Triggering MASCHINE Sounds from MIDI Tracks in Logic Pro

This is the simplest method to quickly set a MASCHINE instance to respond to sequences recorded in Logic Pro's MIDI tracks. Follow the steps below:

1. Launch Logic Pro.
2. Create a Software Instrument track with MASCHINE 2 loaded on it.
3. Load a Group Kit in MASCHINE and navigate to the Group configuration page by clicking on the Channel Icon.
4. In Input > MIDI, change the Key Mode to Drumkit.
   
5. You should now be able to trigger and record sequences for each Sound loaded in the Group using each note in the range of C2 to D#3.

Loading MASCHINE as a multi-timbral instrument will allow you to record sequences for each Sound loaded in a Group into separate MIDI tracks. In order to configure this, follow the steps below:

1. Launch Logic Pro.
2. Create a Software Instrument track with MASCHINE loaded on it. Tick the Multi-timbral box and enter 16 in the parts field, as shown below. This will create 16 MIDI tracks that will automatically be assigned to MIDI channels 1 through 16 in ascending order.
   
3. Open the MASCHINE plug-in window and load a Group Kit and click the Channel Icon to access the Sound's configuration pane.
4. Select Input > MIDI, then change the Source to Host and the Channel to 1.
5. Repeat these steps for each Sound, assigning the Channel to its corresponding number (e.g. Sound 2 to Channel 2, Sound 3 to Channel 3, etc.).
   
6. Each MIDI track in the multi-timbral instrument now respectively triggers each Sound in the loaded Group. Instruments and drum samples can be played chromatically on each track. To play Drum samples at their original pitch, trigger the C3 note.
   

Note: If you want to assign each MIDI track to separate outputs in Logic Pro, please follow the steps in this video.
