How I Use NI Maschine in Logic Pro X

[@paulcogley8029]

As a long-time Logic Pro user (some 15 years) integrating anything Native Instruments into my workflow has been painful, this is one of the very few videos that has been easy to follow and logical to me (I must be old and stuck in my ways), so thanks very much for it!

[@Demuir]

Anytime!

[@yoozer8741]

Thank you sir. Little hack to name all mixer channels at once: Just select all and control-double-click on the first channel. If it ends on 1 it will rename all the channels sequentially. Greetingz from Berlin!

[@JosephRegala]

Thank you for this tutorial. By far, the best instructions I’ve come across on, not only setting up Maschine with Logic, but easily swapping out individual instruments on each track.

[@Demuir]

Anytime!

[@tubbythump9321]

An important thing to remember when using Maschine with global swing enabled is to paint in a hi-hat pattern to the grid resolution you're working at, and export that to make a groove template in Logic so it can be applied to other parts.

[@GoGeoGo]

This is the best tutorial for Logic integration I've seen. Simple and easy as these things should be. Some tutorials are filled with unnecessary information and overcomplicated workflows. It should be up to each person if they want to do more intricate things with their template setups. Thank you.

[@dannykirsch]

Do you work in the exact same way? I think it’s great however if you decide to add something in maschine after you’ve dragged the midi from maschine into logic then as soon as you press record on maschine the midi notes already in logic get recorded back into maschine. Is there a way around this that you know of?

[@Demuir]

@@dannykirsch I do work in the exact same way. You can re-record by letting the midi run with Maschine in record or paint the additional instance in.

[@dannykirsch]

@@Demuir Good point about painting the notes in however I don’t like working that way and prefer to always play the pads. What I mean is that let’s say for example I’ve recorded a kick, clap and open hi hat pattern in maschine and I’ve dragged the pattern into Logic Pro. I then delete the midi in maschine or just select pattern 2. Then later I decide to record a closed hi hat pattern in maschine using note repeat. As soon as I hit record in maschine in order to record in the closed hi hat pattern while the kick, clap and op hh are playing back in logic that kick, clap and op hh pattern are going to be recorded back into maschine from logic. Is there anyway to prevent that from happening? Also working this way can one only use group A?

[@YouGotOptions2]

how would you set up the templates for if you use like 2 groups in Maschine??

[@Demuir]

Hi - I'm good with 1 group for my workflow as I dedicate Maschine to accent my drums. I imagine it's possible to have more than one, but I haven't had the need to go down that road.

[@halebopp17]

cheers for this. it finally all made sense. I used Maschine standalone always but this was easy to follow and setup. One thing I still don't fully understand is how to route Maschine sounds when you have multiple groups in Maschine and with different soundsets on each group. Is there a way to route the other groups sounds to Logic? Or you create another instrument track for another maschine instance in Logic? How would this work?

[@Demuir]

I don’t use multiple groups because my core use of Maschine is for drums whose sounds I can easily swap out and also isolate from a mix down perspective. However, you may be ok if you assign certain “groups” of sounds to pad 1 to 4 let’s say and then do the next group on pads 5 to 8 considering you have over 16 pads and you can mix them down individually. Just a thought. Good luck!

[@tensionaudio]

Great vid but how do you utilize scenes (I think that’s what it’s called in maschine) where it’s different kits /sounds on the next scene

[@Demuir]

I don’t utilize scenes when it’s connected to Logic. I use it this way because I want maximum flexibility in how I arrange instruments and an ability to easily swap sounds.

[@petegreenfield8366]

@@DemuirDon’t worry, I’ve solved it. There were two lines in the Maschine 2.0 manual I hadn’t spotted.

I can bang out ideas on Maschine and then transfer the MIDI to Logic but wait, that's not it, Logic plays it back through Maschine.. That's like perfect. Super awesome.

[@bustogw]

Hello, thank you for the video, question , can you use sera to sample inside of maschine VST( like vst in the vst)??

[@Demuir]

Not sure because it's a VST.

[@dannykirsch]

Great video. Will try this set up. Question though especially as you’re making mostly house bears it seems. What is the advantage of using maschine as an AU plug-in versus not using maschine at all and just using Logic Pro? Obviously you get to use pads rather than just the keys on your usb keyboard controller but is there anything else really? In logic I drag samples from splice straight into the sampler and you can easily swap out drums sounds etc afterwards. In terms of maschine’s swing you can drag a hh midi pattern into logic and create a swing template which you can apply to Logic Pro. I just wonder whether your workflow would be even faster not having maschine in the equation at all? For example what if after you’ve dragged in your midi you want to add something else in maschine? I guess one advantage of using maschine rather than just logic is note repeat. Is there anything else? I get that you have all the drum samples laid out for you but then you could also do that in logic (can’t recall the name of that sampler). I’m just in two minds as to whether I really need maschine any longer or whether I should just sell it? Really love this video however please would you help me decide what to do bearing in mind my comments/questions above? 🤔Finally do you prefer maschine over the mpc for house music etc? Is maschine’s swing as good as mpc? What percentage of swing do you typically use on maschine?

[@Demuir]

Good observations. My main reason for this workflow is control in the ability to swap out sounds from Maschine’s vast library and flexibility to insert my own sampled sounds in there. Second advantage is song arrangement… have them as midi clips is much better for me when it comes to song arrangement. I really don’t like it in Maschine. As for swing, you can do the midi templates and I have a few of them already embedded in my template in Logic, but Maschine allows you to swing at the instrument and global level. I love how quick and accessible this is. And how it’s embedded in the midi clips when I drag the pattern into Logic. I rarely use the overall (Global) swing in Maschine, but having the option is nice. I mainly use Maschine’s swing options at the instrument level (eg. Closed hat or whatever).

