Managed to get this working for the Maschine Mikro Mk3 - thx Jef and Nico. For Mikro in the controller editor you need to select the pages tab on the right and select Pad Page H in replace of clicking group H button on full Maschine+. Other difference is control knob is not 4D so can only map start/stop and left right. Works perfectly including the ribbon.
Spectacular video Jef !!! Stop buying one specific controller for one specific DAW...The DAW (as Cubase 12 does now easily), must map, by its software, any controller .
Thanks a million for your Maschine templates Jef. I switched from Maschine Studio to mk3 and your templates saved me a lot of work... Now I just have to adapt a few MIDI remote commands to my needs. ❤️
Actually for the M32 keyboard you have to go into Komplete Kontrol and edit the template by clicking the Midi icon in the top right (M32 does not work with NI Controller Editor).
Jef and Nico. Thank you for this absolutely awesome video. I got my MASCHINE mk3 set up in the time it took me to watch this video and some play time in between... You absolutely nailed it in explaining how stuff works and what to do if it does not... Super.
Thanks Jef and Nico. Very useful as ever. Off to have a try with my old Mk 2. Great way to use the Maschine hardware instead of it standing idle and should improve workflow massively. Really appreciate your work.
Very cool solution and thx for the tipps regarding the usage of gate/"midi in" in the NI Editor (will save me hours) to Nico. It will be interesting to see whether NI will make usage of the cubase SDK for even deeper implementation of the MIDI Remote functionalities. :)
Thanks for the kind shout-outs, Jef! You squeezed a lot of information into these 37 minutes and 5 seconds! - It’s one of the (many) real refreshing differences between your videos and too many others, who stretch the video minutes to please the TH-cam gods rather than respecting the time of their viewers.
Thanks again to you my friend! Couldn’t have done this without your expertise!! And the video was twice as long before I edited out the “ums” and other unrepeatables!
I've been waiting for someone to make this MIDI map for Cubase 12 :-) Thanks for the note (and thanks to your friend Niko5!) Do you have a download link somewhere?
Thank you both for the post, I spent hours looking for that scroll command with no success. I also did not know what to do with all the pads or how to make the buttons light up correctly using that midi in drop down menu. This was a big help and Maschine makes a great controller without taking up any more desk top real estate. Next I will tackle mapping all my Fantom Aux sliders and knobs. Wish me luck.
Brilliant video, thank you Jef, thank you Nico. Just worked through setting up my Maschine mk3, next job Maschine Jam, then to try for a better result, with ALL the buttons working, with my Komplete Kontrol S61 mk2, though will have to have a look in the manual for that I think because it doesn't use the NI MIDI controller software like the Maschine and Jam do. Thank you again for all your videos, I'm learning loads from you, much appreciated.
Another thing that's good to map - though I guess you don't use it - is step note input. Having to keep clicking on the keyboard to move back and forth and change note length makes it a pain to use with just a basic midi keyboard. But if you have extra buttons you can map, it's almost as good as using maschine itself.
6:50 I just went through this exact issue setting up my DeepMind 12 because my pitchbend wheel was constantly sending MIDI without me touching it at all. Try recalibrating your controller. That's what finally fixed the issue for me. Cheers!
Thanks for the video great Job. The confirm Key command was worth watching the video in itself.. i’ve been trying to figure out that one forever for midi remote switch.
Much thanks Jeff and Nico. This is trully fantastic - no longer is my Maschine Mk3 collecting dust! I have made some small adjustments to suit my needs, and with your tips I was able to do that simply. I would like to map a button to open Izotope Tonal Balance Control which sits on my Master channel template, but I can't figure it out - if anyone has managed something like this then please let me know 🙂
This will be very handy....I setup a multi page OSC using open stage control on my fire tablet but I don't always have it in the room with me. Since the MK3 is always in front of me, I can set it up and use it like you do. Not sure why I didn't do that when I did the control for my tablet (that sucker was a lot of work with a ton of commands, mixer controls, fader controls per track, etc.)
