Maschine as a plug-in question

Hey guys,

Sorry if this has been asked many times before but I was unable to find it in my searching. I am attempting to use Maschine as a plug-in for the first time and running into something that I am not sure if it is by design or if I am just doing things wrong.

I have added Maschine as a virtual instrument and everything appears to work just fine expect that I can not record midi notes that are coming from the Maschine controller. If I trigger the sounds from my midi keyboard the notes get recorded and can then be manipulated after the fact.

BTW...I have tested this in both Reaper and Studio One Pro and get the same behavior in both.

Thanks!

Scott

 

You can play notes from the pads into a daw so long as your daw is set to receive and play midi from Maschine. Unfortunately you cant record your patterns in Maschine to your DAW directly (which seriously negates any freeform song creation IMO), though you can drag and drop the midi files to it.

 

Cool...thanks for the info. I am very suprised that we can't record the patterns. On the surface that seems like a pretty straight forward thing that would work.

 

you can record the patterns output as audio just not midi. I guess once Maschine can output midi patterns the implications for what it can in other areas such as programming lights, visuals etc will be huge. Also makes it far simpler for recording live jams into your DAW that you can go back and edit later if notes / note lengths / key signature etc need changing.

Record in what ? DAW ? Maschine ?

When I read your question I don't understand the same as other people (their answer is not what i would answer).

- Record in maschine with mashcine controller = works fine no problem
- Record midi track in DAW for other vsti, with maschine controller = no problem neither (Maschine controller has to be set to midi mode and a template with midi note must be loaded).
