shaunk’s Custom Maschine with detailed skin and DJTT Chroma knobs
I’m in the midst of putting the final touches on my live set-up (which I hope to share with everyone soon), but I just wanted to reveal the beating heart behind the whole rig first and foremost.
It’s something I’ve taken to calling the SIXX Maschine, and the artwork is taken from my band’s first single.
Credit goes to the awesome artists, Kristal Melson and Eric Foenander. I just rearranged the elements for my Maschine.
Thanks, I’ve got my eye on them too cos though I think the Maschine pads are the best around, I’d still like to squeeze some extra sensitivity out of them.
I’m just holding out for some initial user impressions before I shell out for some.
the pads feel great ( i dont have them or a maschine, but my friend- who is into production- got them for his maschine mikro) they come with a sensitivity uograde thing he said and they feel so much better, garunteed.
I just noticed an air pocket around the lower pads that I can’t seem to get rid of..it just gets shifted to another spot every time I try to press it out. It’s small, but still.
Word of caution then, to be really careful when applying the skin around the pads. Maybe I should have waited till daytime and good lighting to apply the skin but I was too excited about it last night.
Edit: I managed to lift off the bottom third of the main faceplate and smooth out the air pocket. Figured that even if the skin doesn’t stick as good as the first time, at least it’s just 1/3 of it. But it seems to be fine!
I would love me some wood trim but I can’t get the elevated ones as my live rig won’t allow room for the vertical elevation of my Maschine, and Tempo Records no longer make the non-elevated version.
im guessing its NOT from styleflip because as far as i can see on their site you only get 1 peice of skin for the very face, not the elevated top and bottom lips… as far as i can tell anyway.
