[v1.5.0] MASCHINE MK3/MIKRO MK3 Ableton Live 11 MIDI Remote Script (Unofficial)

Hi Elton,

I've been using the script successfully for a few months, now all of a sudden, although i can play drums (as an example) with the mikro, it is no longer recording midi notes to ableton. Any suggestions here?

 

Hello,

I am sorry to hear that you are having issues while using the script and I am aware of some problems on DRUM mode, most of them are already fixed, but not yet released, but I would like to ask you if I understand this issue well.

- The selected track is armed
- You switched to DRUM mode
- You hear the sounds being triggered when you press on the respective pads
- When recording, the notes are not being recorded, despite the fact that you can hear while playing them

Please let me know if this is the correct case,

Thank you for your cooperation into solving this issue!

 

Hi Elton,

thanks for getting back to me - and yes, that's exactly the issue, point for point.

Looking forward to the next release! and if you have any idea how to solve this in the meanwhile, it would be greatly appreciated as I wasn't facing this issue previously (maybe the issue is from my side?)

 

Hello,

Since you haven't faced this issue previously, I think it is either a rare occurrence of the error causing a possible script crash (which will be re-initialized if you restart Live or reselect the script in "Preferences -> MIDI tab -> Control Surface dropdown selector"), or an unexpected behavior without crashes.

I am sorry for my silly question, but did you check if you were recording using REC or SHIFT + REC, as the SHIFT + REC will start the Arrangement Recording.

Thanks again!

 

Hello everyone,

For MK3-only users: I uploaded a fixed version of v1.4.0 MASCHINE MK3 Controller Editor Template for this script, containing some important fixes related to JOG WHEEL, Octave Up/Down, Root note and scale selector.

Please download the uploaded zip file and re-apply this template to NI's Controller Editor (run as administrator) for your MK3.
I also updated the main post of this thread to include this zip (CE template only, for MK3, MIKRO MK3 had no problems)

For MK3 + MIKRO MK3 users: Stay hyped for the v1.5.0 release!

Thank you,
Elton

 

Hello everyone,

It is been very quiet lately.
Regarding to the upcoming release, it is almost ready and I am working on the user manual and possibly some video tutorials.

As for the script functionalities, fixes and development for the new release, they are mostly finished.
The user manual is the one that is still in the works, however.

Stay hyped for this upcoming v1.5.0 update and please let me know about your suggestions or questions.

Best,
Elton

 

I sent you a few emails but no response maybe you missed them. I’m pretty excited to use this but I’m having issues with basic things right now which is really disappointing. All I wanted for function was really a way to select a clip to play and be able to go up and down octaves to play instruments in live that is about all I’m looking for in the controller script and yours seemed like those were definitely features. I’m on Mac OS - Mojave 10.14.6 - It is an IMac 3.6 GHz Intel Core i9 (eight core) and 64 GB RAM.
Here is the basic issue I’m having. I installed according to install guide. The unit is connected, midi notes are being received.

1. When I have no instruments loaded in live then I can use jog wheel or up down and record midi and I can see it is shifting the octave up and down and corresponding midi is being recording without issue. I then pull up a drum rack and the controller is outputting C2 and the wheel and octave buttons are now working to scan over the drum rack but not working to change midi octave information being outputted. I could use a transpose midi device as work around but I don’t want to I was hoping the script would just allow something simple like this to work. Worse though is once I close the drum rack out and load a new instrument into the channel or a new channel the script is now continuing the drum rack behavior and not changing midi notes but just scanning midi octave window.

2. I thought maybe this was something to do with the drum rack itself. SO I restarted and again I see midi notes being recording in before I load a VST and octave on jog wheel working to change octave input on midi notes. I load a piano VST (addictive keys) and in keyboard mode it is working as expected without issue in triggering notes and recording notes. I switch to live sampler and again working no issue octave up down is great. I then load a drum rack and it switches to a different mode. I no longer can shift up and down octaves. I create a new midi track and load addictive keys and the script is stuck in this other mode (drum rack mode?) and no longer responds to jogwheel to change octaves. I also try to change to a different mode which was working before. So I think hitting keyboard or restart keyboard does nothing.

I read through the forum and the installation and change guide as best as I could. I don’t want to ask for money back I really would like this to work and it seems you put a lot of effort into trying to get this to work and I’d like to support you doing this but I also am disappointed as I’m sure you can understand. I hope all this makes sense from my description and open to any ideas you have on making it work.

 

Hello Matthew,

I apologize about my late reply, I have received your emails. Lately I have been sick and couldn't manage to give support for the time being, I also was about to prepare for the new big update v1.5.0 but I think this is also postponed for some more days.

