It’s a great idea, and something I’m interested in using with my own Maschine for. I’m sure you could set up a template that covers tons of OT functonality.
BUT the biggest feature that interests me - triggering slices with Maschine pads or any other external MIDI controller - doesn’t work. You can trigger samples in general just fine, but there’s with the OT’s processing of CC messages that select the slice. You can send the “select a slice” method followed by a “note on” message, but it takes the OT something like 80ms to process the first message, so that you end up triggering the previously selected slice
See this topic for details: Triggering slices with midi notes?
and make sure to read to the end.
I brought the issue up with Elektron and got this response "The CC messages and the Midi Note messages are processed by different parts of the system where the MIDI Note has a priority. The best solution would
be to be able to trigger the Slices directly from MIDI Notes since there
can be a difference in delay of the system handling CC depending on the
load of the machine. I have forwarded this request to the developers but I
can not promise anything."
So no promises about a solution.
Anyway, it still might be worth it to use Maschine for other functions, but bear in mind that there are issues with triggering slices.
