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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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!
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 🤷♂
@@D-One - no way man, thank YOU! Also did you ever do that template video? I'm going to be crossgrading to Cubase this weekend since Logic can't do this (AUv2 won't send MIDI, M2 isn't AUv3 yet), and I am hoping to have it all setup and templates created on Saturday so I can finish some damn music already. :D
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!
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.
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!
thank alot bro.. man this video really got me up and running . Thx for sharing and please dont take this vid down.lol I still gotta come back to it for reference until its in memory.lol
Hi Jason. No problem, glad i could help. Don't worry it will be up for ever. :) If you need references you can also check the forum post, it has a bit more detail. Link in the description.
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.
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.
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
Dope video, you could just get komplete kontrol and put a whole bunch of instances on cubase drums, keys, bass, whatever else you want that way your already ready for your final arrangements after recording all your parts. But maschine does give less of a linear feel with the ideas view for some creativity. Just thought I would mention komplete kontrol comes in handy.
Hello. Thanks! :) I have a KK-S mk2 but not everyone does... This tutorial is aimed for Maschine users that want to sequence and mix in Cubase without converting everything to Audio.
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.
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.
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!
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"
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
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.
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 ?
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?
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.
SUCH A DOPE VIDEO! I noticed on your updated illustration the drum sounds midi input source says "default" but you set the keys and base input source to "host" Is that because you were using Kontact or something? Not really sure of the difference..
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!
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.
Thank you for this tutorial. It is very clear and thorough. Just one question: is it possible to have Maschine do it's own thing inside this template? For instance: while in this template I press record on the Maschine hardware does only Maschine go into record, so I can lay down a beat untiI I am satisfied without the Cubase cursor running down the timeline? Hope my question makes sense.
Maschine's record button will always record to Maschine only but the cursor/playhead is always synced, there no way to un-sync it. You can make the play/stop maschine buttons to control Cubase using "Controller Editor" "Host Control Option"
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?
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)
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
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.
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?
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.
That is what I needed! Thank you very much for this video! Unfortunately I have the same problem as Ruidos Rados. I have watched your tutorial several times and I am sure I didn´t miss anything. Everything works like in your tutorial but if have recorded some sounds from Maschine in Cubase, I can not listen to them afterwards (even I can see the recorded notes). If I drag and drop some midi from Maschine into Cubase, this problem does not appear, everything works and I can listen to it. Please help, otherwise I have to jump out of the window ;-)

Thanks, D-One! This has moved my SONAR/Maschine workflow from 20% to 90% efficiency!
This is a must watch for ALL Maschine beginners.
Thanks for commenting John :)
Great delivery. Nicely paced, well annotated and edited. Thanks for taking the time to explain this to peeps.
Thanks so much 🙌🏼🙌🏼
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.
Thanks bro ! One of the best FREE tutorials I have seen for cubase/Maschine integration - and I have seen a lot
Thank you very much Savadious!
When I go to group/input/Midi it looks nothing like that, only routings-option which is "Off" what am I doing wrong?
I just recently set this up with my Maschine Mikro and cubase 12. Its a game changer !! Thanks for the great work :)
You did a very good thing making this video. Thank you.

No problem. Yeah, that way you can just pause the video if needed and take your time changing the settings. :)
Dopeee bro. Im running out and buying Maschine thanks to your vid. I see its easy to integrate it, thanks.
This is like the best tutorial there is for maschine / cubase
Nice tutorial brother! Well done, very informative and well explained how to get going this beast in cubase.
Thanks so much Rafael! 🙏🏽
Finally! I was searching something like this for ages!
Glad I could help! :D 🙏🏽
Just bought a Maschine this weekend. This video cleared up all my routing questions. Great job!
Thanks! 😃
yeah youve the most detailed and understandable video yet cuzzn im new to cubase thanks famo
Thank you!!! finaly I can use my maschine creatively.
Even though I don't hear English well.This is enough to understand.

great tutorial!!!! i´m really looking forward to the template-tutorial!
Thanks Andreas! 😁It should be done with it next week, i am out of town for the moment.
could you post a link to the template when its done? thx man!
Dope video, you could just get komplete kontrol and put a whole bunch of instances on cubase drums, keys, bass, whatever else you want that way your already ready for your final arrangements after recording all your parts.
