How is that "double" the price? Isn't Maschine MK2 $600? But, yeah, it's a significant increase.Quote:

Any word on integration with traktor ?
A worry free sync would be amazing. Or can you load up traktor as a VST already ?
And probably, as i predicted, a traktor s8 with LCD displays will follow
I'm sure that NI endorsed artists have been vocal about the fact that they want to avoid the laptop altogether. Any video that you watch of DJ Shiftee and Craze they always try keep the laptop off to the side. Don't get me wrong I love Traktor but the more information and feedback they can give you through the gear the better. It's win/win, you get to really dive into your gear and your audience doesn't think you're just geeking it up on the laptop.
Watch the amount of artists in this video from 2010 who specifically mention they don't like having to go to the laptop.

damm this is a MPC killer...
Still waiting on a dedicated "Traktor OS" machine where the laptop can be ditched completely :p
But that new Maschine looks badass .. much more "future" than the latest MPC's
Shame theirs no sound card though
That's going to come with the generation after the next-gen traktor controllers (with LCDs controlled via USB by a computer)Quote:

I, for one, will probably pick one up sometime. I bought a Mikro MK2 a few months ago and love it for portability (making beats & tracks at coffee shop, airport etc.), but was slightly limiting when working at home. I will still use it when I travel, but the Studio looks great for use at home in my studio. I opted against the "regular" Maschine MK2 because I didn't think it offered enough over the Mikro for what I wanted.
It won't be for everybody, but for me, this looks great. I am glad I didn't get the Push or the "regular" Maschine MK2. I like the workflow of Maschine and, frankly, I felt like I wish it was easier to adjust levels etc for arranging; I don't always want to have to switch out to Ableton to do arranging.
Looking at it again I'm more tempted by this.
Three midi outs I'm hoping that means they finally added some meaningful streamlined means for sequencing of external devices. That alone is why I still keep my mpc around
Yup. They sure have:
"MASCHINE STUDIO’s advanced MIDI CC functionality lets you easily assign any instrument or effect parameter to any external control surface or your host’s automation control. Create detailed automation lines in your host and MASCHINE will stay tightly locked to every tweak, pan, and fader ride.
Seamlessly turn MASCHINE STUDIO into the control hub of your entire studio. 1 MIDI In and 3 MIDI Outs let you route control messages from MASCHINE STUDIO to multiple devices for the ultimate command center. Connect a MIDI keyboard for intricate melodic performances. Or route control messages from MASCHINE STUDIO to multiple devices."
