    Anyone here using/used Maschine?

    I have been using Maschine+ a bit more in standalone mode lately (ive used Maschine mk2, then mk3, then plus, connected to the computer / via software for like almost a decade now!)

    I gotta say.... i feel stupid for not learning it sooner, it really does seem to be answering a lot of my needs and as i get deeper im realizing how much it can actually do in terms of being a dedicated sampler + looper + effects unit.

    Ive been following the SP-404 updates and its hard to not feel the GAS for it but then i take a sec and think about Maschine+ and it does so much of it already.

    This was just a stream of consciousness blog post... a little precursor to the fact that...

    I JUST DROPPED A NEW SINGLE FROM THE UPCOMING ALBUM!!!!

    Thanks for the support homies

    • i own 2 maschine licenses, a mikro, mk2, and a jam. The softeware is powerful and sounds great. Their sequencing workflow always threw me compared to ableton.imbecile
    • that said, i don't use any of that hardware, nor do i use the 88 key controller on any of my analog gear. Lately, I just want to sell it all and own an MPC One+imbecile

    • Thx imbecile! Yeah it took me a bit to get into the zone when making stuff on maschine but i feel like i should have learned the hardware better cuz it feels...mantrakid
    • totally different to focus entirely on the hardware / even go in standalone mode so im not even looking at a computer screen.mantrakid
    • i've had those moments of effortless usage on the mk2 to edit samples w/ the tiny screen & bust out beats. i don't want to be dependent on my computer, though.imbecile
    • Agreed on: "i feel like i should have learned the hardware better" Maybe a Maschine plus would be good but i'd rather save money on more hardware i can't use :Dimbecile
    • I had a Micro many moons ago. Ended up winning a Maschine full size for designing a faceplate. Didnt really use it but did buy loads of their librariesmicrokorg
    • and instruments that i'd pull into ableton live. never gelled with the maschine way of working either. Still got it sitting in a box.microkorg
    • Have a Push2 too and thats only ever really been used as a keyboard not to its full editing/programming potential. I never RTFM.microkorg
    • @mikrokorg - Does the maschine you have also have the faceplate you designed? Id love to see it!!!mantrakid
