Got it.
Best thing is that I can export project from iMaschine to the Maschine.
Nice little app. Great as sketchpad.

Downloading it now. Something tells me I might not be getting to bed until late late late tonight playing with this.

wee bit annoying and crap that you can't record the automation of tweaking effects while recording :(

nice sketchpad and great having so much control over the pads. that's where nano studio falls down.
but nano studio is a far better overall app. and considering nano studio is made by 1 guy!!!

i did expect a wee bit more from NI here.

Really having a lot of fun with this app.

It's not the most full-featured drum sequencer on the planet, but it's great for what it set out to be - a sketchpad.

Pros:

- The sounds are great, with a wide selection of both classic and ultra-modern sounds. You can buy more sound packs in the in-app store. You can also record your own sounds with the iPhone's mic.

- Really cool features: it offers 4 groups, each with its own volume control and 2 sends (7 fx to choose from). Each group can hold a drumpad, synth or sampler. The drumpad offers pitch and velocity control for individual sounds.

- Slick-looking, intuitive interface. Took me 5 minutes to get the hang of everything. (I wonder if the Maschine is this easy to get into)

- You can export your projects into .wav or straight to your soundcloud account. And also to your Maschine, though I don't know how this works. (Would be great if Maschine owners could shed light on this)

Cons:

- No step sequencer. Bizarre.

- No iPad app. (It looks pixelated on the iPad if you blow it up to full-screen, but it's not that bad. In fact, I found the iPad experience to be more pleasurable, since everything is bigger and so easier to tweak/tap)

It's not exactly a gateway drug to Maschine, but for $5, it's a great buy.

Installed it and having a play - I have to ask - WTF didnt they do a proper version for the iPad????

And OT - just bought Alchemy pro for the iPad as well - pretty impressive - just wish there was a way to sync it with imaschine.
Nothing to see here - move along!

I hope that they will do an iMassive to run along with the iMaschine :D

The iMachine looks like a fun scetch pad to use in the bus. I have Nano Studio, but to be honest i haven't been using it a lot lately.. iMaschine looks that it is more suited for quick on-the-go creation. NS takes too damn much of pinching, zooming and losing my temper :D

I'm going to give it a go.

Not seeing the point of this unless you're singer or something. Works for this guy, obviously. NanoStudio pretty much does 95% of this anyway.

Must be nice to be in bed with the wife/GF all day. Those NI endorsement checks must be HUGE. LOL.

It's a no brainer for Maschine users.
