Note: The magnifying glass icon appears when you hover your mouse cursor over the product name as seen in the screenshot. If you have KONTAKT libraries on an external drive, you can locate them using the magnifying glass icon next to the INSTALL tab.
Install your products from the Not Installed tab. Set your Native Access download and installation paths as shown in this article.
Install Native Access on your new computer and log in to your NI account. You still maintain the number of activations granted by the License Agreement. If you have already installed your product on the permitted number of systems and you. Note: If your computer is no longer working and you cannot uninstall the NI products, proceed with the activation on the new computer. The end-user license agreement (EULA) for Native Instruments products allows the simultaneous installation on two computers (three computers for all versions of MASCHINE and KOMPLETE), as long as only one installation is used at any given time. First, make sure that your products have been uninstalled from your previous computer(s) if they have already been installed on the permitted number of systems. I’ve just named them in a way that works for me. ****Feel free to update the name of each group in the template if you wish. ***This template requires Ableton Live 9 or later and Maschine 2.7.8 or later. Instead, just drag a new sample onto any pad to replace it. **When changing the sample on any Maschine pad don’t hit “reset”! It will also clear the routing. Utilize Maschines’ dedicated mixer to pan and mix levels, and then bring the audio into Ableton as summed audio. *The first Maschine group in the template is for drums. A nice advantage is that you can still use some of Live’s proprietary effects racks, MIDI effects etc by placing them on the relevant Ableton tracks.
OR, if you are one who prefers to do all of your sequencing, mixing & processing work inside of Maschine you can. So, if you like to take advantage of Ableton’s excellent sequencing, mixing and processing features and essentially use Maschine as your sampler, this works well.
The answer, for me, is a template that routes each of Maschines’ 8 groups to 8 individual tracks in Ableton Live.įor maximum flexibility, the Ableton Live tracks are set up as external instruments, meaning you can not only route & record audio from each Maschine group into the individual Ableton tracks, but you can also record MIDI output from Maschine if you wish. In the end, I’ve ended up with what I think is the best way to integrate the two, leaving maximum flexibility and accommodating different workflows. I’ve been around the block on this question more than a few times and spent hours testing and revising different scenarios.
Or, put another way, how can you make the most of Maschines’ intuitive hands-on hardware, and maximize the sequencing and arrangement features of Live? If you’re using Native Instruments Maschine and Ableton Live, you may have struggled with a common question: what’s the best way to integrate the two?
