Touch Strip

Note: This page only pertains to the Maschine Plus/MK3/Mikro MK3, as the others do not have a touch strip.

Pitch Mode

Pitch Mode allows the touch strip to serve as a pitchwheel, controlling the channel pitch.



Mod Mode

Mod Mode allows the touch strip to serve as a mod wheel.

Your project must include a properly configured “Remote control”:


  1. Locate the Remote control for the Mod wheel in the Browser PROJECT tab:
    Current Project → Remote control → Omni - Mod wheel (Wrapper)
  2. In the “Remote control settings” window:
  3. ■ Click the “Link 1” dropdown then click “New link”.
    ■ Set “Port” to the port number you chose in Step 4 of Setup - FL Studio Settings.
    ■ Set “Channel” to 1
    ■ Set “Ctrl” to 1
    ■ Select “Omni”
    ■ Click “Accept”
  4. Your new “Remote control” will appear in the Browser. I recommend creating a project template at this point to avoid repeating these steps for each new project.


Notes Mode

Notes Mode allows the touch strip to play notes and chords. The velocity at which these notes and chords are played are determined by your fixed velocity settings. Playing notes and chords with the touch strip responds to the sustain pedal. When Pad Filtering is enabled (SELECT + NOTES), pads do not trigger any sound, and the touch strip will only play notes/chords corresponding to the pads that are pressed.



Position Mode

Position Mode allows you to seek through the Pattern/Song position. The lights above the touch strip indicate the current Pattern/Song position.
