Man! I thought this was a great tip. I did not know how to do this, good vid. And if this is ski, your website link is broken and the tutorial on how to sample using warping was a huge improvement to my work flow.

nice modded casing

nice case.
But what he does doens´t require a maschine.
Just use any (better: velocity sensitive) pad controller like akais lpd, mpd, mpk or without velocitysens launchpad and chop the files.

You're not making any sense. The whole point of the video was to show how to sample from mp3s via Ableton Live into Maschine, so Maschine was required for what he's doing in the video.

I saw how he turned the knobs to edit the chop length inside of maschine.
But thats the point. you can do it with live.
I would like to know if the mp3 was just copied over vst-plugin-stream into the cache of maschine or if maschine is able to control the mp3 chop settings
directly in live

Maschine's sample chopping control is a lot more precise. It is 100% standalone with no need to use your computer monitor. You can visually see the waveform on the controller. This is a feature that a lot of people find convenient. The downside is that Maschine does not do MP3 format (although, I could care less, I'm not much of a fan of mp3 format myself ).

What it comes down to is, as the other poster mentioned, the intention of Ski's vid is to give people some insight on his favorite method of bringing mp3 audio into Maschine for further editing (without need for loopback software or using physical plugs).

Once a sample is put into Maschine, you can slice it to all sorts of pads, in all sorts of spots (and rather tightly to the transients), and add various fx or edit gating/polyphony etc. All without touching or looking at your computer.

And then it is a really nicely playable hardware also

So yeah, you really can't emulate this using strictly Ableton Live, for the time being.

I don't know how other similar vst's work out in comparison though??

The whole point of Maschine is being able to do everything from the hardware controller. It has the fastest workflow of any software environment period. It's an instrument. You can browse, load, sample, slice, mangle all with just the controller itself. You can't do that with Live or any software in existence, period.
