Thanks for the kind shout-outs, Jef! You squeezed a lot of information into these 37 minutes and 5 seconds! — It’s one of the (many) real refreshing differences between your videos and too many others, who stretch the video minutes to please the YouTube gods rather than respecting the time of their viewers.

For anyone that's on Cubase 13 now. Steinberg actually added "blind buttons" so you don't need to assign dummy buttons. You can just select a blind button and add it.

Dude you literally saved me from throwing my Maschine Studio away because I could never get it to work properly with Cubase (outside using the Maschine software itself).
Now my editing process is how I always dreamed it would be (except for the jog wheel not being able to scroll the cursor around).

Managed to get this working for the Maschine Mikro Mk3 - thx Jef and Nico. For Mikro in the controller editor you need to select the pages tab on the right and select Pad Page H in replace of clicking group H button on full Maschine+. Other difference is control knob is not 4D so can only map start/stop and left right. Works perfectly including the ribbon.

Spectacular video Jef !!! Stop buying one specific controller for one specific DAW...The DAW (as Cubase 12 does now easily), must map, by its software, any controller .

absolute lifesaver video - thanks to you and nico5!

[Skijumptoes]

Nico5 is fantastic guy, full of knowledge on the forums! Great to see you digging in to the MIDI remote features, great video - thank you! :)

[jasoneveritt]

Actually for the M32 keyboard you have to go into Komplete Kontrol and edit the template by clicking the Midi icon in the top right (M32 does not work with NI Controller Editor).

Thanks a million for your Maschine templates Jef. I switched from Maschine Studio to mk3 and your templates saved me a lot of work... Now I just have to adapt a few MIDI remote commands to my needs. ❤️

Jef and Nico. Thank you for this absolutely awesome video. I got my MASCHINE mk3 set up in the time it took me to watch this video and some play time in between... You absolutely nailed it in explaining how stuff works and what to do if it does not... Super.

Imported the files - worked! I am blown away, thank you! ❤

[brutdescan]

Un Grand Merci à Toi (et Nico) pour ce tuto qui va me permettre de transformer une "vieille" MK2 en surface de côntrole super performante!!!! 👍

[peeweegee]

This is truly impressive! I can't imagine the amount of work and discovery it took for you and Nico to develope this. I learned a TON just following the logic and better understanding how the midi controller function works in C12. GREAT JOB!!

[QFXmusic]

Great video for all cubase users and applies to loads of other devices other than Machine

1. You are a genius Jef, and 2. you just saved us all hours of figuring this out! Thanks a million!

[JohnMcGFrance]

Thanks Jef and Nico. Very useful as ever. Off to have a try with my old Mk 2. Great way to use the Maschine hardware instead of it standing idle and should improve workflow massively. Really appreciate your work.

[yabix_music_production]

Thats a great setup to have. Thank you very much. Imported the files. Now it works flawlessly.

[joseluisrevelo]

Thanks Jeff and Nico! This is so useful you could charge for this template. Appreciate it!

[SonicVision]

This is a really great, extremely helpful video. I got my Maschine Mk2, as well as a couple of other controllers, all setup fine in Cubase 13 after watching this. The MIDI Remote is a HUGE IMPROVEMENT over the old Generic Remote! One unfortunate thing is the the bug mentioned at end (endless encoders / jittery Quick Controls) still persists in Cubase 13.

[fuerchtenichts]

Very cool solution and thx for the tipps regarding the usage of gate/"midi in" in the NI Editor (will save me hours) to Nico. It will be interesting to see whether NI will make usage of the cubase SDK for even deeper implementation of the MIDI Remote functionalities. :)
