maschine controlling ableton live
what are the options out there for software to use the maschine to control ableton. ive seen NI's offerings but just wondering if there was something out there that was more useful

What do you mean?
Re: maschine controlling ableton live
maschine can work wonders with live.
the LED + pages of buttons + knobs is so clutch..one of my setups is:
buttons:
page 1 - launch clip ala APC/launchpad style (i have a 1x8 rectangle that can move around)
page 2 - arm track
knobs"
page 1 - track volume
page 2 - macros
then all those side buttons can be midi mapped/re-programmed w/ Bomes too and the pads feel super nice.
overall Maschine is my favorite surface controller for Live. all it needs is a mini keyboard companion (akai lpk or korg microkey) and ur set! wish it was a bit smaller tho

you can access that by using the 'controller editor' application.condra wrote:I don't know how to do that. Just bought Maschine yesterday, but thanks for pointing me in the right direction
For Maschine templates (for use with the 'controller editor' application) look here :

Re: maschine controlling ableton live
I made a user remote script back when I got machine. It can be found in post #35 here:
http://www.native-instruments.com/forum ... 226&page=3
http://www.native-instruments.com/forum ... 226&page=3
New Live Template
This utilizes the user remote script with live. It is for basic controls and does not launch clips. It has drum racks, macros, sends, and volumes mapped
Group A of the pads maps to the current drum rack. The other Groups go chromatically up always with C on pad one.
Transports are all mapped. Restart = Loop and Erase = Stop
There are 4 pages of knobs.
-One is for the 8 Macros. The eight buttons correspond to the eight banks for the knobs. The Browse/Sampling buttons are for Previous and Next bank.
-Another page is for the 8 volumes with the corresponding buttons for track arm.
-The last two pages are for Send A and Send B. The buttons do nothing on these pages but are labeled 1-8 for reference.
There are 2 files in the zip. One is the Maschine Template and one is to put in the Ableton user remote script folder

Is the "red square" there yet?
Re: maschine controlling ableton live
That and device/macro controls with parameter names are the most missing parts from official NI remote script.rosti wrote:Is the "red square" there yet?
