Native Instruments Maschine templates for the MIDI Remote

Here’s a link to some templates inspired by and initially created for the YouTube Video: by Jef Gibbons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiFZ8Y5vOfU

For Machine Plus, MK3 and MK2:

Hi, I have watched some of Jeffs stuff, all excellent work. I have not gone throught the entire vdeo as currently trying to get my X Touch working to my liking. Do you know if Jeffs templates will work with Maschine Studio? or perhpaps there is an easy edit so it open with Studio?

Unfortunately not.

It’s theoretically possible to somewhat hack around in XML and JSON files, but it’s not easy and fraught with little things where the official software (NI Controller Editor and Cubase MIDI Remote respectively) find an inconsistency in the hacked template files and ignore them partly or fully.

In practice it’s quicker to create your own template by following Jef’s video.

Came here to say thank you for this wonderful template! It made my Maschine+ even more useful than it’s been before. Great work.

Do you know if it might be possible to somehow get the name of the selected track visible on the screens? Now it shows me what controller preset I’m using, and which pad/knob page I’m on. There’d still be room for the selected Cubase track name :slight_smile: Of course I understand if this is not possible – just asking!

@LasseTurunen Glad you’re finding it useful. Unfortunately, the regular MIDI Remote interface doesn’t facilitate sending Cubase track names (or much other metadata) to MIDI hardware.

To the best of my knowledge, some of that kind of stuff might be possible by using an entirely different protocol (like Mackie Remote), but I have never experimented with that to any meaningful degree. – And I don’t know, if Maschine+ even has a meaningful Mackie Remote implementation.

Alright. I think I’ll just continue working with your setup anyway, instead of looking into Mackie etc. Thanks again!
