This is the piece of gear I have been waiting to find for decades now. It’s essentially an MPC (1000, 2000 etc) that connects and integrates directly with your computer (your computer is doing the work, the Maschine interface is just a USB controller that has custom functions for Maschine.) You can run Maschine in Stand Alone mode – which is my preferred method – which allows you to use Maschine as the center of your studio – connect audio ins/outs, samples, external midi gear, effects.. then it’s got internal effects, sounds, beats, kits, a SICK sequencer, note repeat and one of the easiest workflows to learn of all music gear on the market. Maschine also runs as a plug-in (for Ableton, Logic, Cubase, etc.) and comes with stock templates to use your Maschine controller as (for instance) an Ableton LIve master controller with transport control, clip control, levels, mutes, etc. (This feature has kept me from craving a launchpad or apc40.)

Maschine comes with an incredible sound library, it’s dead simple to make beats, simple to sequence (anything), simple to sample (anything), easy to chop samples (by transients/sensitivity, by time, by tempo and by rhythm (1/6th notes for instance). Its got enough (solid) sounds and effects that you could make an album with nothing but this piece of kit. As of version 1.6 Maschine allows you to use VST plug ins inside the program. With VST integration you can use effects or instruments and they can be applied to individual sounds, to groups, or to the master. Flexibility of routing and the number of VSTs really depends on your computer’s power but I haven’t had very many crashes. Because your computer runs as the processor your limit of samples and sequences is almost limitless with today’s computer hardware.

I’ve created music in reason, ableton, cubase, hardware, grooveboxes, synths… and Maschine is one of the most fun instruments / production studios I’ve ever used. I now go to maschine first to begin compositions or sketch ideas. It’s fast and (oh yeah) — I forgot to mention the best part. In stand-alone mode you almost NEVER have to touch a mouse or look at your computer screen. You’ll type for saving track names or you may drag files in/out with the mouse.. but otherwise you’ll be performing with the pads and knobs and ignoring your computer screen. This is a massive WIN in my book.This is the piece of gear I have been waiting to find for decades now.
