Thanks bro ! One of the best FREE tutorials I have seen for cubase/Maschine integration - and I have seen a lot

[@D-One]

Thank you very much Savadious!

[@teerikangas]

When I go to group/input/Midi it looks nothing like that, only routings-option which is "Off" what am I doing wrong?

[@BackboneNF]

Very good Video for CUbase Maschine Users! You can drag and drop into one midi part. Just go into cubase preferences under midi import and do import to one part the you don´t have all the other midi channels created.

[@D-One]

Oh, i see. thanks for the info! 👍🏽

[@BackboneNF]

No problem, I have posted your tutorial in a german forum too hope this is ok for you ;-) .

[@D-One]

Of course, thanks for that!

[@StefanoPettinelli]

Very useful video, great stuff man! I did this before when I got Micro MK2 a couple of years ago. Now I got MK3 and while reading the manual, I was having a look back again at tutorials too, just to refresh my mind. I stopped here to this new tutorial that impressed me 'cause this is exactly the kind of integration I did and my way to use it, with the only difference that I use 2 instances of Maschine, one with a single group as a drum machine and one with multiple groups as a sampler. in order to achieve 16 separate outs for the drums and the same for the sampler. So I ask to you, one thing that I've never been able to do: with this setup, if for some reason I create a new group and want to record something but INSIDE the Maschine's sequencer, what happens is that as I press record on Maschine's hardware, it records everything coming in, and automatically changing groups focus. Is there someway to avoid this? Have you never tried this? Thanks in advance for your attention and for your good input to the Maschine community :) Peace!

[@jbrown3318]

Thanks, D-One! This has moved my SONAR/Maschine workflow from 20% to 90% efficiency!

[@djnaydee]

Dopeee bro. Im running out and buying Maschine thanks to your vid. I see its easy to integrate it, thanks.

[@mlady4783]

Excellent tutorial. I haven't been searching for this info for a long time. Thank you!!!

[@B2svn465]

Hey D thanks for this cubase/maschine tutorial. Im having a hell of a time setting this up for some reason. I would love to know how you have all drums record on seperate midi tracks as i use maschine mostly for drums in cubase. Any help would be very much appreciated.

[@D-One]

It's all there in the video... you can go to the official NI forum where i also posted this tutorial in written form, maybe its easier for you to follow, i can also answer questions there a lot easier than on youtube. The link is on the description.

[@FilipPopow]

Great!Thanks! Very good idea to leave those pictures of routing it's very helpful!

[@D-One]

No problem. Yeah, that way you can just pause the video if needed and take your time changing the settings. :)

[@sleudianfrip]

Great delivery. Nicely paced, well annotated and edited. Thanks for taking the time to explain this to peeps.

[@D-One]

Thanks so much 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@SamSilk]

Hey, just a quick word to thank you, I have developed a template based on your explanations to get Cubase to work with Maschine and Elgato's Stream Deck. The upgrade in terms of workflow ease and speed is just insane. I use the Stream Deck to call track archives and launch packs of VSTi tracks with just the push of a button. For those who don't know, the drag & drom MIDI exchange between Cubase and Maschine can be puzzling if you don't set Cubase to import MIDI files as a single track in your preferences.

[@billmcnelis5999]

You did a very good thing making this video. Thank you. I'm very very irritated however that NI still hasn't, in the two years since, updated Maschine with at least a template to do all this. If we can all go in and do this stuff, and they definitely know that people want to run Maschine this way in their DAW, why the f**k didn't they just have their programmers do all this stuff, and in Preferences have "Cubase Integration Setting"? It would literally have taken them 15 minutes, as your video illustrates. The part that really infuriates me is that if you use a general midi controller to record a Maschine track in Cubase, it *just works*. None of those steps from the video, no routing, no nothing - it just works. Which again, means NI could have set up the Maschine controller the same way. Completely insane.

[@Dopplgngrr]

Thanks for this awesome tutorial, D-One. Q: Did anyone manage to get this 100% working with #Bitwig DAW? All is fine on my Mac (Bitwig 2.2, Maschine 2.7) but the Maschine to Bitwig MIDI routing for live recording in DAW is not working - just DAW to Maschine.

