Posted up a Ableton Push and Maschine v2 workflow template for your downloading pleasure over at blend.io. You’ll need to set up an account if you don’t have one – something I highly recommend. 🙂

Let me know if it gives you issues, kind of a noob with the templating in Ableton believe it or not.
Mid-summer I got my hands on Ableton Push and was floored. So. Much. Damn. Awesome. Instrument. (obligatory overused doge meme image here). I had been using NI Maschine for a while, which is pretty cool in it’s own right, but I never loved it’s built-in sequencer. The workflow and sounds though . . . if only I could easily sequence them in Ableton Live somehow!
Ultimately after much trial and error, I came up with a workflow that worked. I documented it on the Live forums, and then blend.io (great service, I’ve been slacking!) picked up on it and I guest blogged there about it.
Anyway, fast forward several months and Native Instruments released v2 of Maschine’s software. Great update, but in doing so, they broke a few workflow things, which sent me back to the drawing board. Annoyingly I had to wait for a few sub-updates first, but now it’s all back in action.
So, here’s the update to how to set it up with v2:
In Live:
In Maschine:
You can now trigger and sequence that group using the Ableton Drum Rack and Ableton’s clips!
If you want to have multiple groups triggered independently each from their own Ableton Drum Racks on dedicated tracks, this is also possible using these additional steps:
In Live:
In Maschine:
Now you can have potentially 8 separate Ableton drum racks, each controlling their own group in Maschine controlling everything with just the Push!
Good luck and hopefully you’ll find this technique helpful in some way, even if it’s just a jump off point for your own setup.
I reached out to blend.io a bit ago about updating their blog, but no word back. Will try to get an updated template up as well so you can just pull it down, save it as your own, and roll.
Happy Beatmakin’!
