Help needed with Maschine and Mackie Control mode

[ttaralli]

I have Maschine running with Ableton Live 7 and I can't seem to get it to work with Mackie control?

In Ableton my Midi Preferences are set to Mack Control and Maschine is set to input and output (other templates work fine). When I load Mackie control on Maschine it doesn't affect anything in ableton just everything lights up on the controller when I hit a pad (ie. I hit pad 1 and everypad on the Maschine lights up). Can someone please help me?

PS. I'm using a mac book pro

Did you place the Maschine controller file in the correct folder within Live? (as mentioned in the NI controller editor templates manual).

that's not necessary,since it isn't a script.

he just has to select "mackie control",set Maschine in/out and it should work.

I looked and couldn't find the Maschine controller file and I also thought this was a script. However I've done what 33tetragammon suggested and still nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?

From the NI Controller Editor manual:


3. MASCHINE Controller 3.1

Ableton Live

3.1.1 Installation In order to use the MASCHINE Controller for controlling Ableton Live, you need to copy a folder from the “Template Support Files” folder into the application folder of Ableton Live.

??If you are using Ableton Live 7, copy the folder “/Ableton Live 7/Maschine Controller” to the Ableton Live application folder.

??If you are using Ableton Live 8, copy the folder “/Ableton Live 8/Maschine Controller” to the Ableton Live application folder.

Mac OS X: The target folder is located inside the Ableton Live application bundle. Right click on the “Live.app” file and choose “Show Package Contents”. Copy “~/Ableton Live/Maschine” folder to: Contents/App-Resources/MIDI Remote Scripts



... You have to copy this file every time you install a new version of Live, it's a bit of a pain with all those Betas flying around.

I've done that for the love template and it works great, but I'm trying to get the Mackie Control to work as the controls are completely different. Thank you for reply though

Sorry, my bad... I wasn't listening properly.

You're both right, you just need to choose Mackie Control on the Surface, then the Maschine Controller option for In and Out.

You also need to make sure that Track is on for both Mackie Control (Machine Controller) Input & Output in the Midi Ports box underneath. Maybe that's the part that needs a once-over?

(Got it working fine here).
