The push controller is a relatively new concept & I guarantee there will be a new version out very soon. |
Bare in mind that the new Maschine does not - in any way - render the previous useless or outdated. The new one is intended to be their flagship model, with better interface and screens, but it's also the bigger one, hence it's name "Maschine Studio", as they (and pretty much anyone) can foresee this as a unit more suited for studio work then live performance where size does indeed matter!
Not only it doesn't entirely replace or make the previous models feel old, you can actually see the previous getting better with the software updates - and god knows that matters for keeping things interesting! I think the idea behind Push and Maschine is way to similar! Both - like Berni said - can't live without their dedicated software behind them. There are tradeoffs to this approach as compared to a totally stand alone unit like the classic MPC, but there are also advantages and I think they're doing a tremendous job at making them stand out! You can turn your ideas into great sounding music with no sync or recording issues at all while having fun with an interface and that's half the job done btw! I think we will see more and more products like this! |

Of course i know they're not standalone controllers! :D These are great controllers tho, and TweakHead is right, MS it's a flagship for studios that can afford it. And yes, they're the future of music creation. |

I've got some voucher credit that will bring the price down for the upgrade too. Just too overwhelmed with many other things right now (other toys -- work, etc... in that order hehe) |

I haven't had much need to look at the MS Surface tablets, because I've got my iPad for everything I'd use a tablet for, and "real computers" for everything else. However, over the last couple of months, two of my friends picked up Surface Pro's and both are gushing about them, and how useful it is to have a "real computer" in a tablet form. Both of these guys are primarily Apple fans (one is a confirmed MS hater). Remember the Surface Pro is not the same as Surface RT, it's more like the equivalent of having an iPad that can run either iOS or OS X on the same tablet, albeit at the speed of a Mac Book Pro! Meaning use a real mouse/keyboard/monitor with it if you want, otherwise use it like a tablet.
Then I saw this vid, and realized what a nice solution this might be for someone that was highly dependent on Maschine workflow and/or wants to use it like a standalone piece of gear. Not where I personally am headed with Maschine, but a nice setup for some: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=cMdvdBr9OOo |
just downloaded the new Maschine 2.0 software...lots of new stuff to explore this weekend :D

I was actually going to download this last night, then I realized the e-voucher I had reserved for this purpose was only valid with an expansion pack. So I'm still going to do it but it dropped on my priority list a bit :) |
