Maschine MK3 Midi Script for Ableton as a Control Surface Not Working
Hello,
I installed the Maschine MK3 midi scripts from Native Instruments for use with Ableton 12. It shows up as an option for a Control Surface in Ableton, but nothing happens to my Maschine MK3 hardware. It has not automatically configured as a control surface as the instructions state. Any tips?

Have you tired pressing SHIFT+PLUG-IN?

Yes, I have. Still nothing.

Same here. "No instances connected" is displayed on the Maschine.

@natemercury I just bought the maschine last week, so I'm still learning.
But I've been messing with it for hours trying to get it to work and finally managed something.
In another thread regarding the Ableton 12.1 control scripts the link below was posted by one of the NI-guys.
I just copied ALL of them in the "Ableton - MIDI Remote Scripts" folder and the "Ableton Live" instance is now loaded on my maschine. I'm not sure why this worked?
I'm not completely sure "what" is supposed to be working though.
I can control volume faders/mute/etc. Start/Stop/play/record…
But the pads don't seem to be doing anything, so I think I'm not completely there yet?
In basic MIDI mode the pads do work. But I would assume the Ableton instance should also have this functionality?1 -
Not sure which controller you're talking about but thats "DAW Control", in that Mode the Pads (oddly) don't do anything… You basically get a mixer controls with cool feedback and transport only. If you read that thread I've explained this… Theres also a cheat sheet for it in the Maschine Download Section:

thank you for this. I'll try it out. But this sounds like what I need - I had it working like this before. Hopefully this will fix it!

Same thing here. I hope NI solve the problem. I'm not comfortable downloading scripts from an unknown server.

This worked* However. I noticed that Ableton's GUI gets really laggy with the scripts installed. I've since just kept it uninstalled for now to get rid of the laggyness in Ableton.
