| Sydney Lashway 07.05.2013 | I use Maschine, and I've become fond of playing melodies on the 16 pads. That being said, nothing can change or make a piano player of 20 years switch from the good old, black and whites. I'm instinctual on a real piano/keyboard, I don't believe about keys, chords I just know. However, if you're not a piano player maybe learning the patterns or "boxes" as guitarist refer to them, may be easier. Also, having more than one octave accessible without having to press an up or down button is also great. |
| Ervin Calvery 06.05.2013 | No. I wouldn't go for Push, as I'm about to write in your other thread. I prefer keyboards and notation for harmony, but have become used to using pads. Maschine's (mk2) pads are easily the best out there. The coloured scales are a crutch but potentially useful, and available on Maschine as well as Push. For drumming, it's all about pads (or real drums) for me. Slicing and sampling without using the keyboard and mouse are a big deal to me, and for this reason, I'm not in to the MPC controllers or Push. For clip launch (an Ableton thing, you'll learn so soon) I go back to my APC40, QuNeo, the Maschine and Maschine mk2 scripts, or remote scripts for other controllers that I've written myself. |