[@ThomasVogtFreiburg]

Thanks for the project files and the great tutorial ! Really helpful !

[@charlesmccullough7149]

I have watched dozens of Maschine integration videos for Live, LPX and this is the first one to make real sense. Most are just concerned with drums. Great job! Thanks so much.

[@johnceccon]

This is a must watch for ALL Maschine beginners.

[@D-One]

Thanks for commenting John :)

[@LytosOfficial]

I'm having a problem with my maschine Studio. When I change Destination to "host" and in Cubase I change All Midi Inputs to Maschine - Out I can record and hear it well when it's already recorded BUT when I play with Maschine it sounds DOUBLE. Weird thing is, if I change to All Midi Inputs and I play it with the keyboard, it does sound normal and it records. I don't really know what to do... but this is driving me nuts!

[@D-One]

When using this method recording to Maschine-VST is not a viable option anymore, you have to record to the MIDI track on the DAW... If you're transferring the MIDI to the DAW to arrange there's no reason to record to Maschine. If you ant to keep MIDI in Maschine-VST then theres no need to MIDI route and have this trouble, just route the audio.

[@exp01258]

Thank you!!! finaly I can use my maschine creatively. Even though I don't hear English well.This is enough to understand.

[@D-One]

Ahaha. Glad I could help out! :)

i have watched loads of tutorials on ths and YOURS is the best and easiest to understand. Thank you so much, recently bought maschine mk3 and getting nowhere with it, until NOW!!! THANKS MAN, GREAT JOB!!

[@kallekovacs]

Wonderful tutorial! Quick question - is there a way to do this the other way around? If you have a finished Cubase project - could you then go into Maschine and make a more interactive and live friendly version? Thanks!

[@feiloubeats]

This worked for me thank you! But one question, retrospective recording in Cubase doesn’t when I use Maschine as midi input. Has anyone noticed that?

[@leesnelson7094]

I just recently set this up with my Maschine Mikro and cubase 12. Its a game changer !! Thanks for the great work :)

[@mkay2005]

Thx thx thx................this is perfeckt workflow (sooooooooo lang) for a realy good intutitiv producing!!!Greatings from germany to Dr. Maschine :) for the controll editor i whish me good or usefull ideas i don´t know wich way i can with this application,if u need a idear for more tut videos

[@SamSilk]

Maybe you've already figured it out but at 10:55 you can get rid of this annoying behaviour in Cubase preferences MIDI/MIDI File , "Import" pannel you just check the box "import dropped files as single part"

[@D-One]

Yeah someone on the NI forum already told me that, a lifesaver!

[@Harrysound]

Ha I haven’t seen the part in the video yet but I know exactly what your talking about

[@einfachbjoern]

I can't click on my maschine stop / play / record buttons to start / stop / recording in Cubase. Why???

[@avefuqua]

There should be a "Machine channel" per default in cubase. But as this is not candy land _ thx a very lot !!!

[@FelipeAyres]

Hi my friend! Thanks for the video! when you multi out put on maschine, you lose all the FX from the group chain, right? Is there a way to overcome this? I feel I lost a a huge ammount of good processing on those kits when multi outputing and I don't know if I just need to replace this FX chain inside cubase or really start from scratch each piece from the kit. Thanks!

[@D-One]

Yes. Outputting the Pad/Sounds bypasses Group and Master FX. The lib/expansions usually have simple Group FX like Limiters or Maximizers, it's easy to make a bus/broup on the DAW and replicate it with stock Cubase plugs.

[@zow7604]

i can't see Maschine in add instr. in cubase i have 11 now cubase12 ?????? HELP

[@bobbiejohnson4607]

Great tutorial! Keep up the Great work! I just liked and Subscribed!

[@ptrkenny]

Thanks. Really helpful. Thanks for taking the time.

[@HiredGoonage]

man Maschine with a DAW is confusing as hell

[@D-One]

This is the most complicated it can get and not recommended for beginners. You can just route audio channels or use audio drag and drop from Maschine for example.

[@wernaldoproductions1215]

Great video!! Thank you! Did you do the follow up with the template? I am unable to find it.

