Thanks Andy that's kinda how I assumed it to be. I've been eye balling the analog four for.a while to use in a live situation, which also boasts the parameter lock functions and figured it was more than automation, but wasn't quite sure |

been watching the Maschine tutorial videos on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajIniQuUz5w Really getting sold on this. Especially the tagging library. Also how nice it would be push pads instead of clicking a mouse! Also this works in stand alone right? So I could make customer kits and so on in down time without the need for the computer. So the integration is perfect? Also whats the difference with the Mikro?

It's a bit like per-note host automation, or motion sequencing on the Electribe series but that doesn't quite capture what p-locks are capable of. With Electribes AFAIR only a limited number of sequences may be recorded for each part. p-locks are limited by a global pool, so an individual step could be setting values for 10 or 15 parameters. It all happens in real time and 0 latency. Hold step - set parameter(s) - done. It's very intuitive once the interface is learned. Peace, Andy. Is step automation in maschine the same as p-lock? I don't use it much cause the values aren't relative but only just clicked to use that to adjust values on individual steps instead of event select... @Aiynzahev, Maschine is amazingly stable but i always scan new plugins anyway and anything that crashes gets blacklisted. it's single core but it's pretty efficient unless it's a really demanding diva.  ---- “There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance” ― Ali Bin Abi Thalib Too many daws... |

Sami Mate it's the best thing i ever bought for composing music with a computer but it needs one connected, hardware is essentially a midi controller with a software front end. You can use the software on it's own with a mouse though.

hi,not standalone in how you mean...
its an app so doesn't need a host to run...but it does need the computer... everything is on the computer.... maschine is just the controller. rsp |

You can't compare the MPC2000 (which I also had) to Maschine. Maschine doesn't have any of those inherent limitations of standalone hardware like you described. It's the best of both worlds actually. Intuitive, hands-on and still powerful and flexible. |

Maschine's step automation is basically the same thing as Elektron's p-locks. I prefer Maschine's way as it's way faster to work with since it allows you to make changes to multiple steps at once. |

I ended up paying off my bills and with what was left over, I picked up a second hand Mk1 Maschine. It should be here any day, but I'll definitely run it through it's paces and let you know what I think.
I originally had one when it was first released, but it was still buggy then. Im sure by now every one of the bugs is ironed out, and it works like a dream. |

It's come a long way since i got mine in '09. Still has a way to go with the stuff that's on the roadmap but NI have been pretty consistent with the updates and they are done very well in relation to workflow. Spend some time with it anyway and RTM and hardware reference guides.
@bunnywrench i thought so, thanks. ---- “There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance” ― Ali Bin Abi Thalib Too many daws... |
