[v1.6.1] MASCHINE PLUS/MK3/MIKRO MK3 Ableton Live 11+ & 12.1+ MIDI Remote Script

Hi @ChannelZ -- I actually purchased a Maschine Mikro Mk3 today in the hopes that I could use it to play drums from the pads rather than my MIDI keyboard. I was just about to purchase the Akai MPD218 when I watched a few videos by finger drummer legend Robert Mathijs and read his gear recommendations (https://questforgroove.com/gear-recommendations/) where he gave the pads on the Mikro Mk3 top marks. While I await the arrival of my Mikro Mk3, I've done some more reading, and was disappointed to learn that out-of-the-box the Mikro Mk3 is not really set up to use as a MIDI controller for finger drumming and that it's really set up to be used with Maschine software (of which I have little interest). I came onto the Community to see if there were any template files that could be imported into Controller Editor that would make it simple to set the Mikro Mk3 up to play General Midi drum kits/notes without having to map each one myself. I was delighted to read this thread to see that there seems to be a more advanced template by Elton that appears to also add support for Ableton (which is my preferred DAW). Do you know if his template/script also allows the Mikro Mk3 to be used as a drum pad controller in Ableton, where the pads are mapped sensibly for Ableton's Drum Rack and/or General Midi mapping for using with VSTs like Superior Drummer/EZ Drummer, etc? I'm praying it does, otherwise it looks like I may need to return my Mikro Mk3.

As for Elton mentioning that you may need to grant Controller Editor permissions, you should be able to do that within System Preferences, under the Privacy tab of Security & Privacy preference pane. I guess the question would be what category would you need to select in the left pane (i.e., Accessibility, Full Disk Access) to grant permissions. You could try both. Hopefully it doesn't require "Automation" permissions, which can't be added manually and must be requested by the application. Maybe reinstalling Controller Editor would prompt the app for requesting permissions upon first startup?

Let me know if that helps. And also let me know if I should be returning the Mikro Mk3 or if Elton's script fills all of my needs ;)

Many things are possible with the combi MMMK3 and Ableton Live but require some work and investigations. Reason: Maschine's Base note is C3, Ableton's Drum Rack is tuned to C1.

For current EZD2 I used http://dsrtsound.com/drum-mapper/ However EZ3 is announced for May. So how knows?

SD3 has MIDI learn functionality in comparison to EZD2, that currently can't do it.

Maybe a Push2 or Launchpad Pro MK3 are better solutions for you.

Very useful script for MASCHINE Mikro MkIII with Ableton Live 11.

I hope to be able to use the note repeat function in clip mode.

Is there a way to change the color of the pad when triggered?
