it is now possible to record midi straight from the maschine plugin into logic and from the controller without midi mode

Im still testing it but it’s looking good

step 1

Turn on the logic and maschine virtual port in logic and maschine (standalone)

Open maschine ( not multi timbral ) on a logic track

In the logic track inspector

Set midi - to all or your controller

Set - internal midi in - to instrument output - maschine 3

Set - record - set it to rec from both the main midi input and maschine

Set Midi in channel - to the same maschine group /sound channel you are using

Set midi out channel- to the same

Step 2

Go to maschine plugin and load group

Go to group -midi - input - set to manual

Turn off thru

Set source to Host

Channel to the same as logic trk

Set start note to c3

Go to sound output

Select all sounds ( with sound 1 selected, hold shift and select sound 16 )

Set source to host

Channel to the same as logic trk

Unselect all sounds ( hold shift click on sound 1)

Transpose each sound after kick ,in numerical order , 1, 2,3,4 and so on, the reason for this is to set the note that the sound outputs

Kick will be c3 , because of the start note setting made in the input , so sound 2 is 1 (c#) sound 3 is 2 (d) sound 4 is 3 (d#) and so on.

And that’s that

Press record in logic and it should record your pattern from maschine to logic ( it’s important that thru is off on the input otherwise it starts to add notes transposed by an octave )

The controller should input notes in normal mode , arp should work etc .


here’s a video , had to zip it for some reason

    a few things to note

    This only work on the non multi timbral version plugin , if I try to use one , the virtual port starts to disappear, you can get it back by opening maschine standalone , but you have to leave it open or it goes again , and it doesn’t seem to want to separate midi channels , if you’ve got 2 c3 note playing it kinda cancels one out

    I’m going to test that some more ., but I think at the moment, you need to use more than 1 group , you need to use another instance of the plugin

    The other thing is

    If you want to record your pattern from maschine into logic that’s fine , but if you want to record from the controller into logic , make sure your maschine pattern is empty
