Hi everyone. I’m new here and I looked around for a bit but I couldn’t find this specific discussion.
I’m a relatively new KK + Maschine user. I picked them up at the same time and have been learning them together. I really love how they work in tandem. The browsing, color, coding, layering sounds, performing, etc.
What I want to know and what I’m trying to figure out is if it is possible to integrate the KK + Maschine workflow inside of Ableton. I know there are tutorials about using Maschine within Ableton by routing it through the External Instrument device. The problem there is that Maschine acts as it’s own thing. I love the way KK and Maschine communicate with each other and it doesn’t seem like there is a way to maintain that workflow within Ableton itself. Or is there?
I have a lot to learn but it seems like one work around is running Maschine in standalone mode while also running Ableton. I can use a program like Loopback to send audio back and forth but it’s far from what I’m ideally trying to achieve.
I hope I’m making sense here. I love Ableton (and also use the Push 2) and I’m trying to figure out a way to integrate everything together seamlessly while maintaining as many of the native features of both. I realize there will probably be compromises with any solution, just trying to get a grasp of what my options are.
Cheers.