[@gerhardbinkele3753]

And now you can use the drum editor for the drum tracks in cubase. Just select a drum map in the inspector like shown in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2fCc6ufqc91rqs

[@jclark521]

Fantastic Video! Very helpful

[@MegaGrandRoyal]

I can't get Maschine to pop up it's not On the blacklist I've added them but when I add an instrument track the Native Instruments tab Pops up with a plus sign but nothing that's all

[@Rafael_Paul]

Nice tutorial brother! Well done, very informative and well explained how to get going this beast in cubase.

[@D-One]

Thanks so much Rafael! 🙏🏽

[@indyartmusic1142]

i have followed this tutorial to the letter and done every setting the same BUT i still CANNOT RECORD IN CUBASE!!!!!! WHY????????????

[@D-One]

It could be a million things, impossible to guess or help you thru a youtube comment section... I suggest you click the NI official forum link in the description, on a forum i can help you, you can send me your project and i'll look for errors if you want.

[@royshakked]

Thank you for this. Fantastic tutorial! Did you ever get to making a video about templates as you stated you were going to do? Trying to get it so every time I turn Maschine on, it's ready to go with Cubase. Thanks again.

[@D-One]

Hello :) While attempting to make a template with no sounds so they can added later I realized it makes very hard to explain and test in a video so the viewer can be sure its working if there are no sounds.... So im trying to figure out a way of doing it that wont confuse users who arent used to routing MIDI. Im also considering to just make a bunch of different templates for several scenarios that people can just download and modify.

[@royshakked]

Thanks man. I've been told Cubase 9 makes the integration easier (I'm still on 8). Do you know if that's true?

[@realraven2000]

Nice one - I am thinking of getting a Maschine Studio as my fiurst "drum controller" beenm doing Cubase for 15 years now. I currently have a Nektar panorama P1 but it's not that handy for mixing. Can you map the transport controls onto the Maschine interface?

[@D-One]

Hello. Yeah, the Studio is able to control transport on Cubase, by default you have: Play, Stop, Loop On/off, rewind and fast-forward, the record button will still control Maschine Software but you can remap a button to enable record, also fully switch the unit to MIDI Mode. In MIDI mode there are templates to fully control the mixer and many other things (MCU). Just be aware that if you buy Maschine Studio to have it work as a drum instrument like Battery in DAW only you will be missing on most of what it can do. If you're ok with that it can be a good investment.

[@eunacehuntley2776]

yeah youve the most detailed and understandable video yet cuzzn im new to cubase thanks famo

[@rahl1233]

Really helpful video man.. thanks 🙏

[@Moove_Studio]

The midi routing settings for Maschine are not available for me, the buttons are simply missing? What am I doing wrong?

[@D-One]

What? It cant be, double check. monosnap.com/file/rIl91G2pQANmOqgabz2QtNlHlLVxUu What controller unit do you have?

[@thesoundpainterbkny3465]

This is really making Ableton and Push 2 Look so much more desirable. Bye Bye Native Instrument!!!! This is just to much work! Ridiculous!!!!

[@D-One]

That makes sense for someone willing to change to Ableton or already using it. Push is a dedicated controller so nothing can beat it for ease of use and advanced control. For a Cubase user not interested in switching his DAW, a Push won't even work afaik, so there's that... Wish you the best and thanks for commenting! 👊🏼

[@SamSilk]

Also I wanted to ask what's the purpose of the "drumkit" mode for the Group MIDI input. I was under the impression it does exactly what you show here for your first group in a single click except it's pretty much useless as soon as you have at least another group because when in drumkit mode the group receives MIDI on all channels indifferetnly. Am I right?

[@D-One]

Hi Sam. Yeah, basically. Drumkit mode is mainly for the Komplete Kontrol Keyboards, it can work for some other situations but it has no MIDI channel selection so if you set it in a DAW there's no way separate things... It also has no Group transpose so you're stuck with the way Maschine maps it's pads (starts on C1 while most DAW start on C3)

[@yazanballan11]

you are the best man .. thank yoi very much ❤🎶🎹

Hi Erazm. When you install Maschine software thru Native Access the VST version is auto-installed in your default plugins folder. Is the .dll there?