Can you have a comprehensive control over a VST orchestra with that ? eg Iconica of some Spitfire. Maybe a dedicated video about that would be amazing !
Thank you for this helpful Video ,Jef and maybe I can also give a little hint for you and other users here. You put some Buttons on a different channel and on high notes so they wont disturb your workflow. You can set a MIDI FILTER on that MIDI CHANNEL in the Cubase settings so it will not affect anything but the Midi Remote from Cubase. I hope this is helpful. Greetings :o)
great video!!!!!! I just made the settings on my mikro, the only thing I don't understand is at the level of the rotary knob (which is different from that of the mk3), how does jef do on the video to create 2 buttons when he only has one cc on editor control that allows it to go right or left??
Man, what I'd give to have someone convert one of these templates to MK1. I should probably just let it go at this point but it's hard to let go of older gear when it still works.
Thanks, great video! I did it exactly this way. I've added several "knobpages" to mine, so that I can also control EQs, send effects, etc. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution to the problem with parameter jumps when using the machine plus knobs? Do you have a solution for this now? That would make me very happy!
The "glitch" you noticed on turning knobs could be fixed by changing the Channels or changing 'Relative' to 'Absolute'. On my Arturia Mk2 it's solved by changing Channel to Keyboard mode in Control Center.
Hi Jef, what a great video. So I am using Maschine 2 controller, and I am not getting the TOGGLE option you mention in ALL THE OTHER ONES for forward and rewind. Any ideas?
Great Video! I am thinking of getting back into Maschine as I miss it. Sold my Mk2 a while ago meaning to get the Mk3 and never did. But I am also wanting something that easily be used with a DAW. Looking whether its worth it now to get into a Maschine Plus or the new MPC one plus for beat making.
Hi, thx for video. Let me ask you, is there any video where I can see tutorial for uploading final project from MK3 to Cubase 10.5 with single trucks? Regards Vlad
Abot the Midi Remote problem with endless Rotaryencoders. I have the same issues like Jeff. If I assign the endless encoder of the maschine MK3 or Maschine plus via Midi remote, for example, the focus Quick Controls then provokes regulator jumps. It partially reminds of a midifeedback. I point out the Quick Kontrols via Legacy Track Quick and VST Quick then everything runs fine without controlling jumps. Oh in MCU mode or as a generic controler, the endless coders work fine. The problems have only been introduced and only with the new MIDI remote.
Comprehensive review and Cubase brought it with that feature! I would assign Beat Designer to the “Step” button. Have you found a set fader to zero function in Cubase?
Wow! Much thanks Jeff and Nico. I have a Maschine MK3: the left screen is the same as yours and the right screen only shows information about control and event. Can you please tell me what I need to do to make the right screen display the same information as yours?
Hi Jef, I was wondering if you have tried using Midi Remote with a Streamdeck or LoupeDeck. These streamer controllers make great DAW controllers. They both can send CC control change messages and currently work with the old Cubase generic remote, but I am not sure if the new Midi Remote would see them. BTW my Maschine and Fantom encoders are both jittery in Midi Remote.
hey first of thanks for the guide it gave great insight in what you can do with the maschina, second i was wondering. while in midi mode if you use the notes as toggle buttons does it keep playing a toggled note if you switch to another pad-page? and if you switch back to the first pad-page will the toggled note still be lit up as playing?
Hi Jef. I may have missed it but what is the equivalent for note repeat? My old Akai mpd 226 was automatically set to be able to do note repeat for 8ths, 16ths, 32nds, and triplets but I'm not sure how to do that with maschine and I didn't see that in your video (unless I missed it.) Please help, thank you!
Hi Jef, Are you going to share your script to download? Thanks! I think that there are a lot of people watching and appreciate what you do, but want to make music and not program..Thanks in advance! Ow...I heard you say at the end of the video, on the Forum! Cool!
