So if you use a lot of Kontakt libraries there may come a time where you want to setup an instrument to be controlled and ultimately automated in Maschine.
There’s a few steps you have to follow to be able to map custom parameters properly, but you know we will make sure you understand how to do this!
In this tutorial I take a third party Kontakt library and map the knobs in it’s interface to Maschine so that I can control it from my Maschine Studio.
You can also do this for the MK1/MK2 knobs as well, and you can also map parameters if you’re using a Mikro you just don’ t have control over as many knobs at once of course.
You can also save your mapped instrument as a sound or module preset so that it is recalled properly with the mapped parameters in place once you open it again.

Thanks for this video Saint Joe! This helped me to map Vintage Vibe, and helped me to figure out how to custom map Battery as well! I appreciate it!
No doubt man, glad to help!
This one is major! I’ve been trying to figure out how to do macros in Kontakt that would show up in Maschine and/or Komplete Kontrol, but if you look up “macros” you’ll find nothing. I gave up months ago. But, since still in love with Kontakt… Finally stumbled on the “Auto” tab tonight and did the old internet search for “Kontakt host parameters in Maschine” and here I am, back at the source!! Thanks again. Seriously, this one is major. Kontakt is on such an insane level compared to any other sampler; this is incredibly useful knowledge, bro!
Always glad to help bro!
Hi SaintJoe, Great video. I do however have a question. Lets say I have some 3rd party libraries in Kontakt and I want to save them as a preset so I can quickly browse and find them inside Maschine. If I assign the parameters like you showed in this video and save a preset, I will find the preset in Maschine User Library, all good, but the parameters will not be “assigned” to the knobs. Lets say in a preset which I saved, I deleted all pages on the Maschine controller without one page. On that page I had four… Read more »
If you saved the patch in Maschine it should save your mapping, how are you saving the patch? Are you you saving it as a Maschine sound or a plugin preset in Maschine and not as a patch in Kontakt?
I save it as a plugin preset in Maschine and it does not work well.
It works if you save it as a patch/sound in Maschine instead of a nks/plugin preset.
Ok, you mean right-clicking the sound (fex Sound1 in Group1)and choose Save As? Could have verified it myself, but at work now.. Slave to the system.
Right, if you save it that way it recalls the knobs properly. Seems like a bug to me though but that’s how it works. I feel it should work either way.
Yes, works fine if I save it as a sound. Great, thanks man!
No problem fam!
