What is your opinion re: the samples provided by NI Maschine? I'm looking to get some new samples appropriate for tech house, minimal, and techno. A friend of mine recommended the Maschine, saying that he never uses the controller but loves the samples (and their flexibility).

The samples are very good, has a huge library, and would work very well for all those genres plus everything from pop/rock to hiphop, although I tend to use third-party libraries for most of my work. I wouldn't spend on $600 on it for the samples, though. The hardware/software integration and its feature set are the real reasons to buy a Maschine IMO. Its library browser and ability to quickly and easily browse, search, and call up any sample from your HD right from the hardware unit itself using categories (ala Kore) is pretty cool.

It hardly moves when I'm tapping in drums and it's easily adjustable - just about perfect. Thanks for the tip!

Good improvization ther Cryo looks nice...! im jelous

in the third place: where's your 'studio' pics?

If he is being facetious, then well i feel silly...

If he isnt, he would have an AWESOME studio, as some in this thread are just stunning.

Mine on the other hand, is a macbook pro, some speakers/stands and a 25key midi keyboard... not to exciting.

p.s. was thinking about getting a virus, but robby told me to, then not too... or something

How does that work Cryo? it sounds good. Are the function buttons linked to your files/sample or something (scan through on its onboard navagation and bring up the sample in Machine. So the Machine acts as a midi controller with push button instead of keys i guess!

Yes - you can do pretty much everything with the hardware that you can with Maschine's software interface, except for naming/re-naming samples, files, etc. You can navigate your hard drive right from the screens on Maschine or, better yet, add your samples to your favorites, categorize them in Maschine's library using three tiers of classification (including endless user-defined categories), and then you can browse/preview/load them very quickly using the knobs/screens on the HW by searching through your categories.

Nice, sounds bloody versitile!

May look into that later on, thanks for the info Cryo

Maschine is actually a lot more than that - you can record your own loops real time and use them in your beat. You can do all kinds of crazy things - like real time reverse of the sample or loop, dropping FX in or running other sounds through maschine FX. You can also use it as a Live controller - it's really insane and really easy to get started.

I'm dumping my command station (hardware-based drum/synth/sequencer) and going all Maschine.

Just start here to see what it can do:

I've had enough "fun" experiences with NI software that I'd never touch their hardware.

Maybe one of these days they'll get back to releasing finished products, instead of leaving each one in beta and moving on to something else (ignoring customers who are having problems along the way).

Look for used capybaras on ebay . Lots of people have been selling them off to upgrade to the new Paca/Paca Rana. Keep in mind that by cheap, I mean cheap for Kyma... which still isn't exactly "cheap"

Interesting to hear about the used capys... they apparently have a really good soundcard in them too.

BTW MAX4Live runtime doesn't exist. Max runtime is free.

They definitely do.

Ahh sorry, I wasn't paying enough attention

That does make sense, though. Realistically, not many typical live users are ever going to figure out how to work with max beyond loading someone elses work and using it as a plugin... so I don't think it would make financial sense for Cycling 74 to hand out runtime for free. It would be smart for them to offer it at a lower price, though.

my piano, adagio 88 keys digital flip flop. This isnt too bad sound quality meh, but it does the job for practice..!

I have the same desk (in cherry) and love it. They make a smaller/cheaper version as well. Guitar Center carries them.
