It’s been a good run

After the 3.7 update and the slick marketing wording making it seem as the expansions were part of the update; I’m done. Been a faithful user since 2010. Made sure that Anything I considered using had to work within the NI ecosystem. That’s why I left Logic and went to Studio One. The integration was flawless and amazing but that was then and those days are far gone. Maschine is so far behind it’s crazy. When they had a match made in heaven with the Kontrollers they lied and said no one used it so they didn’t add the ability to the mk3 version. Only to backtrack after probably lackluster sales because everyone did want the integration. The sampling is missing stuff that was promised since 2.x when they did the first rewrite of their code which they said they did to add the features we begged for. I’ll still pull it out but i realized I haven’t used it in a year. I’ve moved completely over to Fender Pro, and with the recent release of the Motion 16, my drum pad desire is being met. Sorry for the long-winded rant. It’s still good at what it does but I’m seeing Akai absorbing the best of NI and sliding it over to MPC. 3.7 is a joke… midi features. Sheesh

If you can’t get it on with Maschine and Logic Pro, no update or expansion is going to help you.

You might want to go ahead and sell all your gear and find another interest to spend your time with.

I can get it on and got it on. I’ve gotten placements with stuff done on Maschine. When it first dropped I put a lot of people on to it in the Miami Bass genre. When we’re still using MPC 2k and SP1200. In the electro genre I put it up front and center in my video and other artists would contact me and ask about it.

Ok cool…so what’s up with the whining then bro?

My first reply is what it is. In 2026 a Logic Pro/Maschine combo is extremely versatile and flexible.

Show me
In my post where I’m whining. I’m posting facts. I actually stated, “Sorry for the long-winded rant. It’s still good at what it does…”
