Maschine already contains are large, yet incomplete, selection of MIDI mappings for external devices in the Sounds and Groups, tagged as 'Midi Ext'. This mapping repository is supposed to fill the gaps left by Native Instruments.
Please let me know if you have created other MIDI mappings for Maschine. Contributors are very welcome and I am happy to share this repository with other creators for the sake of the Maschine community!
- To use a specific mapping, download the required file from the Sounds or Groups folder to the following folder on your computer, or Maschine Plus SD card for standalone use:
Native Instruments/Maschine 2/Sounds
or
Native Instruments/Maschine 2/Groups
Alternaively, you can download all mappings by copying the whole repository into this folder:
Native Instruments/Maschine 2
- Load mapping via drag and drop or the browser and use the mappings via the Macro menu. The mappings will be under 'USER', since they are not provided by NI.
It's best to use the latest firmware for your external gear, since manufacturers sometimes add MIDI communication capabilities in newer versions. The firmware the mapping was designed for is listed in brackets in the list below.
Of course, make sure to set the correct Midi Device and Channel in the Channel Output Settings!
| Mapping | Author | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| !MAP ALL CCs | anzbert | This is a universal mapping, which includes all mappable Midi values in Maschine. All CCs (0-127) and Program Change. |
| Arturia Microfreak (5.0+) | anzbert | |
| Arturia Minifreak (2.0+) | anzbert | Enable Program Changes in the Midi Menu on the device, if you want to control preset selection externally. |

| Elektron Syntakt (1.21+) Track | anzbert | Control Settings on Tracks 1-12. The default MIDI Channels on the Syntakt for these Tracks are 1-12. |
| Elektron Syntakt (1.21+) MIDI | anzbert | Control Settings on a Track, which is using a MIDI machine to control external gear. The default MIDI Channels on the Syntakt for these tracks are also 1-12, since any Track can can contain a MIDI Device. |
| Elektron Syntakt (1.21+) FX Track | anzbert | Control the FX Track. The default MIDI Channel on the Syntakt is 13 for this Track, same as the Global FX Track. |
| Elektron Syntakt (1.21+) Global | anzbert | Control the global Delay, Reverb and Drive and the External Mixer. The default MIDI Channel on the Syntakt is 13 for global FX, same as the FX Track. Send Program Changes to select Patterns (Make sure to set the Program change Receive channel on the Syntakt). |
| Flame Curves | polynil | |
| Korg Minilogue XD | Crybo | Check this video on Youtube. |
| Korg NTS-1 MK1 | anzbert | Default Channel is 1 on the NTS-1 MK1. |
| Korg opsix / opsix SE / opsix module | anzbert | Made from Korg's midi implementation version 3.1.0 (see opsix manual) in January 2024. |
| LPZW Tram8 | polynil | |
| Nord Drum 3P | polynil | |

| Roland MX-1 | polynil | |
| Roland SE-02 | ozon | You can provide feedback in the NI forum here. |
| Roland SP404MK2 (3.0+) | anzbert | Basic mapping, due to the limited implentation on the SP. Adressable channels are 1: FX1, 2: FX2, 3: FX3, 4:FX4 and 5: InputFX. For Pattern Select Channel 1-10 equal Groups A-J. Chromatic playing only works in Chromatic mode on channel 16. The SP doesn't send CC back to the Maschine when adjusting FX on it. |
