Don't forget over 1Gb new content......

I think it may be time to sell my maxed-out MPC2kxl and trade up toward Maschine (provided I can find a student discount).

Does anybody here use it live?

really? Is that new since official release or was that included with the beta? Haven't had chance to download yet and won't until tomorrow.

Is there anybody out there that makes something else than hip-hop / rn'B with MPC like Maschines.
If so i'd be interessed to hear your feelings about it
and maybe share some tunes ...

I make electro house techno breakbeat stuff with the maschine and it's uber cool

Some nice new additional content I see after checking the site! Maschine versions of Abbey road drums amongst other stuff...

Me.

Personally, I love the thing. For a couple examples of what I do with Maschine, you could try this or maybe this or this or...

More info on the 1.5 update with videos:

Game over

Question to Ew

I just got Maschine and on the front it says new version with additional content, it was the older version and updated to the latest beta, but is the new 1Gb content only with the 1.5 update?

Oh and hurry up integrating Maschine into Traktor Pro and Visa versa

You need to download the additional content.

Is MASCHINE useful for anything apart from "making beats"?

I'm trying to catergorise this by using a genre of music, but I fear I would start a genre war of some sort.

I guess, I mean, is it useful for things other than "Fundamental electronic music"?
