I know I just posted a video of how to sequencing plugins in Live from Maschine standalone.
But this is a little different.
This if for those that want to use Maschine as a plugin within Live, yet not use Maschine’s sequencer.
This will let you record the midi data into Live’s sequencer while still using the pads/sampler of Maschine.
You would think this would be simple, just load the plugin and go, but it’s not…and many try to figure out how to do it in their DAW.
Anyway, this is a quick video showing how to set it up, so you have each Maschine group on a different track in Live.
If you prefer to do all your sequencing in Live, yet still want to use Maschine, this is a great way to do it.

Hi Joe
That for that I just have to convert this into Logic
Great Job!

@everythingbutthegirl, cool, I don’t know how logic handles things, I know the AU plugins can’t send midi out.
Hope you figure it out!

@everythingbutthegirl, yeah I don’t know, I know there are some issues with AU format, it can’t send midi out, but not sure about the vst, it may work that way.

Live’s external instrument feature is so dope for keeping everything tidy. I’ve been off the DAW for 3 weeks now, so tonight I’m definitely working on Maschine/Live and will try this. Thanks Joe!

@Metatron72, indeed man! Group tracks is tight too, but I only have a lite version of live 8, my full version is still 7 lol.

looks like you have to do to much … to do what it should already do … hey you still have a mpc 4000 ?

@01halo, nah not really, you gotta remember it’s operating as a plugin, so it’s a lil different when you want to send midi OUT of a plugin.
I can send midi into it just fine, but most would want to still use the pads and everything on Maschine even when it’s a plugin, so this is the way to do it.
No I sold my mpc, had no use for it at all.

@Funk Bandit, not sure what you mean, I didn’t use loopbe at all in this setup?
but in general, loopbe is for midi, it’s a virtual midi cable.

my bad .. I thought you did . thanks for the tutorial i will be be putting this to good use bro .peace

@Funk Bandit, nope, this one is just using Maschine as a plugin in Live.
[Reply]
Great tutorial I just have one problem, I hope you can help as you seem quite knowledgable on this. When I set up midi track to receive data, the dropdown below midi from-(post,preFX) does not have maschine track as an option like in your vid. Any idea why?

@T Put, if you are on a mac and using the AU version it doesn’t work, you need to enable vst in Live then use the vst version of the plugin.

@saintjoe,
Damn, thank you so much.
Just got back to this aspect.
Never intalled VST, teaches me not to be so
Again THANK YOU this means so much to my workflow!!
Now this,
I have been realizing how powerful Maschine is in creating fills with whole bar patterns and alternating to create new truly dynamic patterns, or PARTS.
SO, the question is how do I manipulate Maschine in this manner on its on track
And record midi data to another midi track, i.e. Pattern data as it changes.
Just as data gets recorded if an ableton midi track sends data to another midi track, dig? Sorry if this is “doublespoke”
looking forward to more wisdom from ya cranium,
PUT

@Timmy Put, I know there is a way to have the scenes respond to midi, but I haven’t tried it honestly lol. I think some folks talk about it over at the maschine forums tho.

@Timmy Put,
Sometimes when you figure out how to ask a question
You figure out the answer in the process.
So, once I get my Maschine pattern data into a Live midi track,
I cam set to Legato, and no Q then manipulate as I would in Maschine
And record pattern data with changes onto another Live midi track.
Solved, although if I could stay in Maschine as I make these subtle pattern
Changes I seek to record into Live that would be Ideal,
So if ya got that answer, lay bit on me
Thanks again for the knowledge
Put

@MELLYMEL, it’s not really a button, just looks like little arrows or a sort of “target” it’s right in the top corner of the group. Make sure you’re running version 1.5 with all the updates.
