MIDI & Audio routing problems between NI Maschine 2.0 & Ableton Live 9

I just can't figure out why routing MIDI control & Audio outputs between Maschine 2's groups/sound slots and Live 9's MIDI tracks/Audio inputs seems to be a hard process. I believed I understood it but after trying several things like External Instruments onto Drum Racks and Host MIDI templates in Maschine…I just don't get it.

I keep getting random MIDI notes whenever I select a sound slot and the sound played back is Sound 1 in Group A. Audio wise, the Maschine Ext 2, 3, 4, etc. doesn't seem to work properly as I have all audio ending up in the Maschine plug-in's track output and sometimes Ext 2.

I'm trying several things right now including figuring out if the Group channel's individual MIDI channels input is wrong because the Sounds slots on a basic Group all have individual channels. A MIDI clip in a Live MIDI track that is supposed to trigger the Sound _ of whichever Group sends notes to the same tracks over and over and over again.

Theoretically this should work but it does not….


Ignore the Drum Rack there…I was trying it out but am not sure if I like triggering like that…I like the Piano roll option, that's why I'm trying to get better editing in the DAW vice the system Maschine holds you to.

 

I fixed the note triggering by dropping an External Instrument instance on each MIDI channel but the audio routing is still a mess. I realize the device I'm using is all Ableton…but I don't remember it being this difficult with Maschine 1. Since I do have each Sound successfully being sequenced in Live, I'm less grumpier but having all of the individual sounds are coming out of each track is not good. There is nice mixer in Maschine so I wouldn't mind bypassing them all by turning off each channel. However, it's not good to work that way just to have sequencing without being able to route & effect audio (like sending their outputs to the group)…within Live.

 

there are videos on youtube that explain it... it is different and takes getting used to with 2.X

 

I saw a couple of videos and they show when you want to route the sounds individually of ONE group, when you have 8 groups with 16 sounds each, how do you manage to route them directly from Maschine 2? The external outputs on maschine 2 gives you 16 ext. that is just for one group, what about the other ones?

 

one virtual pair for each group

 

you turn to change the Monitor to In in Ableton - you still have in on Auto

since were kinda in an area im having trouble at- can you please show me what the correct settings are for ableton to recieve audio from the maschine,thanks

 

my post before your one shows this.

do you need some clarification?
