Why use machine in ableton, if you can use Push?

[Sanny]

You could always get a drum machine or sampler and have that hooked up to a channel of it's own. With an audio interface with MIDI out, you could potentially sync it too.

Model suggestions? :-)

Roland TR-8 if you're looking for the closest thing to an 808/909.

If you're looking for something cheaper and smaller, the KORG Volca Beats is a fun little unit to play with.

i just bought a second hand arturia sparkle, curious if i like it, downside its just a controller for a software based program, though it should work just fine along side and synced to traktor

I know the tr-8, but not clear to me it has the option to use one button to create a rhythm. It seems to me that you need to press the buttons on the exact location in the sequence row.

Maschine and push has that option. To use the sequence and to us it as a fingerdrum.

Or am I wrong by saying this about the tr-8?

It kind of does.

If you press the 'Inst Rec' button each drum hit is assigned to each of the 16 buttons so you can play it live in a way similar to maschine. However I don't think the buttons are velocity sensitive.

Life would be much easier if we saw an easy Maschine/Traktor integration - I think NI would get more people as well jumping on the Maschine bandwagon as it would make life so much easier....(doubt it'll happen any time soon )

Yeah I'd love that, Something kind of like ableton and serato did with the bridge but hopefully a bit more popular. I'd gladly sacrifice a track deck if the signal from maschine could be sent out of it. I should point out that I don't own maschine at the moment but would buy one if they did this

I would never give up the 4th deck. :-)

Until I have the cash for a xone 92 and a separate interface for maschine it's a sacrifice I'd be prepared to make.

You van have a drum sequencer in traktor with the midi fighter twister. :-)
