Taking up the desk space of a more classic, fully hardware based groove production system, the unit definitely requires a bigger bag.
From the moment you get Maschine Studio out of the box, you can certainly tell this is the big daddy of them all. Both have been quite easy to slip into a bag for portability. In the STUDIO Before Maschine Studio, you’ve had a choice of either the regular sized Maschine or the smaller Maschine Mikro. The lack of audio interface on a product at this cost will annoy some people, but it does at least offer much more MIDI connectivity than your current interface most likely will. Although we’ll discuss what’s new for all users of version 2.0, our main focus is on the latest Maschine Studio hardware and its potential to do away with your computer display altogether. We also imagine we’ll see the same free updates for 2.0 in the future as well. If you look at what other major music making software packages offer, it’s easy to see that NI possibly give the best user loyalty we’ve seen. As well as having various hardware options to choose from in the Maschine range, until the latest 2.0 software release that we’re looking at here, upgrades have always been free to users with hardware from any generation.Īlthough the recent upgrade does come at a cost, most of the 1.x updates have received significant changes with each new release.
It’s also worth noting that the addition of iMaschine for iOS has been integrated into the Maschine family as well, meaning you can sketch out ideas on a handheld device, then import them into Maschine on your computer for further development. Though the system is made with hardware in mind, you can use the Maschine software on its own without the controller, which is handy when travelling around with just a laptop.