Better late than never....I still use Maschine STUDIO....would it be possible to make a Maschine Studio script for Cubase 12? (or do you know some directions or tutorials how to make it) Thanks for your awesome videos Jef!
One Question Dose The Maschine Software Work in Cubase 12 Even Though There is Only an VST Version i Thought Cubase 12 Only Supports VST3 Now ? i Contacted Native Instruments a Day Ago and Asked When Will There Be a VST3 Version They Said They Are Working On It and They Don't Have a Release Date and Thanks For The Video
@@FRANKRICECOLD209 Steinberg still supports VST2, but within 24 month from january this year, Steinberg's host applications and plug-ins will offer VST 3 compatibility only. I belieive that all the big software vendors will have VST 3 support by that time.
One of the first things I tried after upgrading to C12 was to see if I could add some functionality to the Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2, but alas, from what I found is that while I can assign the knobs to Focus Quick Controls, the moment the instrument track is highlighted (with an instance of KK), it hogs the settings. So, even if I have a compressor on that instrument track and Cubase should switch its focus to be on the compressor when its window is active, it will only do so if I first deselect the track where the KK VST is loaded (or you get out of Plugin mode and into MIDI mode, but that kinda defeats the purpose of using the KK controller). I was hoping your video would cover KK in case I missed something so it would be great if you could do one on KK. I did however learn something in following along with you: that the NI Controller Editor seems useless for the Komplete Kontrol S Series MK2. It's best to use the MIDI icon button inside the KK VST (which is only available in standalone mode) to adjust buttons, knobs, LED colors.... I just couldnt get Controller Editor to respond to the S88 MK2, nor does it have anything for the buttons (or the touch strip located under the wheels.) I mean it doesn't even look like the MK2 series! Not sure if this is normal? Seems like so much of the functionality of the KK is "locked". For example, can't adjust the 4D at all inside KK.
Yes the midi mapping is all done with in Komplete Kontrol software, so you would set up your template with in KK first, you can add pages ect, basically everything Controller editor has. And when you want to use the Cubase functions, you just pres midi on the keyboard, then when you want to knontrol your KK plugin you just press plug in on the keyboard.
beginner / purchase question. Can I use those Midi functions also with the Cubase 12 elements version, or do I need to purchase the Artist version? Urgent - thanks
@@jefgibbons Hmmm.... So I proceeded through octaves with no success. I then closed cubase pro & reopened cubase and the project. The metering shows MIDI input but the pads in Groove Agent aren't firing. However, using the mouse, the pads on Groove Agent fire properly, and sound does come out. So, I then opened a brand new project (just in case I had something muted or a setting I wasn't aware of). In case I was confused, I should be using the "Maschine MK3" input (not the virtual), correct? (Though I have alternated between both, just in case).
Thank you Jef for this wonderful explanation. Did it and its working. But next day, i open cubase again, i can choose the script again, but no reaction. Have i to activate all again? Cannot find a solution in cubase-manual.
Sometimes i found that if i was still in edit mode on the Remote setup it would note work, just click the back arrow to come out of edit mode and it should work. Also make sure you have selected the correct template in the NI Controller Editor.
This video actually makes me want to buy cubase 12. I’ve just held off because I still use Mojave. What happens if you open the Maschine plug-in while using this in cubase? Does it override the controller function?
Hey Jef. Great video as always. Really keen to bring this into my set up. The only thing is I'm not seeing a Maschine mk3 virtual option in my MIDI ports, just INT MIDI and EXT MIDI. Help!
May I ask if you are making a full-time living from TH-cam? I want to pursue a TH-cam career but am feeling discouraged from starting lol. Can it be done from just doing "beat making videos"?
You can get there! I still teach part time… it’s not enough to live on yet… and it’s taken 1 video a week for 3.5 years!!! Heck of a commitment… but it’s highly rewarding!!
For anyone that's on Cubase 13 now. Steinberg actually added "blind buttons" so you don't need to assign dummy buttons. You can just select a blind button and add it.
