Hey what’s good MT Fam? Got another question about using Maschine 2 in Ableton, specifically how to use it as an FX plugin on a track in Ableton.
In this tutorial I show you how to set it up as needed, it’s pretty quick to do there are just a few things you need to remember.
So if you have some of your favorite FX in Maschine that you want to use in Ableton or other DAWs, remember you can use it as an FX plugin as well.
If you have any questions let me know!

Hey…. Im on the fence about weather to use maschene alone, and just sample my lengthy vocals there using the pattern length default technique or, use maschine as a plug in. Can you shed some general light on using maschene as a plug in in ableton? How much control over effects do you still have directly on the controller? Can you still manage sceen changes on the fly? Can you still use hush? Genrally speaking what are the advantages in using ableton? I’m making more of a live gig set up, with live looping, and sample triggering via midi. Cheers… Read more »
You can actually record/trigger scene changes via MIDI if you wish. Also, you still have full control over the fx/parameters when using it as a plugin. You could use Hush but the benefit of using in Ableton or a DAW is being able to use your daw for sequencing. Quickly dragging loops from Maschine into your daw or using it as a sound module are two of the most common ways.
How would I do the drag and drop feature on here?
There wouldn’t be anything to drag and drop if you’re just using it as an FX processor.
Great, to the point video. Thanks SJ.
For some reason, when I drag and drop ‘Maschine 2 FX ‘ from either my Audio Units or VST list in Ableton it doesn’t actually load and appear as an insert.
I’m trying to apply the Maschine Tube Saturation to my kick, which is in a Drum Rack – not sure why that would cause any issue.
It seems to load when applying to other tracks.
You may need to open/expand your device chain in drum rack to see it.
I did have it fully expanded – no idea why it wasnt working. 😛
For some reason it is working now. Thanks anyway SJ!
Hahaha, ghosts in the system man 🙂
