Maschine Mikro MK3 - Logic Pro X

Hi guys - I have trawled the forums for an answer but there doesn't appear to be any accurate, detailed information regarding using the Mikro MK3 with Logic Pro X.

I know you can use Maschine 2 as a plugin in Logic but can the MK3 be used as a midi controller to play the Logic Pro X software instruments? Maschine 2 does not provide for a lot of the classical instruments that Logic does and I bought the MK3 assuming this would be easy to do.

Thank you

 

Yes , shift and the maschine logo puts the controller in midi mode

Thank you very much for this and for taking the time to create the template. I have caught up reading through the notes you previously exchanged with someone else on this - Did you ever make the video you talked about explaining how all this works?

Thanks

 

No , I didn’t get round to it yet .
What do you need to know ?

 

One of the things I want to be able to do is simply play Logic instruments and be able to move things up an octave easily - i.e. make C1 C

One of the things I want to be able to do is simply play Logic instruments and be able to move things up an octave easily - i.e. make C1, C2

 

On the maschine controller hold group, that brings up the pad /octave bank

 

Also - There's a lot of different links to templates - which one should I use? Thank you again!

 

The first template is a controller template it has just the transport and pads and the encoder moves the playhead

The second template again for the controller,has transport , pads and control for logic on the other buttons + encoder , move playhead and scrub

The third template is a project template for logic using maschine as a multi timbral plugin , so each sound is on its own channel and can be played chromatically on the keyboard

So you can use either one of the first 2 ,
and the 3rd can be used with them
