Ok now I’m about 99% sold on Maschine….Once i seen you load Vst’s in it I could only pray it’ll load AU’s for us Mac users..A trip to GC and Someone who actually uses it there was Incredible!!!He showed me Maschine in Ableton with VI’s and it worked GREAT..(maybe Ableton next?) Ok so he went straight Maschine and Audio Unit Plug Ins straight into Maschine and i almost lost my mind!!!! MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE…But wait..Since ive been an Mpc user since 1991 my mind wont allow me to understand the work flow of Maschine..(seq to song type) Being a former MPC user yourself how did you re program to sequence and layout sequences to song form in Maschine???It doesn’t work like an MPC and I couldn’t seem to grasp the NI way of thinking to apply it for my use..I was there for at least 2 Hours trying to figure out the basics..The guy there was great! worked around it like nothing but didnt have time to show me more than what i described above.. I need another video if possible from start to finish of laying a beat down! a link will work if you have one..thanks for reading my novel Keep up the good work!!

@mehdo, I sold it because it took too long and was too complex to do the things I needed. It’s a dope machine, but everything I was doing with the 4k, I can do with maschine and more, much faster. Plus it helped me finance my new computer. It has a usb connection, but that’s only for transferring samples and such via it’s Ak.sys program, which is very tempermental on newer OS. The usb wasn’t useful as a midi port so, it was really no integration at all. If they come out with something that bridges the gap between mpc standalone and maschine style integration I would be interested again.

@LAWrin, I don’t believe there is a way to do this, quickly. But with multiple outputs on your soundcard it may be possible, I’d have to mess around with it to see.

Hi Saintjoe. Thank you for helping us).
Can i ask you, is there a way to pre-listen loops/pads in headphones before putting them out on a speakers?
May be i must buy special soundcard?
if so – may be you know which model is suitable ?

@Mehdo, right now I don’t see the point. I could see me using hardware again if it offered the same type of integration with software.

I still want to get a hardware drum machine/sampler for use away from my computer, but I can’t see myself ever being “hardware only” at any point again.

Maybe a mixture.
