![]() ![]() ![]() I want the Mikro to go through Deck C so I disconnected all the other decks and set Deck C’s inputs to BumbleBee L & BumbleBee R. This is where the Maschine Mirko will play through one of your decks. For this setup, you can follow the the list below: Ĭlick on Output Routing – mixing mode is set to internal. I set my sample rate to 44100 Hz and Latency for my computer worked well at 512. Choose your new ‘ sound card’ you just created, in my case I chose ‘ BumbleBee’. Time to open Traktor’s preferences window – and navigate to Audio Setup on the left. ![]() ![]() Close the Audio MIDI Setup app – we’re well on the way! STEP THREE: TRAKTOR PREFERENCES If this port is already in use by another internal MIDI routing, you can create an additional port by first clicking on the arrow next to ‘More Information’ and then clicking the + button on the bottom left of the property window. Click on ‘More Information’ – by default a port called “Bus 1” already exists. In the properties dialog, click the “Device is online” checkbox to make it active. The Traktor Virtual Output is not as reliable as the built-in IAC Driver. This is where you’ll create the virtual driver to be able to send the midi clock to the Maschine software. Still in Audio Midi Setup, go to Window > Show Midi Window – and double click on the IAC Driver icon to bring up the properties dialog. I used Traktor Kontrol S2 as the clock source and set the sample rate to 44100 Hz (I used this setting as I’m only using MP3s). With your aggregated device highlighted, mark the ‘ use‘ and ‘ Drift Correction‘ check boxes for the Traktor Kontrol S2 and Soundflower (2ch). You can change the name by double clicking on Aggregate Device next to the big blue and white plus. This allows you to create a virtual sound card with all the ins and outs you need. If you don’t see the audio window (image at left), use the menubar: Window>Show Audio Window.Ĭlick on the + sign at the bottom left, and Create Aggregate Device. Open up Audio MIDI Setup located in the Applications/Utilities folder. STEP TWO: CREATE AN AUDIO DEVICE Click to zoom and see the full audio device settings. First, download and install Soundflower (made by Cycling 74, the same team behind MaxMSP) – and restart your computer! Soundflower allows routing of audio between applications on one computer. Since the Kontrol S2 sound card has no available inputs, we need to trick the computer into thinking it is using a sound card with all the available ins and outs we are going to need. Audio MIDI Setup (pre-installed on OSX in Applications>Utilities).This setup was accomplished with my Macbook, Traktor Kontrol S2, and Maschine Mikro – so no external MIDI cable connections were possible (the Mikro and S2 don’t have the MIDI ports that other audio interfaces and controllers offer). Like many DJTT readers, I can’t afford another laptop right now – so I had to make this work with just what was available! STEP ONE: GEAR UP Some places talked about using the full-sized Maschine and Kontrol S4, both of which have the ability to plug-in a MIDI cable, while others (like in Chris Liebing’s DJTT interview) suggest using two computers to run his Maschine and Traktor all syncronized with an external sound card. I searched the internet high and low for an answer. The loop recorder can also record Maschine loops, which can be used later on in the Remix Decks. With this setup I can control the Maschine’s output via one of the decks and be able to control its EQ, volume, and add Traktor effects. Naturally the first thing I wanted to do was to take the output of the Maschine Software and re-route it back into one of my decks via a Live Input Deck in Traktor. Recently a friend of mine, DJ MtP, decided to give me a new early birthday present – he got the newer version of Maschine so he gave me his first generation Maschine Mikro. Today we’re looking how to route and sync Maschine with Traktor – allowing recording, EQ, and effects while maintaining a synchronized BPM across both softwares. The Native Instruments Maschine software and hardware is very much at home in a production workflow, but bringing the audio output into Traktor isn’t especially intuitive, especially if you’re limited by the number of computers you can use or don’t have MIDI ports on your controller or soundcard. ![]()
