A little background

This script was inspired by a post on the Maschine forum(https://www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/kinda-hacked-machine-ideas-view-for-external-midi-pattern-selection.316506/). In a similar way, this script uses automated mouse movements and clicks to trigger patterns within the Maschine software, but it automates many aspects of this process, making it pretty easy to use:
- it automatically reads the patterns (by taking a screenshot and reading from it)
- it calculates the clicking positions on the fly, adapting to the window position
