NI maschine MKII !!

What are the chances that NI will sell a hardware upgrade? Slim to none you guys think? I would definitely throw in some extra cash for the upgrade then sell the old model for 200 or whatever.

Looks nice! The only thing I don't like is fact they removed three knobs from older model and replace it with one big... WTF...

Now that i've seen the video, its pretty and all but i don't see much of a diffrence really except the big browser knob and since all maschine users get 1.8 and massive its just kinda for pretty colors.

This! Apparently it's of the click type they use in all their hardware. I'm not planning on selling mine and upgrading at all but it seemed like a quite odd move from NI.

Looking at the bright side, they might push HID for the mkii to control the remix decks in Traktor now that it has RGB pads.

How much for that piece of art?

I'm actually in the same exact boat. I don't get why they would do that, since if you use Maschine as a midi controller you'll have more knobs to map to different parameters, where as now there's only one big one.

I'm pretty glad that I have insurance on mine and it recently started acting up. I'm going to wait for a month then return it and i'm sure they'll have to replace the entire unit, so i'll switch it out for the new one .

Good luck with that.

I think NI should give the option to buy just the controller. Seems unfair after supporting maschine since the beginning to have to pay full price for software I already own

everyone gets pissed after a NI 50% sale, next is Komplete. Pretty LED's and a giant knob. Ill wait til the beta 1.8 to see what the scoop is all about.

looks pretty awesome to me - i'm swayed by the pretty coloured lights glad i didn't buy a maschine i the sale now, i'll def be getting a new maschine in a couple of months tho (assuming it's out by then)
