Awesome for beats

I really want to learn how to use this. I have bought courses about it. I read the whole manual. I still have trouble doing basic things but I recognize that this is an amazingly powerful system. I love the screen, the controls, the pads and hopefully some day soon I will love the operating system. It really is one of the best controllers and software for beats and I do love it.

very good but..

i couldn't use it too much cause my cpu is too slow. i can't say about this program and equipment. seems like a classic drum software: beautiful material, interesting interface, qualified sound.. i wanted to be able to play more. and i want more expansions added to this program. this is a semi-review. maybe i can to use it again in the future.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Native Instruments Maschine Studio - Black

The Maschine studio is great. Its really pricey but worth it. It takes time to learn how to use it and can do so much stuff. The look is very expensive futuristic looking.

Features: Two hi-resolution color screens Highly-sensitive, multi-color pads Loaded with a vast 8 GB sound library Includes MASCHINE 2.0 software 24 pro-quality studio effects Dedicated edit buttons and an ultra-precise jog-wheel Full versions of MASSIVE, PRISM, SCARBEE MARK I, and SOLID BUS COMP are already on-board

If you are looking for a Native instruments product this is it. It will not be my last product by them.

Fuck yes! Fuck no! Make it easier to interface with Ableton!

Kick ass sound design, shit for "DAW" development. I've got it as a VST in Ableton but it's far from idea. I have a Ableton pro who is gonna fix that but I shouldn't need that help. But for sound design & that MPC feel that Push just can't do...it's a work in progress for now-and I know I'm way behind but how nice it would be if it was intuitive. Can't be said enough-SOUNDS & FEEL 5++ stars. Other issues...ugggh. Minus one.

Bang for your buck!

The maschine studio is very intuitive, it doesn't take long to learn how to use it. In my opinion, I think this is better than the Mpc Touch and Renaissance. Sampling on here is really quick and you can get started without having to navigate much. I will say the pads are better on Akai's but the Studio has a better response.

The heart of my setup for capturing ideas quickly and sketching out a song.

Great idea generator and amazing workflow help with sketching out song ideas and demoing new material. The included plugins are great sound shapers and by the time I bump out the stems into Logic Pro they sound pretty amazing. A big plus is the chord and scales feature and colour pads to help co-ordinate samples into sections. Love it.

Fantastic piece of gear.

Maschine Studio, is actually, as said by the company, an entire Groove Beatmaking studio inside the little box. Definitely amazing libraries coming along with Maschine 2, and incredible Step Sequencer mode, is just great for performances or production.

Love the product overall, as the interface and delay, are unbelievably fantastic.

Thanks to NI
