If anyone is interested I just found the solution myself:

- within the NI Controller Editor patch/assign every pad to another MIDI channel. You got 16 to choose from - the number of pads you have on the Maschine controller.

- set every note of every pad to "C3" so there will not be any pitching issues later on.

- in Pro Tools create one MIDI track for each pad you like to use. If you want to be able to trigger the whole drum group inside of Maschine create 16 MIDI tracks.

- set the MIDI-inputs of the tracks in an ascending order from Maschine channel 1 to channel 16.

- set the outputs to Maschine MIDI in from 1 to 16 as well.

- within the Maschine plugin you can set the MIDI input channel for each sound. These correspond to the MIDI output channels from the step before.

- to record arm all MIDI tracks in Pro Tools simply shift-click their record buttons.


Now all 16 MIDI channels for Maschine are used. But you can only use the drums with Maschine. To solve that you can easily just create another track (audio or instrument) with another instance of the Maschine plugin inserted.


So now you have the Maschine sounds with the layout of Pro Tools linked.