[@Wolfie99]

Thanks Bro

[@ctatrains]

I'm late to the Maschine party but this is one excellent tutorial!

[@francisarnold5566]

Hey, I tried it with your project but unfortunately it doesn´t work really. Ok, if i record something new via your KEYS 1 and KEYS 2, it works, but for the BASS not. It records the midi notes but you can´t hear it afterwards. If I copy/ paste the recorded midi notes from the BASS to KEYS 1 or 2, there it works. It´s hard ;-)

[@D-One]

Hi. My fault, on the Bass SOUND - MIDI input source I forgot to set "Host", make that small change and it will work. Sorry for the mistake, i will update the file. image.prntscr.com/image/BgsAcOxqTreSqfWBiW5dTg.png

[@FRANKRICECOLD209]

Thanks Man Big Question it has Changed in Newer Cubase like 9.5 and the this Way You Set Up in Maschine 2 mk3 i Got it to Set Up and Work With One Shot Drum Samples BUT i Cant Figuer Out How To Get Chopped Samples to Translate to midi Notes i Need every individual Chop to Have its own Midi Note and it is Not Working Man if you can help That Would Be Awesome Thanks For the video

[@D-One]

Thats what the whole tutorial is teaching, did you follow all the steps?

[@johnb2602]

Thank you D-One. There are a load of videos claiming to explain this, but yours seems to be the clearest. Having said that, there is no excuse for NI to not make a simple drag and drop feature from Maschine to DAW - at the moment it's needlessly long-winded, tiresome and old fashioned - and I'm saying this five years after you uploaded the video and yet they STILL haven't done it!

[@D-One]

No prob, thanks! Well, they cant guess how you want things configured so it can't really be automatic, unless 'options' are removed and you forced to stick with whatever workflow NI thinks is best 🤷‍♂

[@thesoundpainterbkny3465]

Thank you! Subscribed!!! This is to complicated!!!! When are they going to make this easier!!

[@D-One]

No problem! :) Probably never, inserting a complex sequencer inside a DAW will always require routing, its almost like putting a mini-DAW inside the DAW. This is the most complicated it can get and not recommended for beginners. You can just route audio channels or use audio drag and drop from Maschine for example, that's what most people do.

[@ant4dna]

Great Tut. What I would love to do is set 16 MIDI tracks in Cubase that correspond to the 16 pads in a regular group. I wish to record onto Cubase tracks while hitting the maschine pads and the midi recording onto each cubase MIDI channel at once. Is this possible? So basically it's turning each Cubase midi channel into a corresponding pad in Maschine. If I multi-select each Cubase MIDI channel and record MIDI, I can do multi MIDI recording no?

[@D-One]

Yeah. Just set each pad to output to a MIDi channel corresponding to a DAW MIDI track, then enable Record on all those MIDI tracks.. Should be easy based on this tutorial. If you need help you can reach me on the official NI forum, I am a mod there. It's kind of hard to help in YT comments.

[@CharlesK441]

Thanks for this just what I needed. I am have problems with recoding and playing back within Cubase. Some of the pads are triggering 2 sample when I record, then when I play back those pads (samples) are not playing. It seems although I have the start note at c3, it's actually place a different note in cubase. Can anyone help?

[@D-One]

Helping you thru a comment section is gonna be hard. If you want I can take a look at your project and spot where you messed up, I am a mod in the NI forum and easy to find, link in the description.

[@its1amsomewhere]

Seems like a lot to set up lol 😬

[@D-One]

Well... Yeah. This is as complicated as it can get tho, you can just route the Audio channels to keep it simple, or use the Audio drag-and-drop button, that's what most people do.

[@Atron2005]

Help me again me pls :) When I'm in browse mode (browse button on) and load a sample into a pad, (Maschine Studio) no midi signal came out when I tap the pads and cannot record nothing. When exiting browse mode (browse button off) I have midi signal and can record sounds and instruments. In other video I saw this is not happen. What is wrong with my settings ? I have maschine 2.7.8 R540. Thanks !

[@D-One]

Hi. Nothing wrong with your settings, that's expected behavior, you have to exit the hardware browser to be able to record. Maybe it was possible before, but right now it isn't. :S

[@Atron2005]

Ok thanks.

