Push + Maschine 2.0 + APC40
Posted on: 14.04.2013 by Wilton Keuning
Hey fellow DJTT goers.

I am currently looking for a way to sue my 20% off code and have been believeing about upgrading my studio controllers. Some basic information about me is that I make Techno, Minimal, House, Electro House, etc and I do all of it in Ableton.

I like the Push because it is much more logically laid out for someone who doesn't play piano and it has step sequence and other such things.

I love the Maschine for drumming and also the Maschine software. I have seen some lovely things accomplished and it is another way to get more live expression and swing. I also love the bigger pads.

Lastly, I like the APC40 (I wouldn't purchase this from DJTT) for the channel faders and the amazing Macro banks that the Push lacks. This + Push also give me ability to control and instrument on the Push and launch clips with the APC40. I can also remap this to damn near any software I want.

These are my thoughts. Does anyone here have any further ideas?

Cheers.

That. I want all 32 right there at once.

So I believe my set up is seeming pretty sound. I like Push for a lot of reasons and Maschine appears to be well loved and honestly I'll be using APC40 for mixing and clip launch and it's great at that so I feel I have everything covered.

Maschine can step sequence in as many steps as you'd like - it just switches between pages of sixteen steps.

Yes, the Live script for Maschine has had coloured scales for a while.

Exactly right mate? That's huge for me, but I LOVE the layouts for instrument play on the Push.

I believe both kinda make the APC40 obsolete.

If you want to produce, go with the Maschine or Push.

If you want to make melodies and stuff, go Push. If you want to drum stuff out go Maschine.

I believe both kinda make the APC40 obsolete.
