The Maschine is an MPC emulator with the additional function of being able to trigger soft synths or control a DAW. :lol: No, sorry bud. Nice try but Maschine is NOT an "MPC emulator with the additional function of being able to trigger soft synths or control a DAW". Maschine is a groundb...

@humnumb That's weird, I thought this thread was fairly critical of the Push seeing as how it's filled with people asking for things that they feel should have been included. I should have added: "According to SuburbanThug (insert your favorite Push troll here: deva/skatr2/panten...etc.),"

If you are just visiting this thread you should know that it is actually the "Why you should buy a Push/You may only say positive things about Push and anyone pointing out glaring omissions/limitations will be immediately labeled a troll" thread. Post accordingly.

I really don't wanna get all into Komplete and that whole clusterfuck of devices and shit. It's good stuff I'm sure but theres no way I'd be able to learn all of it and honestly it would just be overwhelming. Having Maschine as the interface for anything in Komplete helps a ton since it effectively...

I wouldn't know how anyone could sensibly automatically select the right performance/tweaking controls that make everyone happy. Kore had that, but that was because NI owned the platform as well as the plugs. Yeah, Maschine has that with Komplete as well. Maschine's automapping has been even more i...

As much as I liked Maschine, I don't think, it allowed you to define and save custom control mappings for 3rd party plugins "Kore style", or did I miss that ? You did miss it. Maschine does allow you to define and save custom control mappings for 3rd party plugins and save that as the def...

- Can't take MIDI in Wrong. Maschine does take MIDI in. :roll: -limited ins/outs (ie, can't tell every separate group in Maschine to send to its own channe in Live) Wrong again. Maschine has 16 stereo outputs (32 outputs) and supports as many inputs as your audio interface has. You can very easily ...

The newer version is called MEGAmaschine++ – A work-flow oriented Maschine template for Ableton Live: http://megatroid.com/megamaschine/ " * 3 selectable pad modes. Toggle between using the pads for firing scenes, clips, or MIDI notes. Features the ‘red box’ like the APC & Launchpad. * Navi...

m4l dont know what that means :( He's saying that's not possible unless you buy an additional product called Max for Live and hope that some uber geek has already hacked together a patch for Max for Live that may do what you want. I think a much easier and sensible solution to get the type of hardw...

how do you actually change the step pitch from Push? You can't automate step parameters from Push: "We don't have per step automation of devices (also known as parameter lock)" https://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?p=1445659#p1445659 You may want to take a look at Maschine which can do ...

Anyway I was wondering if it were possible to freely assign the 8 knobs on Push to control or automate various parameters such as: 1.) a cutoff filter on a third party synth or 2.) a macro knob on a rack I made Is this possible with push? To use the knobs like a standard midi controller where you j...

Maschine is cool if you're a finger drummer or into hip-hop A rather short-sighted misconception there... Maschine is still cool even if you're not doing hiphop or finger drumming.