[@ChasetheDay]

This works brilliantly, except all midi I record into the Cubase sequencer (using Maschine to play the part) is stuck at 127 velocity. Is it possible to record midi into the Cubase sequencer but with variable velocities?

[@lcceo22]

Yoooo how do you show the track at the very top in cubase?

Thank you for this very detailed and complete video, showing the powerful possibilities of using Maschine with Cubase ! When I create separate outputs, I have the same bug as in the video at 8'34 : when I rename the first output track, the instrument track takes automatically the same name, and vice versa. Someone knows how to fix this annoying problem ?

[@GotBettaBeats]

very helful, but for some reason i can't get it to work

Hi please help me. At the very beginning when you select maschine from the drop down instrument menu ,when I do this maschine does not appear ? I’ve re installed everything through the native instruments app and it just won’t appear. It won’t give me the option to select it as an instrument track please help thanks

[@D-One]

Go thru the typical steps of debugging why the plugin does not show up: Check your Plugins path folder, see if it is there where it should be. Check if Cubase is not blacklisting the plugin. Manually delete the Maschine VST and reinstall. if all fails ask in the NI forum or google it.

[@Pelimuistelot]

Excellent. I'm about to have my maschine in couple of days and this is sure helpful.

I can’t imagine why anyone would do this instead of just exporting stems from Maschine and working with those in Cubase?

[@DannyCaruzo]

thank you so much for the tutorial . But one thing I do not understand, you have all the drums in a midi track. How can you mix the drums individually ? Assuming I want to have a compressor only on the kick, then the other sound is directly addressed. Also, it would be very good if I could render the individual drum sounds from the midi track as individual audio tracks, is that possible?

[@D-One]

No prob. It's shown at 8:25 in the Audio Routing section of the video. Hum... Never tried to record the Audio directly, for that you might need a BUS/Return track, not sure to be honest as I gave up on using Cubase.

[@DannyCaruzo]

@@D-One Okay, great, thank you. I still have one question, how does the whole thing work with hihat rolls? Because I can't move the hihat up and down on the midi track in Cubase because that would mean that I would hit a different sound.

My issue is, when my maschine studio controller will only control my second instance of maschine. I'm not sure how to switch the controller functions back to the first instance of maschine.

[@D-One]

Hi Danny. From the controller: 1. Press SHIFT+ PLUG-IN. 2. Turn the jog wheel to select the desired instance. 3. Press Button 4 to load that instance. From the Software, all you need is to click the controller icon at the top bar next to the master volume.

@@D-One awesome! Thank you!

[@marianmusic7221]

@D-One You do not need to get through all that hassle, to previously record midi in Maschine software, then to drag the midi data from Maschine software into Cubase. You can directly record your midi into Cubase, or if you want to record in Maschine software and later to transfer the midi data to cubase, you can hit record in Cubase, and the midi data stored in Maschine software will get recorded into Cubase automatically, without needing to drag and drop and creating all those useless tracks. And the best part of this technic is that you can use the "Step" sequencer (Maschine MK3) and add beats on the fly to the already existingtracks in Cubase. Here is the video you need to watch to learn how kzbin.info/www/bejne/gInFl2poqNWGgbs

[@D-One]

It's pretty much the same thing only more incomplete, still 14min VS 13min guide... His solution of using a VSTi in both Maschine and Cubase (massive part) is weird to me, if you use a few instruments doubling them all seems inefficient especially CPU-wise. But if it works for you then great! :) I can use Step Sequencing or anything else in Maschine just fine too.

[@marianmusic7221]

@@D-One I was looking for that specific technique explained in the first 3 quarters of that video! Forget about the double instance of Maschine software at the end. He could use more groups in the first instance instead. I did not compared your video to his. I do not care about youtube competition and those kind of things!!! I wrote that message to you just because I thought you would find it useful and it would help you become faster (your technique seemed a lenghty workaround). Cheers!

Question? Where is the second video? Creating a cubase/maschine template please? Can't find it? Thanks!

I recorded it multiple times but was never satisfied, so never released it. I think I found an easy way to do/explain it and might release a vid next week.
