Can I set Maschine as a midi keyboard for Studio drummer to then record my actions into Ableton Live?

I want to insert a drum sequence from Studio drummer into Ableton & then record some additional drums into the same part by using Maschine as the Midi keyboard.

Is there a way to do this?

Yeah I know where your coming from. The more I do my research the more Intel keeps popping up.

I thought I could get an AMD same spec cheaper price but it's not as straight forward as that & Intel seem to beat AMD on most benchmarks.

I think I will rethink my cpu & look at intel, from ...

I need to get a new PC on a budget and have been looking at AMD Phenom & AMD Llana (FM1 socket).


My budget for motherboard & processor is approx £250.

I want to make it future proof by having 4 slots DDR3, USB 3.0 & SATA 3.

Also, I want to be able to connect a 32" led tv along with my existing ...

I dont understand?

Are you saying the processor & motherboard dont match?

Do you know what would be compatible?

I would like usb3 (for future proof), AMD processor X4 or similar, 4 dimm slots of DDR3 & HDMI graphics card.

I need to upgrade my PC for approx £240.

This is the spec I have been looking at and would be installing it in my current case.

1. AM3 Motherboard- USB3 AMD Socket AM3 8 Channel HD Audio ATX Motherboard (£60)
2. 2 x 4gb DDR3 (£50)
3. Processor- AMD Athlon II X4 640 Socket AM3 3GHz 2MB L2 Cache ...

Would I be stupid to use my APC40 along side the maschine or should I replace the APC with something else because I really like using the clip launch, track/solo buttons & knobs for devices and was hoping they would work well together.


Does anyone have both in their setup?

Where in the uk can I ...

After watching numerous videos on Youtube. I've decided that I would be foolish not to get a Maschine..

These look amazing for creativity & looks you can make your samples or beats in Maschine then export them into Ableton.

Does anyone use one with Live?

Can someone give me some feedback please ...

Is it worth me getting a maschine for beat programming, DJing & producing etc to use with Ableton if I already have an APC40 or should I just get a padkontrol?

I've heard the maschine is really good but is that mainly with its own software?

I am looking for a 2 to 3 octave keyboard to go with my setup.

I have an APC40 along with a soon to be purchased padkontrol.

The main purpose would be for DJ mixes, remixing & mastering.

Looking to spend no more than £200 & would prefer plenty of control for Ableton Live.

I have been looking at ...

OK, You guys win. I will go with the Korg, .

It does seem a lot better on youtube.

Just got to find a decent controller.

Thanks again guys...

Thanks guys but I was hoping for some support on the MPD, seems like korg win hands down.

If I was to mod the MPD pads would the Akai win then & what would I use the Korg xy pad for in programming?

I'm trying my hardest to defend the MPD because I have an APC40 and think the quality is very good ...

I forgot to mention that I will be doing all round music production & dj mixes but want program my own beats. I quite like the look of the MPK beside the APC but not sure if I would achieve the same as with an MPD.

Are the pads on the MPK smaller than the MPD and what functions have been ...

I want to start making my own beats with a bit more control other than using just the APC40 alone.

Ideally I would like a drum controller (mpd32) & a separate keyboard controller but have seen the MPK which has both.

My shortlist consists of AKIA MPD 26/32, MPK25, KORG Padkontrol, ROLAND A-300 PRO ...
