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

Hey Elton,

This is freaking awesome... I love it. When I got my Maschine Mikro MK3 I was so disappointed that I couldn't use it with Ableton Live 11 as a MIDI. This is exactly what I wanted. Well worth the $30. I bet it took you hours to develop it. And it fairly does exactly what you mention in the manual. I found a limitation on my Mac Ableton 11. So thought to note it here:

• In Scene Mode, the scrolling with the knob works, but it doesn't change the "Blue" rectangle on the UI to indicate where you are in scene range. Probably a limitation in the tool, but could really nice to have the MIDI selection range (the Blue rectangle) change as you scroll.
• ^^ in the manual you mention you have to hold "Shift" to scroll, but with/without it works!!

Also one cool feature for drumpad coloring:

• Make the colors dependent on a format of RGB Hex code after a hashtag
• For example: Shaker #800000 --> would make the color of this shaker pad Maroon RGB(128,0,0)
• OR make it RGB based... For example: Shaker (128,0,0) would mean the same

Do you have a “keyword” to “pads color” mapping? Or a reference that has that documented. I figured out some of the colors, like kick = red, hit = pink, noise = white. But don’t have all of it.

Elton,

My hats off to you man. Once upon a time, I was mainly a Maschine user, but I moved over to Ableton and all of my maschine hardware. (I own a bunch of them) was collecting dust. This is exactly what I needed. Really great job here. At first I thought the price was way to steep and after using it for some time I realize it is WORTH EVERY PENNY. Your script is incredibly intuative, and the manual is also very well done.

A few things of note:

1 - Note repeat does not lock when hitting shift + note repea

2 - I would love a way to be able to scroll through and browse/audition my sounds (collections favorites) Perhaps when you hit the browse button and start scrolling through your sounds and folders with the job wheel and or the arrow buttons

3 - Fixed Velocity (which I've seen that you are working on)

4 - For the Maschine MK3 being able to use groups to select your tracks would be really nice.

5 - Have you considered doing something similar for the Presonus Atom? The current Ableton script done by presonus is sorely lacking.

So, after using this for a bit, it looks like your v 1.60 shift functions do not work... @Elton Memishaj

update: just read in the documentation that shift = restart/loop. Works great!

Hi Elton!

First of all - I appreciate your hard work and the way this script works and how intuitive it is is incredible. I produce music for a long time now, Last year I tried to switch from FL Studio to Ableton and bought Ableton Push 2 (which is a phenomenal piece of hardware) but right now I thought about switching to smaller MIDI pads but with some controls of Ableton and your script did the work 100%. I'm not sure if I'm going to switch to MIKRO only, but it's nice to have options.

Now the thing I wanted to report:

• I found a little bug, that when I switch to the track mode by pressing SHIFT + GROUP and then add new midi or audio track - shift options don't work no more and also I can't turn off the track mode by pressing SHIFT + GROUP. I have to go to other mode to escape this state.

Beside that fixed velocity mode would be very useful (I've seen that you already work on that).

I don't really understand how metering mode works and also have some issues with using events mode, maybe I just didn't figure it out yet.
