its because of how computers work.. akai os is proprietary therefore if something is written for it then it also becomes proprietary so even though it might be the same sounds on the outside     See More side its coded for akai.. so buy another license    See Less

it is probably the unheard Machine+ (EFT) Native I. they really love their money.     See Less

I think it’s normal that we have to pay again: they are different products.

NI users should however be pissed primarily because it clearly demonstrates that NI no longer wants to     See More Maschine+.
I have a Mk3 and love the workflow. It’s still better than MPC3. But I want to work without a computer so the M+ is a logical next step…

But NI has shown that it doesn’t want to strengthen M+ any more, so I bought an MPC Key37.
Which turned out to be the right choice.

Maschine+ is now a legacy platform.    See Less

Man, The MPC series has a problem.

The timestretch is actually horrible on it & the OS is ok. I can’t use half of my library on it from my M+, whether through warp or processing     See More s like garbage.

The MPC series runs on chips used in tablets, & are outdated.

My Maschine+ runs any drum chops I’ve taken from records & stretches them perfectly.

The effects are dope. I have zero idea as to why people ignore the reaktor ensembles for M+.

I have no idea as to why NI is doing this when their M+ outperforms the MPC X SE when it comes to the hardware used & build quality wise.

Anyone ACTUALLY digging in the crates & does it old-school knows how great the specs on the M+ are. I can dig for hihat loops & stretch them IMMEDIATELY.

M+ doesn’t need a touchscreen either.

My M+ has never crashed or failed on me, my MPC X SE & MPC One have crashed.

The MPC One crashed on me so much, that I ordered the Maschine+ & have over 300 beats on it.

I’m in the middle here. As I own the M+ & the MPC X SE.

I’m extremely confused by what the hell is going on with NI & Akai technology-wise.    See Less

I saw NI comment on another video that new machine + update is coming very soon     See Less

you lost me at xbox.....jk lol     See Less

Two words: Private. Equity. They don’t give 2 fucks about you, they’re just gonna squeeze the lemon for all its juice and then throw it in the trash. Time to abandon NI forever.     See Less

Be on the lookout for a new Kontrol Keyboard. Bring the technology of the Plus to a workstation like the MPC Keys series.     See Less

I have NEVER had a good experience with NI, so I stopped buying their products long ago, however good some of them may be.     See Less

Interesting fact from the floor of the NAMM show today: Native Instruments was a no-show. The spot where their displays were supposed to be was empty.

FWIW, Arturia wasn't much     See More They had a single meeting room about the size of my kids bathroom, with only 3 keyboards on display. Why bother showing up at all?    See Less
