NI 50% off summer discounts on upgrades/upgrades (Producer line)
Sounds like they’ll release something big soon… I bet on Maschine 2.0 
Ableton has a fat discount too for the next 3 days, maybe Ableton 9 ain’t that far (crosses fingers)
I don’t think we’ll get Maschine 2 as the only thing needing development is the software. Komplete 8 probably.
no.
no.
yes.
dear NI: fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, fuck no.
Komplete 8 already? nah, I wouldn’t think so, Komplete 7 have been released in September/october… less than 1 year…
Oh well… who knows… time will tell.
Well they are shunting Kore out of the way and making Maschine the focus of everything so I guess the Maschine 1.7 update could see some big changes to their product line.
an upgraded Maschine controller with it’s own audio interface and possibly a few faders would be nice. I wish there was a way to put Maschine as a channel in Kontrol S4, it really mucks up the flow.
@rdej47… everyone who has a Maschine controller already has a soundcard that they’ve bought to reflect what they need. There is no way you’d please more than a low percentage of the userbase even with several SKUs.
This, besides it would be useless in a studio environment.
I agree Maschine is a studio tool that a few DJ’s have adapted to use in the field.
Basically maschine with 8 faders on top would make me hold my money on puchasing a maschine right now.

It wouldn’t be useless, but either you’re a project studio that’s better off using Maschine as a plugin or you’re using much better converters than NI is going to bother putting on any of its stuff. I sure as hell would rather up a CPU load that doesn’t matter anyway than run NI’s converters into an Apogee, SSL, or even Avid A/D. And, seriously, what else can really run Maschine external? What else do people have sitting around with 16 inputs?
Actually, that’d be kinda cool…running it into something like a studiolive or some analog desk would be a fun live rig. I just don’t think it’s actually necessary.
Random question: is there a Komplete upgrade from Maschine? If there is, the 50% off might actually make me get off my @$$ and get the Maschine I’ve been wanting for a while. I keep playing with it in Guitar Center and convincing myself that I don’t need to spend the money.
@mostapha… no upgrade to Komplete from Maschine… at the moment. When they released 1.6 they gave away Komplete Elements for free. It looks as though 1.7 integrates NI VST/AUs more completely like Kore. I would not be surprised if NI offer a discount on Komplete for Maschine owners when that is releaseed… it would certainly tempt me do buy it
I think they should release Trakor Pro 3 with no upgrade path just to fuck with everyone.
Final Scratch not dead.
