Introduction:

This Control Surface/MIDI Remote Script, providing total integration for Ableton Live 11, 12.1 and up, was exclusively built for MASCHINE MIKRO MK3, back in March 2021, but compatibility and same functionalities are now available and ready to use for MASCHINE PLUS & MASCHINE MK3, without support for the screens, 8x Encoders, 8x square buttons above the screens and other buttons not available on MASCHINE MIKRO MK3.

Several updates have been released since the first initial release and the continued development for this script will provide more future updates for new functionalities, fixes and improvements.

Notes:

This script is not for free, the development of this script continues for future updates, new features, improvements, support and bug fixes.

It is highly recommended to always use the latest version of this script.

The script requires the hardware to be on "MIDI Mode" (SHIFT + MASCHINE ICON button-press combination).

RESTART button is used for "SHIFT" operations, as we currently cannot assign any MIDI CC values for the physical SHIFT button.
