NI blew it. The blueprint is with Roland. Roland rolls its software forward to each new platform. Zenology for example uses most of the samples from the old silver Fantoms with slightly diff     See More NI refused to roll their software forward and instead chose to try and integrate it all with different platforms that it was progressing - Kontakt; Komplete Kontrol; and Maschine. The bugs piled up and their products really fell off in quality imo. Even the MPC expansions have caused errors on MPC Live 2 at launch. The hole is too big for them to crawl out of. Even ignoring that Akai took everything they could have captured on hardware, Roland Galaxias is a much better version of Komplete Kontrol. I don’t really even use my NI vsts anymore.    See Less

maschine sounds are better akai midi is better ijs i use both at the same time     See Less

this guy is only spreading fear and bs, unsubscribing     See Less

Akai is putting effort and money in the MPCs. Could be better (like MPC software with the damn arranger so poor eyesight me can edit on a 32 inch screen). But overall, second to none instrum     See More nstrument. Because this is what is specific about the MPC: you play it.    See Less

Native Instruments gave us exactly what they promised. No more, and no less.

And that's part of the problem to some people because they see what the MPC gets and are all "why     See More uot; NI chose a cheap, low power x64 processor that was weak when they put it in there. 4GB of RAM, great. But the Maschine+ was just never, ever going to be anything but a basic Maschine standalone experience.

NI released an answer to the modern stand alone MPCs and Akai went "lol hold my beer" and just destroyed them.

We all went "this competition will be good for both sides" and it ended up being mostly good for Akai users. And then NI sold sounds FOR Akai hardware while Maschine+ users were left waiting for Maschine 3 lol. Now that we know about the insolvency thing it makes sense that NI was just desperate for cash.    See Less

As long as its installed it should Continue working right?     See Less

I believe People are gonna jump back on “board” when Maschine drops somethin new…

I’d never sell any of My pieces - I think it’s worth it to keep it

And The Maschine     See More unds are still CRAZY    See Less

Left it years ago… but love my S series keyboard     See Less

I'm not leaving 🇧🇿     See Less

I’ve been NI MASCHINE for 10 years I’m planning to migrate to AKAI soon     See Less
