I know the smaller ones have Fatar keybeds and I am familiar with the action of these through my Moog Voyager and am really impressed.

I’m also strongly considering purchasing a Komplete Kontrol S88 keyboard to go with it.ĭoes anyone have experience with the S series keyboards and, in particular, the S88?

I'd say just go for it and get your hands dirty, start mapping simple things and as you run into issues or things you cant do ask questions.īottom line: I have a strong impression that NI looks at all this MIDI stuff as a secondary thing that most people don't use much that's why new controllers are now released without MIDI support at launch, the MK3 never got the super advanced CE template that the Maschine Studio has for Live, information is not very clear, etc.I’m planning on taking advantage of the current Native Instruments sale and will be picking up the upgrade from my current Komplete 8 Standard to Komplete 11 Ultimate.

(If only there's was an API or public info on how to customize the Host Integration so people with development knowledge outside NI could do their own stuff, possibilities would be endless)ģ.) There's a ton of videos out there as well as users sharing their custom templates, it's very hard to point one specific source because what works for you might not work for someone else and many also contain inaccurate information. It's not customizable like i said earlier. It's also fully customizable.Īdvanced Host Integration is way easier to understand and use, has a much nicer GUI and visual feedback on the HW screens at the expense of being a lot more basic, ATM the Pads, for example, became useless which is a huge turn off IMO. Mackie Templates offer much more functionality, with that comes a harder learning curve but I think everything is mostly self-explanatory since all buttons and knobs properly named. Mackie makes very popular DAW controllers, it's specific MIDI mappings are adopted by the industry and come pre-loaded with DAW's like Logic so NI's Controller Editor has a template for it using the same mapping standards, this gives NI users the ability to quickly load the Mackie CE template, then in Logic also use the included Mackie template and everything will work out of the box fast and easy without requiring the user to spend hours mapping each individual button/knob manually. All functions are listed here: MK3 Cheat Sheet.Ģ.) That will depend on your needs and personal taste, Host Integration and Mackie Template are totally different things. ATM it's only available for Ableton Live and Logic, it's basically a script that turns the unit into a somewhat basic DAW dedicated controller. Let's establish what is what first:ġ.)What you call a 'template on start' (that video+pics) is Host Integration, this is not a Controller Editor template and is not editable. This is the available MACKIE CONTROL Template (source: controller editor) which is not so convenient (to understand - record, tracks.):Ĭlick to expand. SHIFT allows a lot more functions (here: quantize, undo/ redo) Logic tracks MK3 without changing any settings:

and not clear what is what)ģ.) Is there a good guideline/ manual how to use the controller editor? Then I have only the possibility to switch into a MIDI-template which was assigned via the controller editor!ġ.) Is the 'template' on start up editable? -> If so, where can I find it?!Ģ.) What is a sensible Template for Logic & MK3? -> I activated the MACKIE CONTROL TEMPLATE (hard stuff. The point is: this valuable integration passes away when I start the Maschine plugin.

Here it shows directly all the assigned tracks from Login on the both MK3-displays, transport section is working perfectly (play, stop, rec.), adjustable vol/ pan, undo/ redo/ quantize, mute/ solo. So far, I noticed that there is a already a good basic integration for my MK3 when opening Logic WITHOUT switching into MIDI-Mode and WITHOUT changing settings in Logic, Maschine or the controller editor! Now I'm looking for a sensible MIDI-template to be able to use my Maschine-MK as an controller for Logic.

Finally, I recently installed Logic as my new host for Maschine.
