Hey Jeremy how do you feel about Maschine's sequencer? I just bought it and I feel like I want to wait for the Akai Mpc Renassiance to drop. Maybe I just need to sit on it for awhile. I know you use it as a controller but do you like the sequencer. Give me an unbiased answer in my inbox. I don't want you to lose any sponsorship lol. Also I want to work with you so let me know how to go about that.

@KozmotheKid I don't like Maschine's sequencer and I'm trying to encourage NI to make one that's as good as any of the other's on the market. I still love Maschine and use it everyday, though half the time I'm using it in MIDI Controller mode, as in this video. I was just too comfortable with my Reason live set up, so I'm still kinda living in two camps...

[KozmotheKid]

@jeremyellismusic I knew it lol. Because as soon as I got it I had buyer remorse. I love the pads but i wasn't sold on the sequencer. Once I saw how people were integrating it into DAW's I started to think that it lost all functionality. Like why put vst's in it if you hate the sequencer. I'm limbo and I have 20 days to return it. MPC Renaissance is super steep but that sequencer may be golden.

@KozmotheKid I saw the new MPCs at NAMM the other day. Sequencer looks just like Maschine's! It might be better, as I only had a quick look. Was extremely disappointed with how the latency felt on the new mini-looking Renaissance. For what it's worth, Maschine has one of the greatest factory sound banks of all time, and it pretty easy to quickly chop samples, load up new groups and even get a few sequences going. I've been digging deeper, but still feel it's better used in a DAW.

Love your stuff man. I think it would be a total mind blow if you did something with David "Fingers" Haynes...just saying.

[jeremyellismusic]

@WillTocaJr Thanks! And, I concur! David Haynes is a beast!

[jeremyellismusic]

@actionfan5555 NO, YOU'RE AWSOME!

[jeremyellismusic]

@SoulcheckAudio Thanks for the compliment. There are more detailed instructions in the companion post, Finger Bang Tip of the Day, on my facebook page. The link is in the video's info. The basic idea is this: get a Bass Drum, Snare and Hi-Hat part going with the left hand, add the Cascara rhythm with the right hand, then try to break up the right hand Cascara idea onto multiple pads. Sample placement is important, but this exercise is more about hand/finger independence. Hope that helps!

[jclark5093]

Sir, you make me want pads, but I feel I'll only disappointed in myself (compared to you!)

Cellist for about 15 years now, but I see creativity shooting out of your finger tips! Which begs the question: When will you get a video camera with a FASTER FRAME RATE SO WE CAN SEE YOUR MOVES AND NOT JUST THE BLUR?!

[BtrayinMF]

Dam dude your a beast! and i thought that aarabmusic was the only one but i like your style way more!

[wilkes982]

hey jeremy, is one of those maschines the one you spilled beer on? hence why you are using only some of the pads?

[hanichg18]

Does the mashchine mikro work just as well as the larger maschine? is it worth to buy the smaller one?

[crackmunch]

@ozycar Thanks man.
