Hoping there's some knowledgeable people that are using Ableton with Native Instrument products who can shine some light on an issue I've been experiencing. I followed the set-up for the Ableton template associated with my MIDI controller (Maschine MK2) in the following article down below:
https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/4413367278097-How-to-Install-MASCHINE-Templates-for-Ableton-Live#:~:text=Start%20Ableton%20Live.,e.g.%20Maschine%20Mk2%20Virtual%20Input).
However when I open up preferences I do not get the Maschine Studio Virtual Input/Output dropdown options and the Input field for my controller is greyed out as shown in the attached picture.
When I open up the Native Instruments Controller Editor program I am able to choose an Ableton Live Template and modify the functions for the knobs & pads, but do not get feedback on the top right MIDI indicators when trying to operate the controller in Ableton Live 11.
If anyone has had success integrating their Native Instrument MIDIs onto Ableton. Any help would be greatly appreciated, please and thank you.
