Midi Fighter Or Machine!
Hello!
I am thinking about either the machine Mk2 or the midi fighter spectra/3d. Dont know which one I should get.
I want to make beats that me or other people can sing to, and I want to jam to music. And just make music and have fun and make beats that other people can sing to or myself 
Which one fits me?
Maschine. Midifighters are cool, but i think you could do way more with Maschine.
+1 Maschine mk2.
There’s an awesome deal on right now where you get all the expansion for free, so now’s a better time than ever to get one.
The MF is only a controller, the maschine is a complete software and hardware package.
Okay, thanks for the help. Maschine mk2 it is
Where can I find that deal?
Ships with free copy the ever popular synth, Massive (a $200 value).
Oh, is it that you mean?
No, Massive always ships with Maschine now. Just buy Maschine from NI and you’ll get 6 expansion packs free (normally $50 each):

Go for Maschine!
machine for sure. or if you’re feeling adventurous go mpc. i’m a fan of akai and most their products.. well thats my 2 cents
haha i have the maschine and the mf3d. id say go with what your going to use it in. if you make music get the midi fighter for ableton, or better yet push. if you do sampling get the maschine. if you use traktor get the midi fighter. the mashine is pretty much only good for chopping stuff up IE sampling, or playing live.
Maschine.
Maschine! With the expansion deal going on right now you’re gonna have a pretty big arsenal of samples AND synth (massive) presets.
Making beats and sampling on the Maschine is so simple and actually quite liberating. Having started as a “point & click” guy, with a background as a musician using the Maschine was a revelation for me. It really does play like an instrument and you can get pretty deep with it and find you’ve spent two hours just jamming and making tracks.
I really need to buy one.
@Kwal, talk to Botstein, he’s the resident “Maschine Man”. I’ve been separated from mine for the past 2 months and wont be reunited with it until September. But man it’s a great piece of maschine-ery (lol get it?) There are tonnes of YT vids/tuts and it’s pretty powerful. Even without hardware you can still point and click, which I’ve been doing for the last little while but having it in front of you with the pads and knobs it’s pretty powerful.
Yeah - as much as NI’s gear can get sometimes get expensive and quirky, they run some insane deals like the Maschine expansion deal you mentioned.
Nice!
NICE! Yeah, I’m around and happy to talk Maschine.
Nice!
Hey guys, im going to buy it soon. Just wondering, I only the need the machine mk2 it self right? I dont need Komplete or something else? And it is Machine Mk2 right?
It’s spelled Maschine, but yeah. Maschine comes with Komplete Elements and Massive (the synthesizer), which in combination with Maschine’s library, is a lot.
Yupp that’s all you need to “Buy”
It ships with Komplete Elements (quite a bit to get you started)
And Serial for Massive (despite it’s popularity in the EDM scene, this synth is far from played out)
I suggest you play around with it for a bit. See what you want. I would personally like to add a small midi controller to my Maschine set-up and once I finally settle down somewhere and audio-interface to sample from vinyls. I am also separated from my TT and vinyl collection at the moment.
it has a midi in/out too so you could plug in your midi keyboard or something to use its synths and stuff
Sweet! Perfect time to buy now aswell cause of the sick expansion deal! Im buying it tomorrow
Ordered last Friday a white Maschine MK2 with the maschine stand and the red custom kit. Should be here tomorrow or Wednesday so pumped!!!
