Hey what’s good fam!
Got a question from a fam member on how to use Maschine as a multi-channel plugin in Studio One 3. Basically he wanted to be able to do all the sequencing in S1, and switch between tracks as needed without having to open up Maschine and switch between groups, sounds, etc.
So this video shows how to set it up, for anyone that wishes to work this way. Which can be great if you have all of your sounds and libraries tagged in Maschine, ready to go.
Of course I’m all about workflow so anytime you have questions like this feel free to ask!

Word up fam!
No doubt bro!
Okay this video was scary lol!! I was just in the process of heading down stairs to try this workflow out lol!! I think you get the best of both worlds with this workflow.
Hahahaha, man S1 is so smooth with the midi to audio bounce lol.
true I use to use tracks out, but after you showed me the direct midi to audio, I stopped.
But I want to incorporate both for some strange reason. I like having options lol
No doubt, it’s definitely more flexible!
I was all good until you open monark, I have a partial version, It was given to users when the 2.3 file came out in march, I just recently starting using monark and it’s dope. That’s the only problem I got with this.
This Feature Is dope for Live musician, Church musician, etc…
Ahhh, Reaktor Player? Yeah I don’t think there is an edit tab but I’m pretty sure there’s a way to set the MIDI channel somehow. Otherwise just make sure you use Reaktor/Monark on channel 1.
true, NI petty
True, NI petty though
Well yeah, I know you can’t edit instruments/ensembles with the player, that’s the whole point of it being free, otherwise there would be no reason to upgrade lol, same for Kontakt. But I’m pretty sure there has to be a way to change the midi channel, I know you can in Kontakt Player for example.
work flow about to be on Geek mode lol
Ahahahaha lol
GREAT vid bro. Keeping it real Studio One Three has the best workflow ..especially with Maschine. Its like they thought of everything we would want.
Yeah man, S1 is so smooth with stuff like this, the midi to audio features are just so slick you never have to “track out” unless you want to
Man you have know Idea how you help my workflow with this vid, thanks so much fam
what up knock!
Whats Up Bro !!
Glad to help fam!
How do take this same concept into play if you already recorded melody and you just want to dump it?
You would drag your midi in, and like in this video give each sound it’s own midi channel input. Should be good to go.
Here’s a vid for it https://maschinetutorials.com/maschine-drag-and-drop-melodies-into-studio-one-3/
thanks
No doubt fam!
How can we do in the ableton
You’d set it up the same way in Maschine, then in Ableton you’d just rout the proper midi channels to your Maschine track. Like in this video below (you don’t have to drag the midi though)
https://maschinetutorials.com/maschine-2-1-midi-drag-and-drop-instruments-into-ableton-live-9/
Do you happen to have a much easier system
This video looks better with one studio
we can not in such ableton?
Yeah you can, did you checkout the video I linked? You’d setup the midi input in Maschine on the pads you want to use, same as in this video. Then in Ableton you’d route a midi track to your Maschine track. It’s all in the MIDI routing.

I want to do in this video is ableton in process
but I can not
Do you have a video with ableton?
The video I linked shows how to setup the routing between Maschine/Ableton. Drag and drop MIDI would be the same as using multi channels.
https://maschinetutorials.com/maschine-2-1-midi-drag-and-drop-instruments-into-ableton-live-9/
You’d just setup the midi input for each sound you want to use, or are you trying to do something different?
I can do another video I just need to know what part you do not understand or where you’re having trouble.
Do you just want to play it from your keyboard?
English language is not very good
Example ;
A Drum Kit – I Need a note repeat arp on recordings ableton clip and play maschine 2
B Bass – I need a scale mode open recordings ableton clip and play maschine 2
C String – I need a chrod mode open recordings ableton clip and play maschine 2
I want to actually do exactly that in the video above
Not only keyboard I want to play the pad maschine
Ahh you want to record from Maschine. Well that’s a totally different situation than what is going in here in Studio One. In that case, check these videos For recording chord/scales: https://maschinetutorials.com/maschine-2-recording-keyboard-mode-midi-into-ableton-live-9/ For drums: https://maschinetutorials.com/maschine-2-2-update-recording-midi-into-ableton-live-9/ The only issue is in Ableton you can’t pick which MIDI channel it’s coming from, so trying to record from Maschine on multiple midi channels doesn’t work the same. Like you can’t setup a MIDI track and have it set to receive from midi channel 3 on Maschine, it just comes from any active channel. If you route it back on the proper channel though… Read more »
It is not
because buttons are not changed
for example, went from active to key input
Can I ask you something special
The project is an example ableto do me?
1 Channel 2 Maschine
2 Channel Drum Kit
3 Channel Keyboard Scale
1 Channel Maschine
2 Channel Drum Kit from channel 1 midi
3 Channel Maschine
4 Channel Keyboard Scalefrom channel 2 midi
So are you trying to use multiple instances of Maschine? That’s another option as well.
Ableton Live in
Channel 1 Maschine 2 Drum Setup Plugin
Channel 2 Drum Setup Plugin Midi Channel
Channel 3 Maschine 2 Keyboard Setup Plugin
Channel 4 Keyboard Setup Plugin Midi Channel
This example system. Use the recordings with playing machine studio pad

Maschine 2.2. Sound – Midi – Active Button ( there is)
Mascihne 2.4. Sound – Midi – Active Button ( there is not) where is the button ?
For the sound, they took away the midi activate button a few updates back, you just set the input and channel. In your case you would choose “host” as the input so that the midi from your midi track will trigger the sound.
Bro I’m trying to do the same thing for my high hats but for some reason it work on the pads, can you explain what I’m doing wrong?
I’m not sure what you mean though, what won’t work on the pads? What are you trying to do?
It won’t work on the pads
my question is…. what if I wanted to use my maschine studio to make the beat with the drum sounds instead of my keyboard, how would I flip the setting to give me the ability to
play drums on the maschine..

As a recent convert from Cubase to Studio One 3 I am floored by how easy it is to now work with Maschine as a plugin in my DAW. S1 just doesn’t seem to get in your way as you work. With Cubase and other DAWs I would never use Maschine as a plugin. But after watching this tutorial you literally had me giddy with the workflow. A+ for this tutorial man…. The only thing I would add to this is saving the setup as a template in both maschine and S1. That way you don’t have to set this… Read more »
Yessir man, S1 is super smooth. It is definitely a great idea to save a template, I generally save a project template that is setup however I want in the DAW. I have a template in Live and Bitwig, etc, with Maschine setup how I want in terms of routing, though I only deal with audio, it still lets me get to work quickly.
But yeah, working with Maschine in S1 is very smooth!
One more quick question on this…. With the kits you obviously loose the ability to play them in pad mode. Is there a workaround for that? Off the top of my head it would seem for a particular kit sound I’d have to copy it and paste it in another group so I could play it by itself. For example when you’re using 808 drums where you want to play it in different octaves or something like that. Would that be the correct workaround?
In that case you’d just give that pad its own midi channel to respond to.
I am logged in and there is no video. I am using Studio 5 with komplete Kontrol S 61 keyboard and a Fatar SL1100. What I am trying to do is route the midin in to maschine and then have the midi going out from maschine into studio to record it. I can get the midi to go out to maschine but nothing happens when I play my other controllers into maschine
I just refreshed the code on this page, it should show up now.
As far as what you’re trying to do, you don’t need to go into Maschine then out. What you’d do it set the pad/group to a MIDI channel and set your tracks to send to Maschine on those channels.
