New Maschine Studio and Maschine 2.0 Update

[panten]

..if you're going to sit your controller under your computer screen anyway then why spend a grand on a controller (where most of the money is obviously paying for those screens) when you could get a MK2 or Mikro, with all the functionality at less than half the cost.

I couldn't agree more. I've changed my tune, those screens seem like an indulgence tbh.

You got a bad case of the GAS delicious

Do you really need this overpriced piece of hardware? Why not invest that grand in a nice big monitor.

10. Realize a lot of gas is just bragging rights

I ordered Maschine Studio two days ago : )

Ditto, plus I got $100.00 at the check out with a coupon code and free shipping too!

Maschine Studio XL 5.0 will have a 21 inch screen and a trackpad...

I'm betting when Push 2 comes with a larger color screen, and a few other whizz bang items, there will be those pre-ordering and those bashing it. "That's Just The Way It Is"- Bruce Hornsby

Additional new features of Maschine 2.0 listed here: http://www.native-instruments.com/en/ma ... -maschine/

Improved Arranger View now displays pattern lengths in the Scene Arranger. Ghost patterns are automatically displayed so you see which patterns in each scene are repeating
Cue Channel lets you audition sounds when browsing and sampling, and create and pre-listen to entire patterns before sending them to the master bus – an ultra-powerful feature when using MASCHINE live.
New Feedback Compressor based on a vintage classic features ultra-fast attack and analog-like warmth. Perfect for capturing drum and percussion transients other compressors might miss.
New Plate Reverb is a versatile reverb capable of sounds ranging from bright to dark with a light metallic quality. Great for snares and vocals and the perfect complement MASCHINE’s Classic Reverb.
Improved looping functionality lets you set loop ranges independent of scene loop ranges
Auto-Follow Mode keeps the cursor on the exact point in the song playing – identify sounds and make adjustments quickly and easily without having to scroll through your track to find the current playback position.
Time Display gives you accurate time measurement in minutes and seconds.
Scene and Pattern Manager for intuitive scene swapping and changing.
Improved Step Sequencer now with feedback on the displays and velocity triggering.
Gate Function lets you adjust the length of repeated notes when using the note repeat function.
Multiple Sound Editing lets you edit parameters across several sounds at once for increased efficiency.
Multiple Group Editing lets you edit parameters across several groups at once.
Macro Controls are now also available on sound and master levels, as well as groups.
Choke Group and Pad Link now on one screen for ultimate convenience
Enhanced Choke Group Functionality lets you choke sounds across groups and now even allows you to choke plug-in with a sound – incredible power and flexibility.
Improved Undo Functionality now gives you the ability to undo and redo an entire take at once
Customizable Metronome lets you load your own metronome sounds
Improved Sampler Mapping gives you enhanced overview of all parameters with a list of all samples for easy access
Independent Macro Controls on selected groups.

You can now have mute groups that work across different groups which is a nice welcome surprise.

The user interface looks to have been completed re-designed as well:

You guys are too advanced for me!!!!

Viva la maschiney 2.0!

The software itself sounds like a fantastic upgrade, I just have no gear lust for the new hardware whatsoever.
Might pick up a second hand MkI or MKII.