Honestly Jeff love your work and help but if you made all the maschine scripts and charged something lik 15-20$ i think it would be better for your channel
Dude you literally saved me from throwing my Maschine Studio away because I could never get it to work properly with Cubase (outside using the Maschine software itself). Now my editing process is how I always dreamed it would be (except for the jog wheel not being able to scroll the cursor around).
Hello. Something I haven't understood is if Midi remote is going to be able to talk back to the controller to report the actual position of some knob in the VSTi so the rotary encoder doesn't make the parameter to jump as soon as you touch it?
Absolutely amazing video. Cubase and NI should both link to this on their pages. Essential for all Mashine owners. One question: Did your or Nico ever figure out how to use the shift as a modifier to double up the functionality of any of the buttons?
@@jefgibbons Very true! I found a way to emulate the shift behavior using pages. After completely setting up my main page, in Cubase, I clicked the cog just above the "Mappings" heading and clicked "Duplicate page". I then renamed it "Shift". On the main page (default), I mapped the button right above "Shift" (on the Maschine Mikro Mk3 that's "Follow Grid") to "Mapping Page Actions -> Next Mapping Page". On the "Shift" mapping page, I mapped that button to "Mapping Page Actions -> Previous Mapping Page". Then I changed the any of the mappings on the "Shift" page to their alternate behavior. Drawbacks: it acts more like a toggle than a true shift key (kinda like CapsLock) and that command does not send MIDI to set the button to being lit, so I can't replicate the behavior we get on solo, mute, play, etc. I have to find a way to indicate that "shift" is on....
@@kenvives Wow. This is cool. I'm on the AKAI MPC Studio 2 but this helped. Now I just need a way to map 12 pads to play 12 notes and have some go an octave, and I'll be all set. Do you have an idea on how to map the drum pads to play 12 semitones?
Endlich mal eine richtig gute Umsetzung. Native Instruments müsste einfach mit einer DAW, ob Ableton, Cubase oder Logic zusammenarbeiten. Die Maschine Software ist dagegen echt nur kompliziert und aufwendig. Danke für das Video!
Thanks for a great video! However I can't get my Maschine MK3 to work at all in Cubase 12.0.70 Pro. It seems to have to do with the MIDI ports. I created my own surface and set both in and out to "Maschine MK3 Ctrl MIDI" and assign e.g. the rotary knobs then it works. However in your script the input is set to "Maschine MK3 EXT MIDI". I can't find a way to change this....can it be done? Thanks!
Hey Sam! I've been wracking my brain trying to sort that one out... there's no scale mode via Maschine so it would have to be a way to make a chromatic scale=a major or minor scale... not sure if that's possible!
This is great Jef. I have always wanted something like this on Cubase as I use ReaLearn (allows for really advanced customisation) or DrivenByMoss (all pre set up for you, so even easier) on Reaper that allows you to do the same thing. This will give me the push to install Cubase 12!
Thanks for the great video! It really was super helpful! I've got a question for you... Do you have any idea of how one could map an actual key on the keyboard to a MIDI controller? It's super straight-forward for mapping key-commands and certain transport controls but I can't for the life of me, figure out how to map a key. I'd like to set the "Command" "Option" "shift" and "Control" Keys to buttons on my controller so I can use the "hold down" functions without always needing to reach for my keyboard. I've asked in the forums but no one seems to know how to do it. Thanks again for the awesome content!
Managed to get this working for the Maschine Mikro Mk3 - thx Jef and Nico. For Mikro in the controller editor you need to select the pages tab on the right and select Pad Page H in replace of clicking group H button on full Maschine+. Other difference is control knob is not 4D so can only map start/stop and left right. Works perfectly including the ribbon.

Great video for all cubase users and applies to loads of other devices other than Machine
Very cool solution and thx for the tipps regarding the usage of gate/"midi in" in the NI Editor (will save me hours) to Nico. It will be interesting to see whether NI will make usage of the cubase SDK for even deeper implementation of the MIDI Remote functionalities. :)
Hopefully! Thanks for commenting Joerg!

