This is just a quick video to answer some questions about dragging midi into Logic and making sure it triggers Maschine properly.
The key here is to make sure you have the midi track routed properly back to the Maschine instrument track so that it will trigger on the right channel.
You can use multiple midi channels to trigger maschine when using it as a plugin in Logic.

This is a fantastic video bro. Thank you. I have been dragging as audio but this option allows you to retain more flexibility, for longer.
Quick question: With the midi separated out by note, At this point: if you were to do a bounce in place, would you get audio for each of those individual tracks?
That’s the same question I wondered about the split notes, I really dig that feature, wouldn’t go get logic just for it, but it’s nice! I wonder if it needs an audio output for each sound though?
I haven’t tried it with Maschine yet…if I were home now I’d give it a whirl…but bounce in place is definitely a great addition to Logic. I can do a whole orchestral arrangement in midi (with something like Miroslav Phil or something) and then at the end, bounce all to audio and it replaces everything that was midi, with the waveform. I just have never tried to do it with anything multi-output yet. I think you would still route each sound to your main outputs…you would just be able to eq/process/mix each drum sound individually because they would each have… Read more »
Yeah I know what the bounce in place is, ableton and studio one both have it.
What I’m saying is, will it bounce the multiple tracks to audio, even though you don’t have the multiple sounds routed to Maschine multiple outputs.
That would be really dope if it does 🙂
Ahh I gotcha. That’s what I’m hoping for too!
(I forget that Logic was way behind the curve on bounce in place…its still a new workflow for me and I forgot that others have had it for a long time, sorry!)
Just tried it for the last hour. Does not bounce multiple tracks to audio 🙁 This is crazy because I bet Studio One could do it. Studio one bounce in place is CRAZY and so easy
Yeah I figured that would be the case, I bet it doesn’t work in S1 without having multiple outputs routed as well. I’ll have to check.
From what I have found poking around, there is a checkbox for “Include Instrument Multi-Outputs As Additional Tracks”, but only if you choose Bounce Regions in Place. So maybe it is possible with a modified template? 😀
exactly, that’s what I was saying about the multiple output thing, it needs to associate the midi with an audio stream, if it’s not using multiple outs, it will not work
I guess it makes sense that it WOULDNT work that way but its too bad just the same. 😀 I always get so tripped up on the whole multi-out plug in deal. I try to avoid them when possible.
Man it would be awesome if it worked that way lol
I will have to check in S1, if Knock doesn’t check first. S1 has dope instrument bouncing, I just don’t know if it wouldn’t handle splitting each sound then bouncing it, it may, and if so, that’s sick lol. I’ve been a fan of s1 as a “final daw” for a while, not so much a production daw though. But I’ve had it for a while, never tried this though. Usually I’m just dragging audio lol.
Can You Do That In Studio one
yessir

What about Protools Knock? Can you check this feature in PT and also a vid on tracking out from Maschine into PT. I’m still trying to find my workflow when it comes to the DAW integration.
Still chuggin along with PT huh? lol Nah I’m messing wit ya…you peeped this one?

