The sounds and instruments that come with Ableton Live are really mediocre and cannot really compete with what comes with Komplete. Also, Live's built-in instruments can only be used in Live while Komplete instruments can be used in any DAW you choose to use.

There are similarities though and some people do choose to use one or the other. It just depends on what your needs are. They both have a pattern based sequencers with scenes and clips. Where Maschine has the edge is being able to have complete control over the software with the integrated hardware and giving you the option never to look at the computer or touch a mouse if you don't want to. Maschine also comes with a rather excellent Live control surface template which you can switch back and forth from Maschine mode at the press of a button. Of course, Push has the 8x8 grid buttons but I prefer to just use a regular MIDI keyboard for chords and melodies.

I believe this is mostly fair - remember that Akai also makes Push, but Ableton makes Live.

Not if you're wanting to do hands-on sampling and sample-based production using an integrated controller. Push doesn't let you sample from the hardware and it can't do any of the sample slicing, or even manual chopping, editing start/end points, sampling to a pad and duplicating that pad to other pads, basically any kind of sample manipulation...etc. Maschine is what you want if you need to do any of that.

No, I definitely don't believe so. Push doesn't really have access to many of Live's production functions - only note input and clip launching.

I checked some details again to get a better understanding. Finally I absolutely agree to one of the former posts when somebody was saying: It's not either or! You may need both! <-- Again, totally right. Push vs. Maschine is not apples with apples. Push is really more for the workflow and control on Live while Maschine Studio e.g. is more a monster groove production system even when there are more options and possibilities for your workflow.

Thanks.
Yes, definitely interested in the new maschine studio. However, I can't find that much information yet, beside of natives introduction video on their website or even better the DJTT vid here. I am not sure yet, what it can more than the traditional mkII version before or the push right now. My overall first impression is, it come with better features like the jogwheel which allows you a better workflow .. the 2 new colored resolution displays .. the new 2.0 software. But I don't see the big deal yet. By the way, I don't want to limit my budget. I am going to build up my home / project studio now at home within the beasement and already spend a few thousand dollars for acoustic.

For me:

APC: Performance Controller
Maschine: Beat maker (although it can do a LOT more!)
Push: Full Ableton live Interface/Production BEAST!

Of course, you COULD use any of the devices to do anything you want - but PUSH will do things the other 2 can't.

Maybe it's an experience thing, or you haven't used many of Maschine's slicing capabilities (detect, add/remove, sensitivity).

I got my APC40 used for $130. I'd rather use that in a live environment and beat the hell out of it. I believe the Push is way overpriced and hope it goes down to something reasonable in a couple of years.

There's actually not too much overlap between the Maschine and Push despite the superficial similarities. Maschine does make for an excellent Live controller:


Push doesn't rival Maschine at all when it comes to having full mouseless control over the software from the hardware controller, as Maschine is the only one of the two that has that ability.

Push is really lacking if you care about sampling/editing/chopping functions and having a mouseless workflow as only a very narrow set of Live's features can be controlled out of the box without the help of programming it in python or Max4Live. It will still require you to use the mouse/trackpad for a lot of things. Some examples of things Push cannot do compared to Maschine:

* sample into pads from the hardware

* browse and load audio samples or pattern clips from the hardware

* slice samples from the hardware

* automapping of plugins (Push requires setup beforehand)

* the ability to be mouseless (and even computer screen-less) for pretty much every control of its software

* preview/pre-hear samples in browser from the hardware before loading them

* show things like waveforms on its display since it's only text-based, not graphical.

* add/remove slices from the hardware

* step sequence regular midi tracks from the hardware

* browse and load audio/clips from the hardware

* duplicate drum rack pads from the hardware

* edit start/end points for unwarped audio clips

* access drum rack's sends and mixer

* make multiple selection of notes from the hardware

* automap to plugins without having to save them in a different format first

* step automation (aka step parameter locks/p-locks)

* open/close plugin GUI from the hardware

* open a project or even start a new project from the hardware
* make custom names to show up in the hardware's displays when used as a midi controller

* Push is rather useless as a general MIDI controller since it has no editor, you can't change notes, and you can't have MIDI mapping templates

* and obviously, Push doesn't have the Komplete integration like Maschine where all presets can be browsed and loaded from the hardware.
...etc.

Push is also quite buggy and feels unfinished from what I'm hearing and there are many complaints already about the quality control issues like the RGB pads not showing the same colors when they're supposed to.

Correct. You had to be in specified purchase window to receive the free upgrade promotion.

My PUSH is coming today. Woohoo! I also have the Maschine MK2. I don't know if I'll need both. If you don't already have Ableton, you do get a lot of content a Massive with your Maschine purchase. There's value to that, for sure.

So why the push? I don't have an ableton controller. Maschine's remote scripts are "ok", but I really fell in love with Maschines software integration. I hope push will do that for me with Live.

