Mpc studio vs maschine

Partially due to the fact that I also love to use hardware synths on their own, un-synced & I just sample my playing or I sample each individual note. I have a MPC 2500 that I use to sequence my hardware synths & I just haven’t messed with sequencing my hardware synths with Maschine. With respects to sequencing hardware synths I’m sure it’s midi implementation is pretty good, you might want to do some research on that. If the loop has the same bpm as the sequence it’s of course extremely easy. I do know the audio player in Maschine allows you to warp the bpm of loops to match the bpm of the sequence, so if for some reason you couldn’t sync Maschine with Studio One or if it is a pain, you have the option to dump your Studio One loops into Maschine & sync them up quickly.

Maschine’s software could have had a few updates making the process easier, I haven’t updated the software in awhile (I probably should tho).īut if you make drums in Studio One & want to sync with Maschine, I’m not 100% how that works. The way it warps is you have to put the sample (loop) in Maschine’s audio player & it will adjust the loops bpm to match the bpm of the sequence. It also has time stretch and pitch shift. You can definitely loop a sample really short & play it chromatically. With respects to warping a sample, Maschine has something similar to warp, but it works different from Ableton. You might have already found the answers & unfortunately I don’t have a lot of knowledge on the things you’re asking. How good is maschine for using hardware synths? Can you use the scale and chord stuff with other synths? Just curious if my workflow would be viable with maschine. The downside is that I would now have to go between 2 software sequencers on the same laptop screen. And I already have a NI keyboard and a few of their plugins. The idea of trying out maschine would be to simplify my setup, where I would replace a tangle of cables to just one USB cable. And I then play guitar and bass parts over that. Then I add my samples (guitar and iPad sounds I sampled) and basically sync the mpc to studio one for arrangement. I also have an odd workflow, where I mainly do my drums in studio one, with some small loops or layers in the mpc.

With the live, and warp mode sometimes I can get away with only 1 sample and loop it really short and play it across the keyboard, kinda enjoy how sometimes it sounds a little off. I do mean using key groups for making new instruments from samples. I currently have an mpc live, and have used older MPCs in the past. My current options would be either a second hand mk2 or a new micro. So I have an interface, so 100% don’t care to use the mk3. Since I work on a computer, not using 1 for music was important to me (so the fact that everything can be done on the Mk3 AND it has an audio interface sold me on it).

If you don’t care about the built in audio interface in the Mk3 & if you don’t plan on using any of the vst’s Maschine comes with, you might want to check out the MPC software & controllers… The Mikro is small, so more portable, but you can’t do everything on the controller & the screen doesn’t give a lot of info, so you’ll need to use your mouse & computer screen. The Mk3 also has a built in audio interface (it’s the only audio interface I have ever used, but it’s pretty good quality, people compare it to a $100-$200 audio interface). The Maschine workflow can be different depending on what controller you have… the Mk3 & Studio allow you to do everything on the controller without using the computer screen, mouse or keyboard. Do you mean sample a sound in a few different notes, so you can play the sample chromatically without it affecting the quality? I only use Maschine with samples, but never made a sampled instrument. I don’t use any of the sounds Maschine software comes with, but my brother loves them…comes with A LOT of sounds (vst’s & samples). There are things I don’t like about Maschine software & it’s not comparable really to a DAW, but the Mk3 is a great groovebox. I have the Maschine Mk3…1 reason I like it is it has a similar workflow to an MPC (different…but similar).
