This article explains how to set up your Maschine controller to use the transport controls (play, stop, etc.) in FL Studio.
1. Configuring the Maschine Controller for Host Transport Control
- Open the Controller Editor application.
- Load the Mackie Control template from the Factory Template drop-down menu.
- Enable Host Transport Control.
Note for Maschine MK1, Maschine Mikro MK1, and Maschine Jam users: please select FL Studio under Factory Templates instead of Mackie Control before you continue with the steps below. You can find more info on using these controllers with FL Studio on this Image Line forum page.
2. Configuring FL Studio for Host Transport Control
- Launch FL Studio and insert Maschine as an instrument plug-in. This article explains how to do this.
- Go to Options > MIDI settings.
- In the Output section, select your Maschine controller. In our example picture below, we choose Maschine Mikro MK3.
- In the Input section, select your Maschine controller.
- Change the Controller type to Mackie Control Universal.
Note: If using a Maschine MK1, Maschine Mikro MK1, or Maschine Jam, choose your Maschine controller as Controller Type instead of Mackie Control Universal.
- Click the Enable button.
Your Maschine controller is now configured to use the transport controls in FL Studio.
You can control your Maschine plug-in when the controller is in Maschine mode. Switching to MIDI mode will allow you to use the Host Transport Control. This article explains how to switch your controller to MIDI mode.