I would also like to mention for music production use that I really enjoyed LPC software by NativeKontrol with a Launchpad and because it was directly integrated in Live unlike Maschine I did like it a lot and Stray (Native Kontrol founder and developer) offered amazing support. This convinced me that for 4 times less the price of Maschine and not the hassle of the pitfall of the pseudo-DAW inside a DAW, a controller directly integrated in Live was the ideal solution for me. I believe Stray created some new script similar to Push functions - it may be a very affordable alternative to consider too. Regarding using Maschine a la Hawtin to layer claps or perc loops, ironically a Launchpad synced to traktor as a slave with LPC was much more reliable than Maschine itself regarding the Sync. With LPC, I was able to create nice little loops with Drum racks and it even had a melodic step sequencer for simple basslines. On an iPad Griid by Liine was great to create clips too

For DJ use as a complementary source for fills and one-shots LPC seems to me the most efficient and affordable solution. Because I sold my Launchpad, I would be happy so sell my license at a low price for someone who has a Launchpad and wants to try this solution.

I believe it depends on what your trying to do.

I will briefly echo what erpi wrote.
Maschine was built to integrate with Maschine software.
Although people do their best to get Maschine working smoothly with Ableton, and lots of people rave about it, I found the little things that didnt work to be huge stumbling blocks for proper integration with Ableton.
Great for sketching, lots of mouse clicking to get a solid arrangement into Ableton.
I sold Maschine because I was getting similar results with my APC40 and a drumPad controller with the help of max for live and Bomes. Yet that was on Live 8.

So for me I would rule Maschine out as a contender at integrating with Live.
That said, Live 9 offers one thing that it sorely needed to contend with Maschine software, "Record Automation to Session Clips."
I LOVE IT.

So if you narrow it down in this way you're left with 2 choices.
APC40, and PUSH.
So how do you anticipate working with Live?
If your strictly DJing, playing others tunes, riding faders, launcing clips, mashing up with FX etc.
The APC40 sould suffice, and cost much less, leaving you with money for other things, such as NativeKontrol templates for the APC40, or M4L so you can use the abundance of patches made for the APC40 adding killer funtionality.
However, if you plan on building beats/songs using drumRacks and instruments (and drumRacks + Sampler are fucking DOPE) PUSH looks like a dream come true.
I dont have one and sure it's brand new, plus bugs, and probably missing features.
Nevertheless these things will get sorted.
Ableton is currently in developement on adding features, integrated M4L devices, and working out bugs.
The hardware layout of PUSH looks perfect to achieve a small footprint controller that offers all of that.
Coming from 4 years of hacking away at the APC40 to try an emulate things offered in PUSH, they pretty much got everything right except adding faders. However you could easily add a fader controller to your set up.
For me the attraction to PUSH is the 8x8 matrix of velocity sensitive pads accompanied by 2 rows of function buttons, all the necessary labeled mode buttons, and 8 encoders for blue handing (one of Lives best features) plus a master encoder.
The hardware sequencing layout plus Live's capability is amazing, there is truly nothing like it.

If your just getting started in Ableton, it can be an elegant all in one solution, for softwware, laptops, music production and performance in that manner.
Anyone who argues that does not know enough about Live as software.

Another thing to consider, what is Novation going to release next?
Good chance it will be cheaper, and possibly a better layout for what you want.

Personally I am trying to ween myself off of Laptop dependency these days, and PUSH is kinda fucking up my plans, maybe.
My only beef with this kind of thing is that SO many people will be using this as the center of their rig making everyone look like a similar act. If your trying to stand out and appear unique I say PUSH is the last thing you should consider, but thats a whole different topic.

For the point of view of a pure Live use - I tend to disagree even though I understand that workflow is something personal to each user of hardware/software. Maschine is great but as the only piece of software for a computer based setup it has some fatal flaws if you want to do more than simple structured music.

I owned Maschine Mk1 - sold it. I owned Mikro Mk1 - sold it. I owned Maschine Mk2 - sold it (damn NI marketing and "hands-on workflow"). I finally pre-ordered Push.

Maschine is great and have a fantastic workflow for creating loops and sampling, no doubt about that. The arrangement capabilities on Maschine is very weak and i am not even talking about basic mixdowns (no visual feedback on levels - I know you are supposed to use your ears but frankly it was a evening mare). The worst was trying to move from a Maschine project to arrange in a proper Daw that offers the necessary mixing and arrangement environment. Drag and drop yes it is easy but if it is more than 10 loops it was tedious to say the least - long hours using the mouse. Commit to audio and drag the wavs, you'd better be a king of folders organization to remember which part is your 2 bar fill or your Riser. Routing audio and midi was also a evening mare because Maschine overrides your output audio routing each time you change a sound on the pad. All in all no need for a pseudo-Daw inside your Daw. I had high hopes for the promised Traktor integration but ironically Live was more able to hold the sync tight as a slave than Maschine in Traktor and this integration is still vaporware today after more than 2 years.

Push may not be able to do everything from the controller but it would be impossible because Live is much more complex than Maschine. NI needs to work on creating their daw and then Maschine will be a useful tool for making music and not just a tool to create a collection of loops or struggling to create an arrangement where micro edits areso cumbersome to incorporate.

No one needs Maschine or Push to make music - keyboard shortcuts and knowing your daw is technically all you need, the rest is talent (no Daws provides that in the box unfortunately)!

Push.

If you have the cash, I see no reason to not get the best. Pads are supposed to be just as good as the Maschine, and the APC40 is just an older version of the Push IMO.
