Hi I have configured my MK3 as a controller for Ableton 11 (eg the pads etc). However, I cannot save the configuration within the hardware of the MK3 it seems. I have to open up the Controller Editor everytime I want to use this configuration.


Is there any way around this (Windowns 11, Maschine Mk3, Ableton 11).


Thanks,

Best Answer

    ?

    MIDI mapping in Ableton is per project, maybe that's what confused you?

    The Controller Editor template has nothing to do with that but you can switch templates from the controller if you need to.

    While in MIDI Mode use Shift+Arrows to change the templates, templates must have Pages/Knobs tho or it gets stuck.

    Thank you for this, but let me further explain

    When I load up my ableton set without the controller and press shift/Plug in on the controller - I only get the 'New Project' option (see photo below)

    Which is simply for it to control the Maschine plug in

    However, when I load up the NI Controller Editor then I get the following option

    Which is the editor that have programmed for Ableton. So basically I have to keep loading the NI Controller Editor - its not a massive problem but I just wondered if I could skip having to load up the editor everytime - do you see what I mean??

    That is not MIDI Mode, that's "DAW Control Mode" or Instance control. (It's not customizable and requires an Ableton Script)

    Press Shift+Channel/MIDI for MIDI Mode.
