You're Canadian, doesn't our healthcare help with that? I thought mine did in Alberta...Quote:

pros:
incredibly intuitive.
within the first 20 minutes you can have a beat written and be working on a lead line. NI have some great tutorials on youtube and the program and controller go together better than any other i have experienced.
you can use it with other software.
i have mine set up for ableton when i want to mix electro, i have it set for traktor with my own custom mapping(which is SO easy don't let anyone tell you otherwise) for everything else. I have done sets using only my mashcine
it makes an MPC affordable and better
its like a drum machine on steroids and has an extensive library of sounds that is extremely customizable. and its cheap compared to most mpcs.
cons:
not that many people have it so if you are looking for help on a specific issue( such as how to make a dubstep wobble) you won't find much help so therefore its a pretty on your own type of program.
in conclusion:
get it. if you have any questions specifically please ask. it is the best thing i have purchased for DJing and makes production amazing.
Girlfriend gave me a Maschine for christmas.
Constantly being amazed by what i can do with it!
And with 1.6 released now supporting VST and 16 channel output .. well, i can see some pretty amazing things happening with it :D
Only had mine for about a month and love it. Just downloaded 1.6 so going to try it out now :D
Love my Maschine!
Wow thanks for all your input guys.
especially @tristancary...you have made me realise its for me :)
Definitely top of my list of my next pay cheque :)
glad i could help! let us know how you like maschine when you get one. i started leaving all my controllers at home and just bringing maschine. its fantasticQuote:

group e= hot cues/browsing
bottom bank is hot cues 1-4 deck a
2nd is hot cues 1-4 deck b
3rd is browse up, down, load a, load b
my top knob and button section is my effects/sync button.
deck a(button 1 is effect 1, 2 effect 2, 3 effect 3, 4 is sync a)
deck b (button 5 is effect 1 button 2 effect 2, 3 effect 3, 4 sync b)
my knobs are effect 1, 2, 3, and dry/wet and repeated.
it should be all attached. i hope you find it useful.
thanks!

theres a filter with bp that can be set to 1/8 of the tracks temp and that kind of got me there. but now that maschine 1.6 has vst plug in support you can use maschine or any other synth you like and easily create a wobble following any tutorial onlineQuote:
