3.6.1.2 Setting up Ableton Live (Windows)
Ableton Live must be configured for advanced integration with MASCHINE.
Installing the MIDI Remote Script
The MIDI Remote Script allows Ableton Live to recognize MASCHINE as a control surface. It
must be copied into Live’s MIDI Remote Scripts directory:
1. Ensure that Ableton Live is not running.
2. Navigate to the following folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Host
Integration\Ableton Live\
3. Copy the Maschine_MK3 folder to the clipboard.
4. Navigate to the MIDI Remote Scripts folder in Ableton Live’s installation directory: C:\Pro-
gramData\Ableton\Live10\Resources\MIDI Remote Scripts
5. Paste the folder you have copied to the clipboard into the MIDI Remote Scripts folder.
Configuring Ableton Live for MASCHINE
Once the MIDI Remote Script and the Instrument Rack file are installed in the correct loca-
tion, you need to add MASCHINE as a control surface in Ableton Live's preferences.
1. Launch Ableton Live.
2. In Ableton Live, go to the Preferences and open the MIDI / Sync tab.
3. Assign a free Control Surface slot to MASCHINE Mk3 by selecting it from the drop-down
menu.
4. Leave both the Input and the Output for the MASCHINE Mk3 control surface set to None.
3.6.1.3 Setting up Apple Logic Pro X
Apple Logic Pro X is automatically configured for advanced integration with MASCHINE once
you launch the respective application for the first time after installing the MASCHINE soft-
ware. Ensure that the controller is connected and switched on before launching the applica-
tion.
A dialog asks you to confirm this after launching the application:
