Nonsense. Try recording realtime modulation into pattern clips, for one. And there's no controller + Live combo that can give you the level of integration between hardware and software like Maschine.

Most of the improvements listed there are to do with the 1.8 software update.

And with the increased sensitivity of the new pads, you also have a new level of precision at your fingertips.

The Master section has been redesigned. Control volume, tempo and swing with the new multifunction master push encoder – select modes with the new toggle buttons and accurately click through values without having to look at the screen or display.

Navigating and scrubbing are much easier, and changing note pitch and detailed tweaking becomes extra-precise thanks to the encoder’s superb physical response.

Now with 47 white, backlit click-buttons and colored transport controls, the Mk2 hardware provides a wealth of physical and visual excitement for intuitive beat making.
