How to Use Your Maschine Pads with Native Instruments Battery Kit

Are you looking for a way to use your Maschine pads with the Native Instruments Battery Kit? You're in the right place! In this article, we'll show you how to trigger all sounds in your Battery Kit using your Maschine controller.

First things first, make sure you have the latest version of Controller Editor installed on your computer. If the default Template 1 has been altered, you can create a new Default Template from the Edit menu (select New). Alternatively, use the default Template 1 by clicking it within the Templates menu.

Next, launch the Controller Editor software and select your Maschine controller model from the top left corner. Make sure the Maschine software is not running before proceeding.

In this chapter, we'll focus on using your Maschine pads in MIDI Mode to trigger all sounds in your Battery Kit. This is useful when running Battery in standalone mode or as a plug-in within your DAW.

To get started, select the 'Keyboard' mode on your Maschine controller. The left-side display will show the name of the Kit and the Root Note value. Press the KEYBOARD button to activate it.

On the Maschine Mikro MK3, use the Encoder Knob to dial in C1 as the Root Note. This will ensure that all Maschine Pads correspond with the 16 Battery drum sounds. If you're using a different Maschine controller, use the OCTAVE- / OCTAVE+ buttons displayed on the right-side display to set the Root Note of the first pad to C1.

Once you've set the Root Note, press the KEYBOARD button again to exit Keyboard mode and return to your normal Maschine workflow. You can now trigger all sounds in your Battery Kit using your Maschine pads.

It's also worth noting that you can quickly view the Battery window within Maschine by pressing the TAB key on your computer keyboard. On other Maschine controllers, the button is labelled BROWSER, but on the Maschine Mikro MK3, it's labeled with a magnifying glass symbol.

In conclusion, using your Maschine pads with the Native Instruments Battery Kit is a great way to expand your creative possibilities and get more out of your drum machine. By following these simple steps, you can start triggering all sounds in your Battery Kit using your Maschine controller.
