Hmmm…. had never heard of a Linn drumm until reading the reviews on this page, the new one looks pretty interesting. But my only thing is why would you pay triple the price for such little differences? Yall are str8 tripping, you can load any sample except .rex into Maschine and play it with your midi keyboard, you can use it as a VST plugin in just about any DAW, but i guess its just about preference, i can’t justify paying triple just because of a name if i dont like the sounds the Maschine comes with i just load more samples in and resample on top of that and then throw it into Ableton or any other DAW tweak it some more and keep moving, yall need to watch the videos and quit hating, Maschine will further evolve into something that will have you all pissed that you dont have one!!! mine is on its way! Deuces.

Incidentally, the features page seems to contradict your correction, stating that “it is also a powerful universal hardware controller for use with any MIDI-compatible hardware or software.”

Well i have both and i can say that the maschine doesnt feel like is better built than the apc, the apc looks better and the materials are also better, the maschine is not aluminium as stated above i got one i should know!

CORRECTION the maschine can not sequence other hardware or drum machines. The midi is sync set up only right now and as of yet can not host vst plugins only be used as a vst plugin. But is sick sampling, chopping, creating tight grooves. Is better intergrated for computer sequencing than a mpc. And can be used as a midi controler. I have mine set to control my vst synths in fl studio. Plus I get label of what the knobs are on the display screen. Pull maschine up as a plugin lay down a groove pull up a plugin synth control it all hands on. Best of both worlds. It could be better but its the best we have right now. Note the groove is in the maschine sequencer and the vst are in fl studio sequencer.

I laughed when I saw this advertised….

If you own a MPC and Battery just use the MIDI Settings for the tracks and use “Learn” for Battery’s individual samples, done. I have some funky 808’s mapped to my 1000. My computer background always makes me search for analog/digital integration. One more thing, if your MPC has a USB port invest in the M-Audio USB to MIDI or a similar product. If you do your DAW will free you of some of your channel assignment responsibilities. So to round things up……… Battery or similar proggie + MPC “X” = quick sample search and fluid workflow! BTW I love Kore 2

I make music with only a Nord Modular and an MPC1000 as my tools.

Does anyone know that midi keyboard was used in the Kore 2 & Maschine tutorials, and if its available? It would be perfect… fits the Kore 2 on top perfectly. Thanks.

Thank you Peter. I didn’t want to buy both to find out it wouldn’t work.
