I'm sharing my Live 12 template for working with Maschine in Ableton. The idea is to use Maschine foremost as drum machine, one shot player and browser. Then supply with other components directly in Ableton.
The template maps 8 groups in Maschine to 8 drum racks in Ableton. I usually combine this with a midi template for the Machine controller with Transport Control enabled so i can start and stop Ableton transport from the Maschine controller
My workflow with this template is to start an idea in Maschine and when i'm happy with what I have done; drag and drop all MIDI to Ableton and finish there.
After MIDI has been dragged and dropped to Ableton I stop creating on the Maschine controller as there is no way to unarm the different groups. If i record in Machine it will rerecord all the different exported MIDI parts from Ableton back into Maschine again. (Att. NI, record arm/unarm per group would be greatly appreciated)
So after MIDI export i continue to use the browser, perform fx and the mixer. But the track then is finished in Ableton and additional parts are created there. I use the Push controller from there but that is not required.
Several piano roll midi tracks in Maschine is difficult to translate to an Ableton drum rack so it's important to stay away from keyboard mode in Maschine.
