New Maschine MKII revealed! - Full pics and details

[delicioso]

So... is anybody upgrading?

I am. RGB pads are going to be immense for the already amazing workflow, especially for live.

I'm thinking about it. I'm not afraid to sound like an artiste and admit that 'I need to figure out what my music is about' before investing in the new Maschine.

I couldn't resist. I picked up an mk1. It actually compliments the MachineDrum quite nice.

Sounds interesting - can you explain this further?

Is the workflow like resampling? or sound design for recording and looping automation ?

I just got a MK1 about two months ago. I really like it. I can't wait to see it develop (unlike Ableton, which just stays the same lol)

Oh damn. My new fun game is to scroll through samples with preview on and record all the weird noises that it makes!!!!!

Maschine's just a way of incorporating more samples. I also have an Octatrack, but you ony get 7 or 8 tracks of samples out of that.

I have this whole setup midi slaved to Ableton. I'm considering going completely hardware by getting an MPC (old one, 2000xl's go for like $300 on CL here).

That's some retro throwback shit to the 90's but I'm not a professional producer and probably will never be one so I got no problem making beats the way I want to, the old school way. There's no incentive for me to use the newest samples on the newest software, if you get what I'm saying. Been there, done that - hardware is funner

The free 1.8 update is now available, by the way.

Love the way timestretch/pitchshift was implemented:
