Hey what’s good MT fam?
Just wanted to share a video I did highlighting the new integration between the Komplete Kontrol keyboards and Maschine version 2.2
No matter what I do and don’t like about the Komplete Kontrol series in general, there are definitely some things you can do that will definitely enhance the workflow.
In this video I just go over the main points of integration for those curious about the two working together or for those with both who want to know what you can do with them.
Of course as always, if you have any specific questions feel free to ask.

Hmmm. Good video.
Can we say a poorly implemented Kore 3? They need to go back to the drawing board with this. No need for the pop up browser, and the keyboard should be an extension of Maschine, not a counter intuitive sidestep. As much as they’re charging for those controllers that’s ridiculous.
Thanks for the video doc. I think I’ll be holding off, until that gets updated.
I totally agree, like I said, there should have been some sort of info on the controller for browsing. As for Kore, it’s not even close, I’m still on the hunt for a Kore 2 controller lol. I mean it’s cool that it integrates and you can actually control things within maschine, but they need to just make a studio keyboard, that fully merges maschine with a keyboard all in one unit. I’ve been saying this since 09 lol. But also remember, it’s not a maschine controller, so the pop up browser is exactly how it works outside of Maschine,… Read more »
Yea if N.I. made a controller like you described that would be the ultimate setup. Then they could justify a paying a grand for their controller.
A change in management is needed over at N.I., as far hardware/software innovation goes. To me they’ve lost focus on what’s important to a creator.
Anyway Happy Thanksgiving.
Yeah, I think most would pay for it too. Hopefully they do it man, you know I won’t stop speaking on it at all lol.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving bro
Is there a way to let my external keyboard, which isn’t a Kontrol Keyboard, play the one note chord trigger option instead of triggering it with the maschine pads because with only 16 pads it can be quite the hassle. I’m using maschine inside Ableton running the 15 pads each on their own external instrument channel. love the setup so far but finding it hard to play only on the pads when using the new scale and chord features of maschine 2.2. I also have Push, but triggering chords properly still needs you to place several fingers on different pads.… Read more »
Unfortunately, chord/scales only work from Maschine pads or an NI controller. There’s no way to make it work from an external controller currently without having one of the keyboards. Pretty wack in my opinion.
Frustrating, yup…but That arp feature is nice though.
Definitely frustrating, I don’t even mind the chord mode as much as arps, triggering chords can be done from the pads pretty easily, but playing arps is a totally different process and I just don’t see the use of it being limited to the pads of Maschine unless you have an NI keyboard.
what about just installing the Komplete Kontrol software?
Komplete Kontrol software doesn’t work in Maschine.
Can you browse the Maschine software with this controllers software or just the Komplete 9/10 instruments and sounds??? Just wondering. And yes that would be a nice update to have a complete package for all of Ni gear and software
Yes, I’m browsing Maschine’s whole library in the video, not just Komplete. So anything in your Maschine browser you can get to from the keyboard. Including your user stuff and any expansion packs from NI.
Thanks fam as usual 🙂 My other question is when you record in maschine and it catches your midi notes will it show the actual keys being played in piano roll so you can go in and some in-versing of the notes or anything like that???
Yep, I showed this in the video also, since right now it only works in Maschine. But it will highlight your keys in the piano roll and you’ll get all the separate notes.
Thanks fam. Almost sold for Christmas since I was looking for a new Key Board/ work station. I’m sure or hope they will do their tweaking as time goes on. Must have turned my head on the vid. Those damn kids u know 🙂
Hahahaha, all good, just wanted to make sure that’s what you meant, so you could check it out if you wanted to.
Or I should have said add on packs such as Marble Rims and such
Whatup Saintjoe!
So I am having an issue with komplete kontrol and abletons transport functions. I have installed and reinstalled a few times each time following the instructions precisely and all I get when i press any of the transport buttons on the keyboard is a midi note. I was wondering if you could offer any advice for troubleshooting?
In Ableton did you make sure to choose the proper input output? (daw instead of midi)? As well as Turn on the remote functions in the settings below for those inputs/outputs?
I’ve only hooked it up to Ableton once or twice to test it and don’t have it hooked up currently, let me know if you’ve tried that or not and if that doesn’t work I’ll pull mine out to check.
yes Ive tried that with no success. Ive tried ticking almost every option in the preferences and still the only thing I can manage the transport controls to do is sending midi notes to whichever plugin i am using. I am able to stop that by de selecting of course but it still doesn’t address the transport functions. All the NI forums and support links are just a redundant circle going back and forth between installation and host integration with actually no instructions as to how the preferences are to be set up either. NI has really ticked me on… Read more »
Hmmm, I really don’t recall it being that much set up required. Did you put the script files in the ableton folder too? I’ll check it out on my end.
Oh yeah I put the script files there and the instrument files into the presets folder as well. In fact Ive done all of that at least 3 times.
Not sure what to tell you, I just did it and it works fine. Under control surface I choose Komplete Kontrol, for input and output I choose Komplete Kontrol (DAW).
Down in the midi section I find the Komplete Kontrol input, and chose remote, I can play/stop and record as well as loop, fwd, and rev.
Man this is so strange because when i use it in machine the controls work fine. Well thanks anyhow Joe!
Very strange, definitely works on my end man
I can’t get my kontrol s49 to work on my mac pro 10.10.2 yosemite. When I open Komplete kontrol and load an instrument I get no sound, and when I open up my Maschine studio, I can get the stop, play, and rec functions and all the knobs to work just can’t get any sound. I’m running KU10 also. When I had it hooked up on my macbook pro running 10.9.2 and KU9 it was working fine. Any suggestions? When I l open up kontrol and load up like 80s drums or something my transport buttons triggers the sound not… Read more »
Did you set it up in machine preferences as an input as well as for full control?
This is how I have it set up in komplete kontrol
Inputs
Maschine studio (port 1) on
Maschine studio virtual input on
Komplete kontrol daw-1. Off
Maschine 2 virtual output. Off
Komplete kontrol virtual input. On
It won’t let me select outputs. As far as the transport buttons I figured that out. I just cant get any sound out of the key when I hit them…
In Maschine midi settings under inputs you should see komplete kontrol 1 as an input, make sure that is turned on and it should work.
Why did I not get one of these sooner!?
Thanks for the lesson man!
Ahahaha, no problem man.
hey Im not getting any sound in Maschine from my komplete. controller and I’ ve selected it in the hardware preferences what could be the problem it works in komplete control stand alone mode please help …thanks
seems to be working
now
IM STILL HAVING TROULBE IF I PREES A PAD ON MASCHINE I hear SOUND AND SEE THE LIGHT FLASH ON THE KEYBOARD , but if I press a key on the keyboard I don’t hear any sound can someone please help?
??
Do you have the KK turned on as a MIDI input inside of the Maschine preferences?
let me check
I have in stand alone mode still
it should be in midi mode huh?
I don’t even see komplete control in the audio routing section
have it selected as midi still no sound
in midi screen I only see complete control daw-1 Have it checked still no sound
Try this…
1.unplug the midi cable from your Komplete Kontrol.
2 Plug it back in
3 Shutdown Maschine software
4.Open maschine software back up.
5 Top Left click “Maschine2” then “Preferences” then “midi”
then “INPUT”
(Do NOT worry about the “Audio” tab)
6 See if you see your Komplete Kontrol in this section
and if you do select it then click “Close”
This should get it to work…if it doesn’t then you have some other internal stuff going on.
got it thanks