There have been a lot of issues for DRUM mode in v1.4.0, especially when switching from instrument track to drum rack track and vice versa.
Most of the issues are already fixed, especially the script crashing on rare scenarios related to DRUM mode.

There is a possibility that next week the new v1.5.0 version will be released, if everything goes as planned.

I thank you for your patience and please let me know if you have more questions about this or any other issue.

Best,
Elton

 

Hi Elton,

I have been following your thread for quite some time, and I have never seen anyone so dedicated towards making the script muuuuch better!
I got the Maschine MK3 about 2~2.5 years ago, before the pandemic happened, but hugely missed the integration in Live 10 and 11, until I saw your post. I could not have been happier, and I'm sure everyone else on this thread does as well!

Through the versions I did indeed counter some bugs (PAD MODE did not switch back from KEYBOARD MODE when Ableton Groups were made, they did work when not in groups, the notes when in KEYBOARD MODE did not change when scrolling the JOG WHEEL) but after your latest update they do work a lot better. Still freezes up sometimes, but after reactivating the script it works, and sometimes I have to do it again.

I do however have an future request/question: CHORDS mode. How realistic is it that it may be available in the future? I have no problem not using it since I use plugins to build my chords, but it would be amazing if that is possible.

Nonetheless, I am hyped up for the 1.5.0. release!
Kudos to your work!

 

Hello,

Thank you so much for your kind words and appreciation!

Most of script crashes (that user has to reinitialize the script again) as you described above, should be fixed already for the v1.5.0 release

For the CHORDS mode, it is a great idea and thank you for the suggestion. I have considered this feature for a future release, together with a STEP mode (for step sequence), similar to what MASCHINE already has, when used with MASCHINE 2 Software. I do not yet know how complex that might be, but I will see this in the future.

Thank you a lot and please let me know if you have any issues or other suggestions

Best,
Elton

 

Hello everyone,

Regarding to further script development and upcoming releases, new information will be posted on a brand new thread on the new Native Instrument's Community Forum portal starting from 11 January 2022.

This thread will remain in a read-only state.

The new v1.5.0 release is almost ready, the feature and bugfix wise it is fully ready, in progress is the User Manual, it got delayed again due to my health problems

I will try to make a "draft" forum thread on the new forum and post the link here before this old forum reaches the read-only state, in order to post the new link here and in the first post of this (old) thread.

Thank you everyone for your support and patience,

Elton

 

Hi Elton, I purchased the script a few days ago. I am absolutley shocked and appalled that an official version of the script for the mikro mk3 doesn't exist. I totally missed that in my research on buying the machine, I just assumed there would be seemless integration with Ableton live 11! Anyway, thanks a lot for this script. It sounds like there are lots of good stuff coming out in the next version and the guide will be greatly appreciated - I have no idea what I'm doing and how to use the script properly. When I first installed it, it seemed like everything worked but now a few days later it seems that it doesn't work at all. I know that's very vague but I don't know where to start. You talk about "modes" in your original post, I have no idea how to enable modes...lol. Ok, I shall await the guide. Thanks again.

 

Just a thought, you could consider creating an email list to "push" update notifications to buyers of the script instead of us having to check a forum if / when updates come out.

 

Hello,

I am very sorry to hear that you are having troubles with the script.
Could you try to reinstall the script, following the INSTALLATION.md guide file provided in the script zip file?

Let me know if you need further assistance please.

It is already implemented that further updates will notify all the customers via email (email used in Gumroad).
Thank you for your appreciation and suggestions, please contact me about issues with the script

Best,
Elton

 

Hello everyone,

The new thread for this script is now created (draft/work in progress at the time of this writing) on the new Native Instruments' Community Forum portal.
Link of the new thread: https://community.native-instrument...ableton-live-11-midi-remote-script-unofficial

This thread will no longer be used after 11 January 2022 (will remain in a read-only state). I will also update the first post of this (old) thread to include this link.

The v1.5.0 release is almost there.

Thank you everyone and see you on the new Community Portal

Elton

 

Hi Elton,

I buy the Script 1.4 , 25th July.

How can i download the new version 1.5?

Tanks

 

Hello,

Thank you for asking
It will be released on 11 January 2022 (after 2 days) and all the existing customers will receive an email

Elton

 

Thanks Elton, I sorted it out in the end. It was an IO (idiot operator) issue, I didn't read the instructions correctly and copied the folder into the wrong directory (I put it into the Ableton live remote scripts folder instead of my user library folder). Thanks for the quick response!

 

I am very glad to hear that you resolved the issue

Thank you for letting me know about it!

 

The new space wasn't really live and I was wondering where everyone was coming from.
Well now I know
There still some bits under work right now (mainly welcome email, notifications ...) but see you there for the official start tomorrow everyone!
