what other answers do you expect with this kind of question.. search the forum 
the other answer would be: I want one but can’t afford it yet (me)
@weltraumpapst…ye guess u are right.
Just trying to figure out whether its right for me…hard to know before you buy it
i absolutely love mine, and i also have a S4 which it works with perfectly
Another possible answer is I’m supposed get my tax refund this weekend and this is high on the list.
that reminds me i was supposed to lodge my return in july… 
Mine is going to wisdom teeth extraction… thank god for full benefits.
it’s pretty high on the list, after playing with it at a shop it’s one of those things that you can use forever… and for almost everything.
You’re Canadian, doesn’t our healthcare help with that? I thought mine did in Alberta…
it does but there are a lot of hoops to jump through, i have full benefits so i get it all back anyways.
on a side note, where are you in AB?
Ah okay, thats good.
I’m in Edmonton.
i love my maschine and had a ton of trouble deciding if i wanted one. heres my thoughts
pros:
incredibly intuitive.
within the first 20 minutes you can have a beat written and be working on a lead line. NI have some great tutorials on youtube and the program and controller go together better than any other i have experienced.
you can use it with other software.
i have mine set up for ableton when i want to mix electro, i have it set for traktor with my own custom mapping(which is SO easy don’t let anyone tell you otherwise) for everything else. I have done sets using only my mashcine
it makes an MPC affordable and better
its like a drum machine on steroids and has an extensive library of sounds that is extremely customizable. and its cheap compared to most mpcs.
cons:
not that many people have it so if you are looking for help on a specific issue( such as how to make a dubstep wobble) you won’t find much help so therefore its a pretty on your own type of program.
in conclusion:
get it. if you have any questions specifically please ask. it is the best thing i have purchased for DJing and makes production amazing.
Girlfriend gave me a Maschine for christmas.
Constantly being amazed by what i can do with it!
And with 1.6 released now supporting VST and 16 channel output .. well, i can see some pretty amazing things happening with it 
Only had mine for about a month and love it. Just downloaded 1.6 so going to try it out now
Love my Maschine!
Wow thanks for all your input guys.
especially @tristancary…you have made me realise its for me 
Definitely top of my list of my next pay cheque
glad i could help! let us know how you like maschine when you get one. i started leaving all my controllers at home and just bringing maschine. its fantastic
Really!!!
Do you not feel you need more there?
Really? Care to share your mappings with me / us? <3