(Though I have alternated between both, just in case).
Great 👍👍 Thank you ; very helpful .🚦🚥🚥🚥🚥🚦🎚🎚🟩🟩🟩🟩 Andrew 👍
Great Video Jeff. For the NI M32 do i start with the Komplete Kontrol M Daw Midi or Komplete Kontrol M32 Midi driver?
Hey Jef, love your videos! I also like the stand that you have! What color stain is that? Thanks!
The one for the Maschie Mk3!
Is this going to work with Cubase 10.5?
No, it’s a new feature unfortunately
Thank you Jef for this wonderful explanation. Did it and its working. But next day, i open cubase again, i can choose the script again, but no reaction. Have i to activate all again? Cannot find a solution in cubase-manual.
So strange, it’s definitely plugged in? (Maschine)
Sometimes i found that if i was still in edit mode on the Remote setup it would note work, just click the back arrow to come out of edit mode and it should work. Also make sure you have selected the correct template in the NI Controller Editor.
What a great video, thank you very much! Is there a way to do something similar with Ableton Live?
Yes there is, using this: th-cam.com/video/VOddX46Vtaw/w-d-xo.html
The midi remote does not work with my M Audio AXIOM 61 controller ive tried everything and it DOES NOT WORK
We need Cubase 12 and Push 2 please! Push 2 with the lights of course )
Coming!!! Not this week unfortunately…
@@jefgibbons amazing!! Can't wait!
This video actually makes me want to buy cubase 12. I’ve just held off because I still use Mojave. What happens if you open the Maschine plug-in while using this in cubase? Does it override the controller function?
No, you can just switch back and forth with shift-channel!
Hey Jef. Great video as always. Really keen to bring this into my set up. The only thing is I'm not seeing a Maschine mk3 virtual option in my MIDI ports, just INT MIDI and EXT MIDI. Help!
Have same problem here, don't know why
I have the same issue. Is there already an answer for this?
Hello. Cubase Pro 12 saved project files open up in Cubase Pro 11. What can I do? I am using Windows Thank you
On a Mac we have to right click the project file and choose “open in Cubase 12” not sure about pc!
Hello my man, thanks for this awesome content, quick question, are you having issues with 12.0.10 update? like performance Asio Guard peaks? cheers
I haven’t updated yet, is that a common prob?
@@jefgibbons Not Sure, i went back to 12.0.0 and now its acting normal, meaning "Cubase normal"
ohhhh grate
Does this work with Maschine Studio as well?
I don't have one but yes, I'm 99% sure that'll work!
Hi! Did you get any luck? Please can you share your template if you made it for the Studio? i think it takes a *.ncc file Thanks!
Casio😳😲
I have a huge collection…
May I ask if you are making a full-time living from TH-cam? I want to pursue a TH-cam career but am feeling discouraged from starting lol. Can it be done from just doing "beat making videos"?
You can get there! I still teach part time… it’s not enough to live on yet… and it’s taken 1 video a week for 3.5 years!!! Heck of a commitment… but it’s highly rewarding!!
For anyone that's on Cubase 13 now. Steinberg actually added "blind buttons" so you don't need to assign dummy buttons. You can just select a blind button and add it.
Damn, looks like I gotta upgrade after all...
@@magicmulder yea its great
Honestly Jeff love your work and help but if you made all the maschine scripts and charged something lik 15-20$ i think it would be better for your channel
Thanks Jeff and Nico! This is so useful you could charge for this template. Appreciate it!
Dude you literally saved me from throwing my Maschine Studio away because I could never get it to work properly with Cubase (outside using the Maschine software itself).
Now my editing process is how I always dreamed it would be (except for the jog wheel not being able to scroll the cursor around).
Thank you Sir ! so can I use this for Maschine mikro mk3, Good advice peace.
Sensational ✌️
Can anyone tell me the what amendments need to be made to have these templates work on maschine studo?
