I only just picked up Maschine a couple of weeks ago so I am very new to this.
I have found that if I set up a the midi track and then set the output to superior Drummer and then the input from Maschine (not in midi mode)
Also in the Group Batch midi setup option I change it from sounds channels to sounds to notes
Then change the bass note in pad mode of Maschine down from C3 to C1 I can then use Maschine to trigger Superior Drummer.
I then created and saved empty kit in maschine with the colours and names for the pads for easy recall.
There may be a better way but this does work and also allows me to try midi from/in Maschine and edit it as well.
