NI just announced that Maschine will support VST/AU plugin Hosting.
“The next big step for Maschine will be… VST/AU plugin hosting! You can expect this in the free V1.6 update early 2011.”
This was an official post on the Maschine FB page a few hours ago.
Anyone who couldn’t decide whether to get Maschine vs. another ‘similar’ product should consider this very powerful feature when weighing their options.
they should get battery kit import sorted first. if you’re planning a serious live set, you’ll end up using maschine as a plugin anyway for downmixing alone… kinda defeats the purpose of incorporating VST host features.
I sort of agree with Kore as being a waste. It’s a great way to demo a lot of different sounds but when it comes down to recording anything I get lost. The software doesn’t have the quick workflow of Maschine.
Back to Maschine if they’re doing VST hosting then surely time stretching has gotta be coming. That’s a bigger feature request then vst hosting. If they can get that down into a nice simple way that works well with the Maschine controller I’ll be in heaven. Now that the S4 is out too this is probably more wanted then ever.
