Push + Maschine 2.0 + APC40

[botstein]

its the simple little things that add up.
maschine for now has a better browser, and can wrap vst presets so they can be browsed and loaded entirely from the controller. the only thing i do instrument wise in ableton is experimental drum rack shit that i control with my mpc.

i am excited though by the prospect that this is the mark of a tide change for midi controllers. sure maschines competitors are comparitively young and underdeveloped but both push and renaissance have some nice hardware once they PUSH out the kinks... yeah a bad pun...

I'm just curious, are you using an older MPC or a Rennaisance or one of the other controllers?

I can't wait for a Maschine 2.0 I'm hoping for some incredible features (I'd kill for kontakts time stretch pro algorithm to be built into maschines sampler)

You can do the same thing you just explained in ableton that deals with their plugins, your presets, effect racks, etc etc etc. With the Maschine you really only have control over their own products (NI vsts).

Now that I have pretty much said good bye to Soft Synths, the very last whos going bye bye now is Massive (I have just purchased a Moog Voyager). Now the only useful aspect of the maschine is the performance part.

I think the maschine is great if you are a native instruments VST owner above and beyond, or intend to use it soley for live performance or you enjoy the complete ITB production solution

Oops. I meant Maschine MKII. My bad.
