Explaining how to turn local control off for my synth was a lifesaver! Thank you! My Korg Minilogue XD is now linked to my Maschine+, but I can also use it as a controller keyboard when I switch to one of the internal plugin synths.
Holy crap, I beat my head against the wall for 2 hours last night trying to figure this out. I have these exact two machines, couldn't get it to work! I can't wait to get home and rewatch this... THANK YOU!!
@@LowHeatBeats alright, immfollowing your instructions... something goes wrong at 02:50.. my output does not show microfreak. Only None, master, A1 - Double agent kit, ext 1 - ext 12 Now I'm stuck, frustrated and beating my head against the wall again. Infact, all I want to be able to do is play the microfreak through the maschine.. then into the audio interface but I have no idea how to do that either. I'm frustrated that this is so confusing. So, I don't know what I did wrong but now, if I hit a key on the microfreak. What it does is plays the last button I used on the maschine, so a drum beat but each key changes that drum beat a note... How do I just get it to hear the microfreak? Just without it wanting to control the maschine?
@@Twistedstar0320 You need to go to the 3rd page of the Output tab, to set up the MIDI output. You're on the first page which is Audio output. Otherwise, everything is explained in the video.
Hi, thx for this video. How do you actually record this? Because every time I play the MicroFreak through MK3, I'm not able to record the sound in any DAW. I can only record the sound only if I play Microfreak directly.
Not sure why you wouldn't be able to record it in a DAW, I guess that would depend on your setup. Recording in Maschine is explained around the 4th minute of the video.
thx a lot for your reply. I actually get to record the MicroFreak midi notes through MK3 in Maschine 2, but the recording messes up the sound of the midi notes, which does not happen when I'm simply playing:) The mystery of Maschine + microfreak:)
Question: So after sequencing an external synth - for recording a two bar sequence triggering the external synth. I now want to record/bounce snth track so that I can capture synth loop as audio- so that I can save the track in a project file and not need to have the synth connected in the future. Thx!
It's been a while since I made this video, so I don't remember what I covered in it but I have another video about audio recording in Maschine, maybe it will help - ruclips.net/video/CLsKpFg1Yqk/видео.html
Helped me setup my Microfreak with my MK3. THANKS. So it's like sampling any other audio source through the line in of Maschine. Set the pad as an audio channel and then chop it up accordingly. Sick.
Hello my friend! Could you tell me exactly how you do this? I mean: Set the pad as an audio.... I can't hear the sounds of the synthesizer connected to Maschine Mk3, and therefore I can't record either.
HI need help My maschine3 software doesn't have midi option in the settings. When i plug Micro freak its not coming up as an Option on the maschine mk3
Hmm, I can't think of a reason off the top of my head but you can join our Discord server (link in description) and we can discuss it in more detail and also other members may chime in with a solution.
Hi need some help, wich cable and how can i connect this combo ? Maschine MK 3 + microfreak + Midi Keyboard . I will Play with the Midi Keyboard the microfreak and record into Maschine ( with the effects) from the Maschine . Please must buy some cables
@@SampleToChop This is explained in the video - MIDI will go through the USB cable. You can use a MIDI cable instead but USB is more convenient as it will also power the Microfreak.
Thanks for the video. About the audio input source 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 it depends also on if you use MK3 as soundinterface or use for instance an external interface, like I do. I bought an expensive cable hooked it up in Maschine. Trying, trying ... NOTHING. No, because I use the RME Fireface UC. Haha. But I like the video a lot, because I keep forgetting all the other steps, because most of the time I work in Ableton.
Thank you! Yeah, we can arrange it, please message me with the contact form on my website or on Instagram or Facebook (links are in the description of the video).
Can you elaborate? If you set a single mono input as recording source the recording is automatically converted to stereo in the sense that it's played through both the left and right channels.
It doesn’t matter what controler you use, it’s all in the Maschine software. Obvously with the Mikro you won’t be able to set it up from the controller, you will use your mouse and keyboard and set it up from the software interface on your computer.
Hi, can i connect AND setup a midi keyboard + Maschine mk3 + midi sound module WITHOUT using a computer? So it's all standalone. Assuming the answer is, " Yes", does that also work if , say, keyboard was usb midi only? ( Sound module standard DIN midi). Thank you.
Why do you need the Maschine in this setup? There's no way to connect a USB MIDI keyboard directly to Maschine MK3, you have to connect it to a computer. And I'm not sure if the MK3 is going to work at all without a computer, I haven't tried it. Looks like you need a Maschine Plus.
So I recorded a bass line through the MicroFreak and now no matter what I do when I switch the preset it switches the sound I recorded onto Maschine, how do I stop this
That’s how MIDI works, you haven’t recorded the sound, just the MIDI notes. You need to record it as audio, I’ve got a tutorial about this as well. Not sure if it’s linked in the video but you can search for it.
What’s good LowHeat, thanks for the video! I’m thinking of getting a MOOG Sub 25. Can I extend the 25 keys of the MOOG with maschines 16 pads? Kinda like having 36 key notes instead of sub 25’s 25 key notes.
@@LowHeatBeats yes I understand you can go up & down octaves through the octave pages on the Moog. I mean like a piano roll, like higher key notes on the maschine while at the same time having the lower key notes on the Moog, sort of like playing an extended piano 🔥
Fantastic and on top tutorial micro Freak one of that knows what it is for good price, other are eder expensive to much or trying to do something only analog/digital from top notch manufacturer capable. This sound simple but we are all on the edge so it's good to have this information. Thanks
Is a Pity that Maschine MK3 have really big problems with USB MIDI.... it get stucked and block the sequencer just after few minutes if you try to use multiple hardware synth.....
It should be the same process, as far as Maschine setup goes. Otherwise you might want to consult the JDXi's manual for stuff that may be particular to it.
I appreciate this video. Hopefully this instruction works with MK2 as well. I’m sure it should. Gonna try this out with my Minilogue and my CRAVE. Thanks for posting.
Glad it was useful! Should def work with the MK2 as well, only the settings menu is not available (I think) on the MK2 hardware so you’ll need to choose the MIDI ins and outs from the software.
Did you ever get this working? I have an MK3 and a Crave and I can send midi from the crave back to the MK3 and I can record the audio coming in but for some reason I can’t hit the pads to trigger midi on the Crave. I’ve double checked all of my I/O settings and still no dice. I also tried hooking the crave usb using USB as well as the midi ports
@@cheddy_chedderson_cheddouard Is it possible that you're on the first page which is Audio output? You need to go to the 3rd page of the Output tab, to set up the MIDI output.
I followed the video exactly but when I hit the pad, it does not activate my synth. When I hit the keys on my synth, the pad on the Maschine lights up but there is no sound. However if I hit the pad, there's no sound and the synth doesn't generate sound either (I know because it's supposed to generate sound waves on the synth's LED display). If it helps, the output of the MK3 is connected to an audio interface.
There are a lot of variables, so it’s hard for me to figure out what the issue is without examining the whole setup. Maybe the synth is set to receive MIDI on a different channel? Consult your manual for this if you don’t know how to set it.
@@LowHeatBeats I'm still so lost i want to use maschine to control my model D and i cant get it to work ive watched this video so many times and it still won't make a sound
ok ive got sound now but i the m32 stopped controlling the maschine and only works if i set the key mode to drum kit or manual and it only triggers one note, when i set it up in logic the model d is spread out among the keys like it supposed to be how do wi get the m32 to work the right way
@@LowHeatBeats i asked you about hooking up the model d can you do a video with a synth that doesn't have a utilities menu thats where everyone is lost
But I don’t think the utilities are necessary to send MIDI to the synth it should receive it automatically if you setup everything correctly in Maschine. Maybe try different MIDI channels?
Hey Lowheat, another success story here, watched many many vids but this one has worked. I also managed to run my ketstep37 to output my synth sounds. Thank you

Can you elaborate? If you set a single mono input as recording source the recording is automatically converted to stereo in the sense that it's played through both the left and right channels.
So I've set it up like this. Is it possible to record as stereo? I only audio in the L side.
If your sound source is mono you need to select a mono input, you have probably selected a stereo one.

Yes, you need to use a separate audio interface with the MK2 and it would work pretty much the same way.
