![]() And no screens on the micro defeats the purpose for me. But yeah, that extra $50 definitely deterred me that much more. The convenience of not going back & forth is why I considered the MK3. I've gotten to used to my custom finger drumming layout to do it any other way. Even when I'm all VIs, I use my Live as a controller for drums. Yeah, playing drums on a keyboard is a no go for me. Having so many NI and 3rd party NKS VIs, I could see the MK3 fitting in. ![]() If the Maschine software came with my 12U upgrade, I could test it out with the KK and maybe consider the MK3 more seriously. UnreallOK, I started with 11U and upgraded to 12U. Unreallystic wrote: Bezo wrote:You got Maschine (software) included with KK? I must've bought too soon. Was waiting on NAMM, but no reason to hold back now. I've also been in a music equipment holding pattern, I bought too much stuff when I went hardware crazy, it was OK when I was building out a second studio, but that plan has been changed and I only have one studio, and one "Live-DAWless Performance" rig, so I have a bunch of equipment sitting there that I am going to just eat my losses on, and flip for one large purchase, was leaning towards the Jupiter-X, thought about that Fantom-7 *despite my objection to the price*, and Moog Matriarch. ![]() though she moved to LA *boo hiss*) I felt if I was investing, I should go ahead and get the full meat and potatoes (which is why I played around with Maschine). I thought about getting a micro, but after listening to Sarah2Hill (NORTH CAROLINA!. Only reason I haven't done it was they slapped a $50 price mark-up on the regular Maschine, and I felt "attacked" I refuse to pay $650 for something they were selling for $600. I could do it, but buying even a Micro feels worth the price for drums, especially since I used Battery so much these days. I started looking at the Maschine (dammit it is not a typo, stop underlining it Windows) when I got real hot and heavy into Komplete, my S61 has the two screens for navigating the VSTs in Kontrol, but I absolutely, positively, HATE playing drums out on a keyboard, its like two steps better than banging my head on the floor for drum sounds, so it was feeling kind of weird navigating back and forth in my setup between browsing with my S61 on the left, then looking to the middle/in front of me where the Push is to play in drums with no scales on, while guessing what was what as I didn't have the color coding to match. I don't see it on the website *strange* - just the Maschine Drum Selection, but yeah I have Komplete 9U, 12UCE, a S49, and a S61mk2 (and DJ stuff) - and I'm positive that I got Maschine with 12UCE.I doubt it was through my S61mk2, and I didnt buy it separately. I believe the MK3 works in KK (software) like the KK S works in Maschine (software). The one benefit would be easier interaction with my NKS drum & percussion VIs in my DAW. On rare occasions, I do travel with my Live, and I'm trying to dedicate myself to Studio One, so I doubt I'd go with an MK3. Being a heavy Kontakt/KK user and having since ditched the MPC software, I sometimes wonder what the KK/Maschine combo would be like. But I was attempting to eliminate a 3rd party DAW, so it must've been something with the software. I forget now what steered me away from Maschine (it wasn't the lack of standalone). I strongly considered Maschine MK3 before deciding on the MPC. ![]() Bezo wrote:You got Maschine (software) included with KK? I must've bought too soon.
