    With Native Instruments having a major sale on Maschine and Mikro at the moment i've been tempted to grab one. But Maschine has its drawbacks and have been very slow at updates and feature requests. It's also a crap sequencer too for finishing songs. One major gripe is that you can't record automation from external controllers.

    The other day I saw these videos for the Akai Renaissance and it's made me really want one. Talk about perfection! Much easier workflow than Maschine and a great looking unit with lots of knobs for hands-on controls!

    It seems like it's also got a built-in audio interface too so all you'd need to gig with is the unit and laptop.
    I'd initially though the unit might be too big to lug around, but if it means you dont need to lug around audio interface too then that's great!
