maschine does some things quite nicely
so I kinda feel that developers wont bother much to develop it further?
people still will mix in Logic, Cubase or Ableton

Picked up a Mikro and the software for cheap. Is it worth the time it takes to learn Maschine?

Absolutely. It's a pretty awesome workflow when you've gotten into it.

New update available now

Just a little hint

only install the update if you don't plan to use Maschine+ as a controller. Maschine+ is unfortunately not compatible with the software update and the controller mode does not work.

I had to downgrade my version of Maschine to use Maschine+ as a controller.

The Maschine+ update was postponed to "a few weeks in a near future" because of too many bugs.

VST3 support hasn't been an issue until recently, now that SB is on a mission to stamp out the evils of VST2. As well documented elsewhere, VST3 is not capable of some things as compared to VST2. When you've got limited resources,you out them where they matter most...

Limited resources? NI is one of the biggest plugin developers on the market and they literally make money every year selling Komplete. If NI were like U-He (who btw had M1 native support not even a month after release) it would make sense but NI in general moves very slowly and they don't really put out a lot of products (in-terms of plugins) to justify how slow they move imo. 9 years is not a lack of resources issues imo.

Maybe the biggest, but it doesn't follow that they don't have limited resources. How long have Absynth and FM8 languished? Other than the updated Massive X, everything else new has been built in Reaktor--Monarch, Prism, even the FM8 for M+, it seems.

Urs has stated that despite all the peripheral gains affecting both Windows and Mac that they made porting to M1, they still had to put other stuff on hold. What needs to be done is done. That's why NI is finally getting to VST3, starting with their most important product, Kontakt. You'll see Reaktor and Massive X go next, followed by Maschine, but that will probably not include the aforementioned also-rans. But who knows? Personally, I'd hate to see Absynth die.

Maschine - a bit slow lately?
