    aquarius in celbridge sell them. you do realise that Maschine is essentially a plugin right?

    can't really try out a plugin in a shop.

    I think it's also a standalone unit which can be easily integrated with a DAW afaik

    eh no not exactly. i have one.

    it's a plugin that has a hardware controller. you can run that plugin as a standalone app but essentially it's just a plugin.

    I get your point about it not being available to test out in shop because its a plugin but as there is a hardware controller would they not have the software set up in a host with the hardware available to test out beside it?

    SO.. Can you Rewire it into a DAW?

    I'm guessing that its had too much money thrown into it to even be considered entry into a DAW via VST or AU. NI W A nkkers.


    Whats the verdict jt?

    In the limited info you've put in your posts, you dont seem too overawed.. :(

    haha quite the opposite. it's the greatest thing i've ever bought. the library alone is worth the 500 quid. been beta testing v1.5 which has emulation modes of an sp1200 and mpc60.

    Btw, it runs as a vst/au/standalone.

    However I really don't like the way it's being marketed. It's a plugin with a VERY fancy controller that has 2 led screens. Basically they've made it cleverly so you can do most things from the actual controller.

    I love it, but people seem to be under the impression that it's something like the machinedrum or one of the mpc's. It's not. The end result is that you can work like it's a hardware drum machine but that is not what it is.

    It's very like FXpansion's guru actually. it's like guru with a dedicated controller.

    One of the handiest things about it is, you don't actually need the hardware unit plugged in to use maschine.
