ableton and Rescan all your VST plugins. If Maschine still won't show up, I would reinstall the Maschine software from the Native access application.
Hey Techno I can't Locate The Midi Script
Hi Will. Go to Applications, Right-click on Live -> show package contents -> contents -> App-Resources -> MIDI Remote Scripts
this insane level of workaround all because Maschine is simply not compatible with a DAW?! why doesn't the plug-in work like any other plug-in? like, you load a kit and press Record? is it a bug?
This is not a workaround and maschine is very compatible with any Daw. You can easily route and reroute your I/O as you wish. You do this once and save the project as template.
I have tried in both Logic and Ableton and no MIDI notes comes out when I record. To prove this just load the Maschine plug-in in either DAW, load a kit, and try to record into your DAW. There are no MIDI notes. @@BruceMennel
You need to export your MIDI clips to your DAW it's really easy. This is this week's topic so don't miss it!@@kuhliloach8842
@@BruceMennel I found the solution: in Group Midi- Key Mode must be set to Manual, Source must be set to Host, then putting Maschine itself into MIDI mode. Pad colors are then changeable in Controller Editor. Then it works like a normal plug-in.
one tip: it's much faster to record MIDI clips in maschine and export them to the DAW.
@@kuhliloach8842
Hey man thx !! Question, since I installed maschine with the remote script, Ableton had become crazy slow and it’s lagging all the time ?
Great question! I encountered a similar issue where Ableton's GUI became extremely slow after installing the Native Instruments MIDI script. And I found that Ableton operates much more smoothly without it. Despite Native Instruments' recommendation, it seems that removing the MIDI script enhances Ableton's performance. This might not be the solution for everyone, but it's worth trying if you're GUI is lagging.
@@BruceMennel thx man ill try it for sure !! So then how can I use maschine with ableton ?!
If by that, you mean control transport, here's how you can do it:

Get Maximum Control with this Setup!
There has to be a simpler way.. why cant you record all the midi into one channel, why do you have to create so many channels....
Recording all MIDI into one channel might seem simpler at first, but creating multiple channels has its benefits. Each channel can be assigned to different instruments or sounds, which gives you more control over the mix and the ability to adjust individual tracks more precisely.
