UPDATE: I did upgrade to the Maschine Studio only because I found a deal I just couldn't pass up. The above statements still apply.
Update: After using it more, I realize now why you wouldn't use the included samples and instruments. Aside from the typical kicks, snares, high hats, toms, claps, etc., which are mediocre, the instruments included are not very good for general use in music. As stated before, it's got a hands on approach to using keyboard mode for playing sounds "chromatically," or like you would in fl studio. Wish I had saved my money for an mx 49 and just skipped this step.
Facts about the NI Maschine Mirco Mk2
1. Maschine micro has 16 touch sensitive velocity pads
2. Maschine is only a controller and has no built in sound
3. Machine cannot be used as a stand alone sampler which means it has no in or out or Aux jack, that created a huge problem form me
4. Machine has to be bundled with a number of other expensive software programs to actually unleash its full potential
5. If I see another company josh Technics idea of calling it the Mk2 I'm going to puke (Technics is dead R.I.P.) give it up and move on to Stanton or some other high end deck already) lol
6. Maschine Micro Mk2 is only Native Instruments sample controller, there are several controllers for Ableton live by Akai, M Audio and a few others
I gave Maschine Micro Mk2 a solid 4 stars for the overall quality and nice clean look. The sounds included are not bad I just wish NI would loosen up and give better deals on the virtual instrument plug ins
Came yesterday. Everything was properly sealed except for the maschine mk2 box, which was open but everything inside was sealed anyways, and the box which contained said box was sealed too, so I didn't worry about it too much.
I could register my product with little to no effort. It's currently working and haven't run into any troubles whatsoever (regarding hardware).
To anyone who is interested in mpc style performance this is it. It will do anything you are trying to do. You only need your pc and your mk2. It's also a great deal for getting vsts and sound libraries, also a custom DAW for maschine that you can also use for your daily music production needs. Don't expect to be inmediately as swift as those youtube people who are finger drumming hard. You need to practice, just don't give up.
