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

Hello Elton,

I just updated from 1.50 to 1.51. Perfect documentation! Again: I appreciate your hard work.

Thanks for taking the time and replying to everyone.

I am having similar issues.

The script works when I open a new project. But also then, once I for example mute something, I can only mute and not play anymore until I restart Ableton.

When I open a pre existing I can't trigger drum pads.

The only way to solve it is to transpose the buttons in the controller editor, but then the colours get stuck on the colours I last used on a working drum pad in a new project.

Would be amazing if you could fix this somehow!

Get well soon! Take time for your recovery and don't apologize for it, everyone here appreciates your work.

Maschine Plus Users - Good News, MK3 Script Works for Plus

Hi Elton,

I really admire all the work you have done on this from looking on the old thread especially.

For those looking to use the MK3 script for their Maschine Plus, I am happy to report that it works well - I am very pleased with the note repeat function in particular. I haven't tested all the functions yet so your mileage may vary...but initial impressions are good!

To get it working (Live 11 only), follow the instructions per the manual, with the following deviations to steps 4 and 5:

A) At step 4 of the manual, select device as Maschine Plus in Controller Editor instead.

B) Instead of step 5 of the manual, right click on 'template 1' on the Maschine Plus template side bar and export it somewhere you'll remember. If you don't have template 1 listed just load up any of the factory templates by clicking on them under the 'factory templates' drop down menu, and then export it. This is so we have a .ncmp file to edit, rather than the .ncm3 or .ncmm3 files that correspond to the mk3 and mikro respectively, as Controller Editor won't allow us to load those extensions for our Maschine Plus. It simpy won't recognise them in explorer.

C) Go to the extracted folder provided by Elton and open the "Maschine Mk3 Ableton Unofficial.ncm3" file in notepad (Right click -> open in -> notepad).

D) Select all from "Maschine Mk3 Ableton Unofficial.ncm3" and hit copy.

E) Open up the .ncmp file you just exported (in step B), in notepad. Select all, delete everything and hit paste.

F) Third line down, change 'midi-map type="MaschineMK3"' to 'midi-map type="MaschinePlus"'. The functionality is a not quite right if you don't do this - the note repeat button acts as a toggle rather than its usual gate for example.

G) Hit save. Now point Controller Editor to this .ncmp file (don't think the filename matters) in a similar manner to step 5 of the manual. Continue with step 6 and onward...

I'm sure there is a better way of doing this but this was my quick hack lol. Couldn't find anything on the internet about using MK3 scripts in Plus either. Until Elton gets time to include the Maschine Plus integration this is a workaround..I am very happy as this has been doing my head in and no help from NI.

Keep up the great work!

Hello there,

I have some issues when using the template on live 11. the thing is that I mainly produce using maschine as a vst in live, so I am constantly changing between maschine as slave and maschine as a midi controller for vst in live itself and everything is cool except when my midi controller got kind of stucked and I have to close live and open it again so the controller can work again. It happens a lot between sessions and I ve noticed it happens mainly when I combine maschine as a vst.

All of my software is original, updated to the last version available on my laptop and I use the controller straight to a usb port, no hubs in between so I would like know if another person has suffered this type of issues when producing and how to avoid it so that its not necessary to restart live when you are in the middle of a production.

regards!