When you separated the kit by midi note pitch are you able to add logic effects to the different notes if you wanted to and do each note has it’s own channel strip in logic ?? Just wondering.
when the midi notes are separated it’s just the midi so you’d want to bounce to audio,
he followed up with the studio one drag and drop vid which lets you split the midi and bounce it to audio as well. Then you can apply fx to individual channels.
I been trying to tell folks about studio one for a while lol, it’s the only “daw” I like. I don’t consider ableton a “daw” it’s more of a production tool lol.
But when it comes to traditional “daws” I think studio one is hard to beat 🙂
Damn Sj you should apply for a sales job with Studio one cuz you sure sold a brothah 🙂 Thanks Fam
LOL…my story man…I came from hardware EVERYTHING, down to recording. I started on an akai dps16, then got a boss br1180cd, so I was used to straight forward tracking. All the “daws” i tried, had too much going on, and were messy looking. I saw Studio One at namm back in 2010, and was hooked. It was a one window daw, and everything wad drag and drop lol…it was over, haven’t looked for another DAW since. Again, I would use ableton to produce and mix in S1, till i got Maschine…which is my main everything but sometimes i still mix… Read more »
I’ll down load it tonight when i get back to the lab tell ya how i like it too
Word fam
Ok Joe rookie question I downloaded the demo for studio one in the process of setting it up my ? is on the add device page im setting up my m audio controller it’s asking me in the midi channel section its asking me recieved from / send to what do i choose my pro fire, my controller or what. Hope this makes sense.
You wanna choose whatever the midi input is from, so if you have the m audio setup via usb, choose the m audio itself as the input port.
Gotcha so then the out put would be my profire interface???
since you’re setting it up for the maudio, in and out would be the maudio. You can also setup your profier as a midi device, then you’d use it for the in and out ports.
Thanks Sj For Showing Me How To Work Studio One Drag And Drop
Got it thanks bro off to the races. I should have never found a site called sweetwater.com the have a simple 3 part no interest payment plan. And they are selling studio one pro for 199.00 till the end of October I believe
No doubt fam, bro…I use zzounds, they have 4 and 8 payment plans. I get EVERYTHING from there….unless they don’t have it lol. Love those payment plans man, genius!
no doubt son makes it easy on the pocket. I can break out the lawn mower and go make that money like back in the days. yo aint scared of work and not allergic to extra money either. LOL
Yes indeed brotha!
Hi,
Is it possible to apply a “sound midi setting” to all my sounds of group in the same time ? or should i do it one by one ?
thanks
Click on the group drop down menu and choose “sound midi batch settings” and it will set the midi settings for each sound in the group.
Just choose “sounds to midi notes” and it should work.
OK I tried that, it seems to work.
As you can see on this screenshot:
http://nsa22.casimages.com/img/2011/10/17/111017110554622954.png
My group C contains 2 differents sounds/pattern, one form FM8 and one from Absynth. But in my Logic track, it play only the absynth one, the FM8 sounds and pattern are ignored.
any reasons ?
When using multiple instruments like that, you want to choose sounds to midi channels instead of sounds to midi notes. I thought you were trying to drag a drum kit or a kit of slices.
If you want to drag multiple instrument channels, just set the midi batch setting to “sounds to midi channels” or just set the midi channels manually for each instrument in the group (think of each instrument as it’s own track, it will respond to it’s own midi channel)
thanks StJoe !
No problem fam, glad to help ya out!
Hi StJoe,
Why, since i drag the midi in my channel 2, it plays my pattern (composed by drums, bass, synth etc..) with lower notes, wich is destroy the song melody…
Certainly something i don’t with midi notes, but i didnt touch anything, regular play (based on C3)
any reason ?
thanks
check the root note in the sound midi settings
Hi St Joe
pretty hard for me to get this DAW/Maschine integration done.
I checked the midi settings but nothing changed.
I made a video to explain my problem :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm8KesV0nck
thanks for your help 😉
OK, they way you have it setup, you should use sounds to midi channels instead of sounds to midi notes. Since you have synths in there as well.
So I would go to each track individually, go into the sound midi settings, enable it, and choose a midi channel, don’t use the sound midi batch settings.
So in sound midi batch settings, set it to “restore default” then set each sound’s midi setting manually. Or in sound midi batch settings, choose sounds to midi channels instead of sounds to midi notes.
How do you make the template come back once it goes away?? The machine one i mean.
Where did it go? It should remain in your controller editor unless you delete it. You can browse through templates when in control mode using the shift+arrow buttons.
How do you make the template come back once it goes away??
it went off the logic screen when i crossed it off.. now i don’t know how to get it back on screen haha
Huh? Are you talking about the controller editor software? You don’t need that open to use the template.
No you know in ableton when you can have the machine window on the screen my one in logic has disappeared…
The plugin? Just open it back up 🙂
There must be a button or something to bring the plugin interface back up after you close it.
I have it now…
I was about to do a video for you…lol. I was wondering if you meant the logic arrangement screen or the actual Maschine interface inside logic
I’M so sorry guys But i have MAschine for few months now and i do this tutorial almost every night ! The midi relationship between Maschine and Logic is bad and when u get something, u have weird things like it missing some notes. pretty hard for me to explain what’s wrong I just want to make music, arrange this music but today i cant Can you please remake a tutorial about how to work with this 2 software go deeper : midi, kits, playing sounds, audio, how to sample when maschine is on logic ect… really im thinking about… Read more »
Hi !
Hard to explain what’s happening to me with Logic/MAschine.
So I made a video to explain my issues
Please watch and help me ^^
http://youtu.be/Wz2cLFptLoQ
whats up Shmoo….can you send me that logic project? I have sylenth so it should load up.That way I can fix it for you …its hard to tell from your video because you seem to be doing everything right. If you can send it…My email is knock@knockshouse.com. I will get this right for you. If you cant send I will still be on it today … we will get this resolved.
And the logic project I am talking about sending is the one with your beat in it like in the video.
thanks bro
Im sending…
be in touch
I found answer..gonna do a video for it to show.
i got it… im gonna get this solved tonight
any luck with a video as mine is same as shmoo
when using instruments you don’t use “midi batch setting, sounds to midi notes” instead, you right click on the individual sound, go to sound midi settings, and enable that sound to respond to a specific midi channel.
Me too… I am going back at it… but it’s quite frustrating
What is the issue you are having? Is it the issue with dragging midi for an instrument? If so, peep my response above yours.
I realy think Maschine wont work with logic and its frustrating! i drap and drop a group from maschine into logic track (which has already got maschine on it as a plug in) and it works fine.
I then duplicate that track and drag and drop another group onto the new track and the sound of the midi changes and isnt the sound it is in maschine.
Any ideas?
,ive searched and looked everywhere but am loosing the will here! So confusing may ditch logic an use abelton for techno as ive heard its better integration with native instruments stuff
Ok, why are you duplicating the track? And is it still pointing to the first instance instead of the second one? Also, is the midi pointed to maschine properly and is maschine set to receive it properly? You can point multiple tracks to the same instance of maschine by pitting the groups on separate midi channels.
