which is the better buy maschine or the novation launchpad??

[kb1629]

@MossSmurff Well, it all depends on what purpose will you be using the controller 'cause they do completely different things. Launchpad is great for controlling ableton live but it doesn't come with its own bank of sounds. On the other hand maschine is a complete package with huge sample library and a decent sequencer. Let me know what you decide.

Thats wassup. Nice beat man. One question though...is the maschine useful in conjunction with the KORE 2? I'm thinking about buying both.

[kb1629]

@LilMitusTV Thanks man! Well it all depends on what you're after. Kore 2 is great for controlling soft synths and sound designing and also for live playing. It's not as fast and easy to use as maschine. You should try the Kore 2 Player first. It's free from NI's website. You can even map the knobs to maschine hardware if you like.

Is Maschine controlling anything in ableton that the launchpad cannot?  Or is Maschine just controlling its own software?

[kb1629]

@mszostek123 Hi! Maschine is controlling its own software, in which I've programmed the drums. So basically in the video I'm only muting / unmuting sounds.

@kb1629 I have a question: at around 0:27 you push some pads on maschine but the soundelayed, then you play some more and it melds into a beat. How did you do this? I don't have ableton or a launchpad but I want to get them to compose music semi-live (I work better and "feel" the music better that way). Does ableton live and a launchpad(or apc40) work well with maschine for that? If you've ever seen madeon's pop-culture that's kind of what I'm talking about.

yes!! probly the only decent workflow i've seen on youtube with midi keyboard n maschine. awesome man!

[LsnakeM]

nice relaxing music

[emlerat]

@ace101guy either one can simply be used as a plain midi controller for doing anything with anything that's midi controllable.

@ace101guy i went with expensive one first then bought a used launchpad for around 75 us dollars. lots of people are gonna tell you to go with trigger finger instead though cause it's cheaper. maschine is good if you want a nice old school drum machine feel with the flexibility and options that computers can give you. oh, and you get tons of amazing drum samples too along with free library updates. launchpad is simply for launching scenes or patterns or whatever you wanna call them.

Hey how are you using the launchpad with the maschine. I read in another comment that you were running this through the maschine software, does that mean ableton can coordinate with the maschine software or did you get the launchpad to work with the maschine software? What are you doing witht he launchpad in gneneral? I have the maschine so I'm pretty familiar with that but I was considering getting a launchpad do better organize my music, where as the maschine is awesome for sequencing.

[tangojuliet3]

@kb1629 You can also map maschine to control Live in a similar way the launchpad does. I also think that with the new update, you can use maschine as a standalone in conjunction with Live running simultaneously, and switch between controlling Live and Maschine... But I'm still trying to figure it all out.