Thaw again
Did you get any luck? Can you share your template if you made it for the Studio? i think it takes a *.ncc file Thanks!
@@waynejovis I went and sold the machine studio and brought the mk3
Hello. Something I haven't understood is if Midi remote is going to be able to talk back to the controller to report the actual position of some knob in the VSTi so the rotary encoder doesn't make the parameter to jump as soon as you touch it?
Absolutely amazing video. Cubase and NI should both link to this on their pages. Essential for all Mashine owners.
One question: Did your or Nico ever figure out how to use the shift as a modifier to double up the functionality of any of the buttons?
Thanks!! The shift button doesn’t register at all so it won’t work here…
@@jefgibbons Very true! I found a way to emulate the shift behavior using pages. After completely setting up my main page, in Cubase, I clicked the cog just above the "Mappings" heading and clicked "Duplicate page". I then renamed it "Shift". On the main page (default), I mapped the button right above "Shift" (on the Maschine Mikro Mk3 that's "Follow Grid") to "Mapping Page Actions -> Next Mapping Page". On the "Shift" mapping page, I mapped that button to "Mapping Page Actions -> Previous Mapping Page". Then I changed the any of the mappings on the "Shift" page to their alternate behavior. Drawbacks: it acts more like a toggle than a true shift key (kinda like CapsLock) and that command does not send MIDI to set the button to being lit, so I can't replicate the behavior we get on solo, mute, play, etc. I have to find a way to indicate that "shift" is on....
@@kenvives Wow. This is cool. I'm on the AKAI MPC Studio 2 but this helped. Now I just need a way to map 12 pads to play 12 notes and have some go an octave, and I'll be all set. Do you have an idea on how to map the drum pads to play 12 semitones?
Endlich mal eine richtig gute Umsetzung. Native Instruments müsste einfach mit einer DAW, ob Ableton, Cubase oder Logic zusammenarbeiten. Die Maschine Software ist dagegen echt nur kompliziert und aufwendig. Danke für das Video!
Thanks for a great video! However I can't get my Maschine MK3 to work at all in Cubase 12.0.70 Pro. It seems to have to do with the MIDI ports. I created my own surface and set both in and out to "Maschine MK3 Ctrl MIDI" and assign e.g. the rotary knobs then it works. However in your script the input is set to "Maschine MK3 EXT MIDI". I can't find a way to change this....can it be done? Thanks!
Update 2023: "nudge cursor left/right" doesn't work well and does not follow with adapt to zoom. It moves, but only strange imprecise amounts.
do you know if its possible to map out like this on UA LUNA also, how do now what midi cc to use for the faders?
Hey i know you super busy. But how did you get the Maschine Virtual midi. I have a mk 3
absolute lifesaver video - thanks to you and nico5!
Hi: Can you do this with Logic and Machine? Could you do a video for that too? Please!
Very cool indeed. What about mapping the pads to the keyboard and can you select scales in Cubase that translate to Maschine pads.
Hey Sam! I've been wracking my brain trying to sort that one out... there's no scale mode via Maschine so it would have to be a way to make a chromatic scale=a major or minor scale... not sure if that's possible!
This is great Jef. I have always wanted something like this on Cubase as I use ReaLearn (allows for really advanced customisation) or DrivenByMoss (all pre set up for you, so even easier) on Reaper that allows you to do the same thing. This will give me the push to install Cubase 12!
Nice! Thanks Mark!
Thanks for the great video! It really was super helpful! I've got a question for you... Do you have any idea of how one could map an actual key on the keyboard to a MIDI controller? It's super straight-forward for mapping key-commands and certain transport controls but I can't for the life of me, figure out how to map a key. I'd like to set the "Command" "Option" "shift" and "Control" Keys to buttons on my controller so I can use the "hold down" functions without always needing to reach for my keyboard. I've asked in the forums but no one seems to know how to do it. Thanks again for the awesome content!
Thanks a lot !
You made me a very happy man !
