Ok....NI Maschine...

[Halukar]

it does but there are a lot of hoops to jump through, i have full benefits so i get it all back anyways.

on a side note, where are you in AB?

i love my maschine and had a ton of trouble deciding if i wanted one. heres my thoughts

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
