As to why to use Push AND Maschine:
Primarily for the content, I do have quite some content from NI. How do you use the Maschine kits directly in drumracks ? don't u have to rebuild kit by kit (not even talking about existing effects on the kits), how is this not a workflow killer ?
The second use case is harmonic/melodic. How can I load a Razor preset directly from hardware and tweak the parameters ?
I am treating Maschine as a plugin which comes with its own hardware controller, in the same way that people have been using Geist, Guru or other drum plugins within Live. So my "controller" is basically bigger (Push + Maschine), but it doesn't change the mouseless aspect, and I am not using overlapping features. So why did it impact your workflow ?
But maybe I am missing an important point here.
