The button below it is PATTERN and that CC assignment should be CC 113. the default assignment shows SCENE is CC 112 (usually). Now, see the column of buttons that go from "SCENE" down to "MUTE", directly to the left of the pads? We're going to use these 8 buttons to select tracks in Reaper, via MIDI, that match Maschine's groups. Set the following pads chromatically in Group A to the following MIDI notes:ġ. This is the only group you will use, as you will use other buttons on the Maschine hardware to select your groups (magically, with Reaper!)ģ. You may have to go to the "Pad Pages" section of the Control Editor software, and enable Group A. Set the Pad Velocity Curve to Soft 3 in the Template section of the Control Editor software (Soft 3 is the closest sensitivity to "Maschine Mode" (it's REALLY close. Rename it to "Maschine in Reaper" or whatever you want.ġa. Open up the Controller Editor software, and pick a template to use. STEPS for Maschine's "Controller Editor" softwareįirst, set the controller sensitivity to Maximum in Maschine's File menu.ġ. Now we have to do a lot of crap in Maschine's "Controller Editor" software. It IS changing the midi channel for each group. *Maschine looks like it's doing a global thing with the channels (showing the last channel number you selected, even though you're on a different group). Once this is done, right-click the Group name directly to the left of your Scene view, and choose "Sound MIDI Batch Setup." Select "Sounds To Midi Notes".įor Group A (Channel 1), choose Channel 1.įor Group B (Channel 2), choose Channel 2. This is easily done by first dropping a sample (any wav file) onto a single pad in each Group (so the group is active/highlighted). Set Maschine to route each Group to a certain MIDI channel. Set track 1's MIDI input (in Reaper) to "Map Input To Channel" and then select Channel 1.ĭo the same for all the other tracks- track 2 will be mapped to Channel 2, track 3 will be mapped to channel 3, etc. Repeat for all other tracks and groups.Ĥ. Name track 2 "GROUP B" or "B" or whatever you like. Name track 1 "GROUP A" or "A" or whatever you like. I usually do, set to 1/16, at 50% swing.ģ. OPTIONAL - right-click the record-arm button, and select midi input quantize if you want. *Set each of these tracks to "RECORD: OVERDUB" by right-clicking the record arm icon (this is important especially when you're looping a section and building a pattern). *Make all of their inputs be MIDI: ALL INPUTS, and set each track's record mode to "Automatic Record-Arm When Track Selected" (right-click the record arm icon). Here's how I did it if you want to know the full details (even if you download the pre-configured files): Controller Mode config file for Reaper, and 3. Maschine project with included samples, 2. and if you download these three files below, you don't have to do any of the steps except setting up Reaper's actions (the last section). Here's a video demonstrating how I use it. just by hitting the button that corresponds to that assigned track in Reaper. But this way is great for chopping samples and playing any group you want (and having it select the track automatically- thus, ready to record when needed). If you need a VST instrument such as a synth bass, pads, or whatever, just create a new Reaper track and put your favorite VST instrument on it (there are hundreds of awesome free VSTs out there). This is just for the drum kit people, or the people who like the MPC-style workflow (chopping samples mainly. Important note: I don't understand how to use Reaper's Instruments (pianos, guitars, synth leads, etc) in this way, as Maschine handles Instruments in a whole different way. for sample-chopping (quickly and easily), and tapping these chops out to pre-made loops just to get a song idea going, and fast. This is the #1 reason I prefer using Maschine as a VST. and BONUS- you get Reaper's Media Explorer, and time-stretched looping. This configuration is great if you prefer to use Reaper's sequencer and do a lot of MPC-style sample chopping and whatnot. I've since found that it's actually VERY advantageous to go into Controller Mode with Maschine, once everything is set up properly with Reaper. last weekend I worked hard on getting Maschine to work great as a VST inside Reaper (multi-timbrally), without going into Controller Mode. (but I would highly recommend you import the KeyMaps into a PORTABLE installation of Reaper- I don't want my KeyMaps conflicting with yours, and I don't want to screw up your Reaper). October 2019 updated the files / KeyMaps / etc so you don't have to configure anything