[@dannykirsch]

@@Demuir thanks so much for your comprehensive reply however the reasons you give are great when you compare your workflow versus using Maschine as a vet inside of Logic Pro the 'normal' way but I don't know whether there are advantages of your workflow versus not using Maschine at all and only using Logic Pro so I'm still confused 🤔

Hey Demuir I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. It's been quite informative Thanks... Right about now I'm looking for a workaround for my Machine MK1 with my MacBook Pro M1 Monterey without any luck, I hope they come up with a solution to that soon. But I have a question which is can you use the software without the hardware? I just thought I'd ask here as it seems a cool place to start. I also have push 1 but as I moved over to logic not sure if that will work as well or as good. But once again thanks for the knowledge .

[@Demuir]

Hey Mandel - I have succumbed to the fact that once I move to the new M based chips and Monterey, my Mk 1 will need to be retired and i will need to upgrade. Native Instruments has made clear they won’t be investing anytime into having the interface work with later mac machines on that OS and higher.

I like too sketch the whole beat in maschine and use serato sample as for timestreching and sample digging . Maschine has a great drum machine and bass synth inbuilt . It also has a scale feature for keeping everything in key and a appegio . Problem as u would have worked out is sequencing I think this year it’s going to have an update to make it a full daw . I thought you would have used it more like Phil Weeks different styles I guess

[@Demuir]

NI has some work to do on the timestretch and sequencing to make it more intuitive. Hopefully they’ll update it. Phil is on a straigh MPC. Diff workflow altogether... what matters is you doing what work for you in the most efficient way possible while getting the desired sound you want.

Awesome Video, helps out heaps!! So how would you change kits in the same song, say I use one kit for the beat but want to use another kit for the sample? would I just need to create another scene in machine?

[@Demuir]

For me, it's not necessarily about the kits, but more so on individual sound selection and what role they play. So, for example, I would focus on a snare or particular hi-hat... You can certainly load a whole kit as well, but make sure you load the sounds individually because I recall Maschine wiping out my routing settings whenever I did that. Hope this helps you.

[@Demuir]

Sorry for the delay here Luke. Yes, some kits in NI Maschine have audio loops that usually synch to the tempo of your project. In this instance, I would load the audio loop in Maschine's window and then switch the drag and drop function to audio. That way you will be draggin the audio in the project.

[@JeffyG]

Long time viewer, first time caller… I wrestle with Maschine 2 plugin versus just using the device as a generic midi device. You could just use the pads, knobs, buttons with Logic’s Drum Machine Designer and Logic’s step editor and pattern regions - by using the device in midi mode. Is there an advantage to using the Maschine 2 plugin?

[@Demuir]

I think the sounds in the Maschine VST are much better than Logic along with its’ handling of swing.

[@JeffyG]

@@Demuir Sure. I’d still be using Komplete 13/14 and it’s extensive and unique sounds, just using the Maschine device in ‘midi mode’ with Logic’s step editor, pattern regions, etc. instead of the Maschine 2 plugin.

[@BRYANGONZALEZCHANNEL]

Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial! I saw 3 other videos prior to watching yours and they all left out important steps, including a video from Native Instruments! Lol. I have been using Maschine for years, I’m a singer/songwriter and have always wanted to use Maschine in this way along with Logic so that I can sing sections as I am creating in order to inspire the productions. I knew it had the integration capabilities but in the past, I would just go back and forth between both programs, I wasn’t sure if it would help my workflow. I can see now that it will. My question now would be, after the midi has been dragged from Maschine to Logic, does that mean the rest of the production should only be added through Logic, or can/should you change parts on Maschine and then just drag the midi from Maschine again? Which is the smartest way to work once it's dragged. Do the changes you make in Maschine automatically change the midi data in Logic? I like the way Maschine lays out part of the recording process. I guess I’m just searching for the best way to produce/arrange while being able to record vocals for different sections as I go along and how to handle new parts added or changes made after you drag the midi. Not sure if I am explaining this correctly, my apologies, I am tired, it’s been a long day. Lol But anyhow, thanks again for this amazing video!!! Very informative and very helpful!!

[@pramster001]

Hey Demuir, Thanks for the tutorial, very useful. I've saved it as a template which is great. However, if I want to audition a new kit in Maschine, all of the settings I took a while to set up are gone. Do you know if there is a way to import these settings into a new kit in Maschine?

[@Demuir]

Anytime - you can save the file in the VST with those settings and load them up. To be on the safe side, I would suggest having a separate template with the kit of choice mimicking the settings.

[@dannykirsch]

Also one more question. You know in standalone mode you can sample straight into maschine? Can you do that in maschine as a vst in logic? Like you I also have the Apollo twin but can’t work out how to do it?

Greetings, great video. BUT I have a question. In Logic when you select multiple output it does all the work you did on individual tracks for you.

[@Demuir]

Thanks for watching and I’m not sure I’m following your question. Maschine provides the option of multiple outs... I select multiple out to have control of each individual pad (1 to 16) so I can program, eq, and gain stage each piece accordingly on ONE instance of the VST only.

I used your template but it won't record just using the pads, it only records in step mode...did i miss something?
