Some know and some don’t - Previously I had a moment or perhaps a crisis, if that’s alright to say? Lol

Stepped away for a few months from the Maschine and decided to mangle myself up to what’s been new, popular, and different. This included DAWs as well, and also utilizing the brand-new MPC Live 3 - Which was great but not for me.

With many things tried and tested, nothing really gave me an ounce of inspiration or even a workflow that made sense to me.

After all that time spent internalizing a debate and a solution, it was time to go back home. To a place that knew and understood me.

There’s something magical and wonderful about the Maschine workflow, integration, and the entire ecosystem it’s built on. With Logic as the backbone support, it’s been a breeze, welcoming, and just more awe-inspiring as to how many things that are out there and nothing comes close to what they’ve achieved here with the Maschine. IMO.

Anyone else feel this way? Or tried something else but something kept bringing them back to Maschine?

To be honest, I had massive hesitation over this; basically, couldn’t let go of the pad workflow, coming from Maschine for the past 15+ years and letting go was tougher than my exes.

Therefore, I decided to go all iPad, like Madlib, it’s doable with Koala, AUM and an interface then straight into Logic for further arranging, producing - Then off to mixing and mastering.

I’m nervous, because even after using the Live 2 and One+, they felt underpowered and non-connective for other sound modules. With the USB C connectivity directly into the Mac, I could utilize logic efficiently with the tracks going in and also out, via audio or midi (Using KK for a channel to trigger drums or even Noire for my piano)

Again, got 31 days for a full refund, if needed.

Saw many things online, read a lot and I hope this can replace my Maschine flow into the MPC flow. Also got a NI KK M32 for keys.

Really hope this new venture into the MPC brings out the better part of my creativity, I’ve been rusty for a bit.

The new updates bring a wealth of ease/workflow additions for Komplete keyboard owners, however, nothing outstanding in the 3.5 update except a new UI design for the sampler in mixer view.
