Routing Maschine Plugin into Ableton

Welcome to the community!

Routing channels out of Maschine is actually not that hard, but as you noticed: different programs use different naming schemes. Maschine will identify the host as "EXT" (for 'external'), but Live will name the actual incoming (stereo) channels.

As you probably saw Maschine has 16 output channels, well, that's what you're seeing above.

So first things first: you can route audio per sound ("pad") or per group. By default sounds send their output to the group which in its turn sends it to the master output, that's how it gets into Live.

You mention tracks but Maschine doesn't really know that concept, patterns at best. It's not my intent to nitpick on details here, but the thing is: using the right descriptions will make it easier for us to understand what you're tying to do.

So, I decided to load in Maschines standard 808 kit (= personal favorite) and I added the patterns as well:

Let's export the kick & snare separately into Live.

So... something to know: by default the Master sends its output to Ext1, so that's the channel we'll want to avoid:

Here I loaded in the previously mentioned 808 kit + patterns, I selected the kick and opened the routing settings (as seen above). I clicked the Dest. and this menu shows up. As mentioned earlier: by default things go into the group, and from there into the master.

Now we'll re-route this and select Ext. 2. And I'm going to sent the snare 808 into Ext. 3.

Getting this into Live is merely requires the selection of the right input channel:

Now, sure, I'm using Windows while you're using Apple, fair enough. But as far as I can tell the main difference here is that you work with stereo channels whereas I deal with mono. But that's something that gets determined by the plugin; that will define the output channels.

So as far as I can tell... the only thing you need to do is pick the right channel.

Hope this can give you some ideas, despite the different OS.
