Reply to Maschine worth it??

Hey Everyone,

Been on the site for a while utilizing all the great tips but haven't posted much.

Wondering thoughts on if Maschine is worth it... I may buy my roommates mikro off him for a pretty good price.

However, I've got Live and a ton of drum samples that work great constructing beats in drum racks. What is the real advantage of using maschine over playing drum racks in live with my MPD?

One thing that would really interest me is if you can play maschine in traktor and basically have your own drum kit to play on the fly/make loops on the fly in time with the master clock. I use the s4 and having machine setup too would be very attractive, especially since I'm a drummer.

Does anyone have experience using maschine like this or just an opinion on it in general?

Thanks!

Ryan
