For instance, I often find myself starting a project with Maschine, because I’ve got a kit I like (including my own samples), or I’m using some of its internal drum synths or bass synth, or just want to wail on four pads and use its workflow for sampling and groove creation. Now, unlike working with Ableton Push, the setup isn’t entirely seamless, and there’s not total integration of hardware and software. So, the hardware proposition there is the 4×4 pad grid of the MP3, and the Komplete Kontrol keyboards.įor Maschine users, the ability to use Ableton Live and Maschine seamlessly could make a lot of producers and live performers happy. NI made available two software updates yesterday, for their Maschine groove workstation software and for Komplete Kontrol, their software layer for hosting instruments and effects and interfacing with their keyboards. But if you’re a big user of both, say, MASCHINE MK3 and Ableton Live, here’s some good news. There’s a big push among software makers to deliver integrated solutions – and that’s great.
