Actually the OSX version of Maschine has always had virtual MIDI In/Out ports.

You can save plugins as Maschine modules and organize with tags.

Just saw this "Cloud Nine" expansion offer from NI in my inbox. You can get 9 Maschine expansions for $99/€99 in the next 99 hours, ending at 3 pm CET on Friday, May 17: http://www.native-instruments.com/en/sp ... loud-nine/

I would just add that (for me) another of Ableton's strong points is its flawless integration of time stretching into the workflow.

Also has the cool formant filters and band...

Have a look at LPC Ditto if you already have a Launchpad.

I quite like the Transistor Punch expansion for the FX chains. Highly recommended.
