10 creative tips that will improve your Maschine workflow.

That seems like it would be bothersome when you're trying to switch scenes while playing.Originally pitched as a software-powered take on the classic Akai MPC beatmakers, the Maschine ecosystem has now grown to encompass far more than sample-centric beat-building, with synthesizers, effects, arrangement and even hardware sequencing all covered by the current iteration of the Maschine software. I don't want to reach a brick wall with Mikro once I learn it.ĪLSO: I don't know much about scenes and what not, but I do know that they are assigned to the pads in the Mikro. Mikro is attractive because of the price, however, I want something that I can learn with and grow. I've done enough research and I'm going to stick with the Maschine. Maybe check craigslist that's where I found mine brand new for 400$. Do yourself a favor and go pick it up ASAP and never look back, I didn't. I use it in standalone only cuz to me it's best that way. I've had mine for a while and I effin love it. If you can go GC and use there's with ease then that should give you the confidence to pick one up and take it to the crib and get great tracks going within no time. So there it is morejay if you have the dough then get the M1 and call it a day. There's also other small things like not being able to do knob/parameter automation from the Mikro controller. So really it depends on what you're looking at Maschine for and what you expect from it.

I do like the pads on the Mikro better than the M1, they have a smoother, less "grippy" feel to them, which translates to a better experience, I wish I could upgrade my M1 with those. So while I think many will be happy with it as their first Maschine, if your main idea is to have as much hands on control as possible, as well as having a useful controller for other things, the knobs and screens on the original M1 really fit that concept. It's notched, so it's not as smooth and you feel like you're over shooting your mark, alternatively, using shift to get finer control yeilds not enough change in my opinion unless you zoom in on the waveform. On the regular Maschine, if you slice something, you can quickly go in and edit the start/end of each slice, not so with the Mikro.Īnother thing, when adjusting/editing samples I find the resolution of the single knob as it is currently, too coarse for my taste. But there are things you just can't do on the Mikro that you can on Maschine.ġ example is editing your chops. I dig the Mikro, it's well thought out, more button pushing than the original of course, but that's to be expected with the lack of a second screen. If you want the most hands on control possible get the regular one. I would love to find Maschine at the Mikro price, lol. Now with all of my research on Maschine, both screens seem important to the overall workflow. He said the same thing that you just said.

So get the big one!I was in Guitar Center earlier and I talked to the rep about this. Money is an issue for him and I think he'd really benefit from having a maschine, mikro or otherwise.īut the price is the only advantage I can think of. I've recommended mikro to my good friend. It's not like the orig isn't fully powered via USB. But I take maschine anywhere I want no prob. With fewer knobs/controllers on mikro maybe some of the joy is lost and replaced with awkward input commands. Much of that fun comes from the tight/dedicated interface.

So if there are differences in the build quality I don't know who can attest to that yet. I just want to make and educated (economical) buy.įair question- but I think you all ready have the answer if you read the website.įew of us maschine users have mikro, it's new. I don't mind shelling out the $599, because that's what I've been prepared to do anyway. I mean, the product website will tell you one thing, but i want to know the story from the people who are actually using it daily and not trying to sell a product.

My question to you would be: Why spend the extra two hundred bucks on Maschine instead of going with a cheaper Maschine Mikro? Are there any major differences? I'm going to make the leap for it in two weeks. (Death in the family, car troubles, etc.) I think I'm SOLID this time. Every time I think I'm going to buy it, something happens. I've been looking at Maschine for the past six months or so. I can write and produce (if I knew how) all night long. And besides, no one (that I know, at least) has a work flow like mine.

That never really works because it RARELY comes out how I want it to. I play 11 instruments, but I've always relied on the creativity and talent of someone else to translate my vision into music. I've been looking to get into producing my own records for years.
