Tried watching videos on that Maschine thing. Skipped the intro so that I could actually find something out about it, and instead was greeted with three comedy shorts. This really shows what kind of a market native instruments is going for with this peripheral. Fourth video in and they start to describe what it is. Looks like an mpc that you need to plug into a computer. The first two lines are taken out of the mpc marketing books. I kind of lost patience with the whole thing and closed the page.
Sickened by the whole event, I went to the bathroom to slash my wrists.

And how is that good news for music? The only person who seems to benefit from it at all is your mom, who can finally sleep knowing that I won't be sneaking into her room while shes asleep to have sex with her.

what do i have to do with 14 gigs of pre mastered 'never heard before' samples (808, 909, sh-16) including RnB :/ Other than that, i think we're more and more getting away from entirely computer based music again with external controllers and, y'know, physical things that we can hold, press, turn knobs on, and spill coffee on. I would know a soul or two who would need that motu bpm thing, but i dunno... Do we really need another device that forces you to make generic drum-bass-melody-music, because it makes access to basics so incredibly easy? I doubt any music-head on this board would need such a thing.
But atleast it's not worse than that laser thing...

Maschine looks to me like a clever way to overcome the memory and display limitations of the MPC, leveraging something most musicians already have (the compy) and to release similar functionality at a lower price point.
Moan about the conventionality if you like, but no one is better than NI at integrated software/hardware packages. If it's as deep as their other products, bricks will be shat when clever musicians get their hands on it.
also i desperately want to finger its candy nobs

Its EXACTLY like an mpc except it has a plugin that allows you to edit patterns on a computer. Thats the only thing its overcoming, is the fact that the mpc doesn't have a plugin.
Everything they showed on the videos I have seen show an mpc in a different package, except you can't edit your samples with it.
