    I've just received my copy of Komplete Kontrol software, i installed and ran it standalone... no problem, however it installs vst/au files that when won't show up in maschine, i've tried on my macbook and iMac, now i'm curious is this only for 3rd party DAWs because i'm over here scratching my head.. have anyone else tried to run it vst/au in maschine...

    No it doesn't load in Maschine, and honestly there would be no point, it is no where near as good as Maschines browser, It doesn't even support VST, so not much use using it inside Maschine (Other than the arp/scale/chord stuff which is getting built in to Maschine)

    oh ok... i didn't think of that... for some reason i thought it would be a faster search with KKS... but your right that would be redundant... thanks

    I made everything according to guide, but all I got is an empty chain. Cannot open the interface anywhere or see AU or VST under plugins...

    I'm pretty newbie with live though, but is this how it's supposed to work??

    did you run Komplete Kontrol in Standalone Mode first?

    have you activated your VSt and AU plugins:

    and this is what you should see:

    Yes, run in standalone first. Also tried to rescan plugins and restart computer, no change.

    Komplete kontrol plugin seems to be installed correctly to system default folder and other plugins are visible in Live.

    I have ableton 9.1.5 already, can that be a problem?

    i have Live 9.1.5, and i am not having this issue.

    is your Live 64 Bit?

    On a Mac, Komplete Kontrol only works with 64Bit Applications.

    You can install a 64 Bit version of Live along with a 32 bit version.

    Hah, that might explain it! I cannot see anywhere from Live that which version it is, but I am pretty confident that it is 32.

    Gotta install 64 and try again. Thanks, sowari!

    (PS: would have been nice to mention in installation instructions, perhaps even an image how working setup should look in Live)

    I'm guessing it will work with Maschine after the November update...

    Pointless or not it should still show up in maschine surly as its a vst.... right?.
    I have the same problem as well.
    Did someone mention that maschine is gonna incorporate scales chords and arps... is this right???

    Yes, there's a new update scheduled for November that will incorperate scales, chords and an arpegiator (it also looks like the chord functionality will be better than Komplete Kontrol as you'll be able to extract the midi notes from the chord progressions).

    Me too ,started to panic when I see this thread ,but then I read this
    KEYBOARD INTEGRATION

    MASCHINE 2.2 gives you full keyboard functionality within the MASCHINE environment. Press browse on your KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard and the KOMPLETE Browser pops up on your computer screen, letting you select and load a sound directly into a sound slot in MASCHINE. Watch scales, chords, and arpeggios light up across KOMPLETE KONTROL’s Light Guide™, see the color of your sounds in MASCHINE directly on the keyboards, and get perfectly-mapped parameters instantly with Native Map™.

    Does it mean that it is not possible to load komplete kontrol as a pluggin in Maschine until the 2.2 version is released? I tried it also and I have the same problem as you, cannot find komplete kontrol in my pluggin list from Maschine.

    I doubt you ever will. You can't load Maschine inside Maschine and by all accounts KK is a cut down version of Maschine...
