I also don't think that it's really fair to call Saurus a member of NI PR - he seemed to be a much bigger fan of Jeremy Ellis than of Maschine (he plays MPCs too, anyway) and wasn't hyperbolic like NI typically is about either. (e.g. "MASSIVE is a sonic monster – the ultimate synth for basses and leads")
LOL when I didn't throw a bitch fit about the F1 I was accused of working for NI too
I agree realistically you would need large pads & them to be velocity sensative in order to finger drum successfully. Not to say it's impossible to recreate something similiar on the launchpad. Maybe your just the guy to make it work.
