Multiple controller setup options
Hey guys just looking for a little bit of input. Just picked up a lot of new gear and thanks to a couple birthday gifts I'm looking for a new way to incorporate all of this into the most practical/creative setup i can.

My setup previous to today was a kontrol s2 (4 deck mapping) + maschine also mapped for 4 decks and knobs mapped to fx (ex. filter knob since the s2 does not have a dedicated filter).

Since then, I recently bought myself a midi fighter pro and received a kontrol x1 and f1 as a bday gift. I feel like with this setup my possibilities are overwhelmingly endless. I'm trying to figure out the most expressive/creative combo I can use with these new toys. Originally I had seen some maschine mappings to control sample decks, or mappings set up like a midi fighter. Now that I have an f1 to control remix decks and the mf pro covers my fx mappings that I had planned on using with maschine. So now, I'm just trying to brainstorm some options on incorporating my s2, x1, f1, mf pro and maschine into one setup that still maintains some practicality.

Does anyone have a similar gear setup? Do I need this much going on at once?

My problem with new toys is that I always want to play with them, regardless of functionality within my current setup, I just want to use them all!

My current thoughts were to leave my mf pro as is, since its out of the box mappings are already awesome, get rid of my 4 deck s2 mapping, and utilize the x1 to gain 4 deck control together with the s2, and build my remix decks with the f1. Where does that leave me with maschine? I've seen some people use it with ableton or maschine's standalone software for some live performance stuff in sets.

Not that I'm complaining about new stuff, but I feel like I just added too much at once to my current setup and I am just looking for some feedback/opinions on the most effective way to be able to incorporate all of them into my sets and maximize my creative options while playing

Thanks!
