0:17 make you go back to reason ? you left reason when you can rewire it into everything ? really ?

[SoundsAndGear]

@JSprayaEntertainment that wasn't me lol, that was someone else. People want hands on control of software these days man, maschine changed the game lol. But man...the key action on this thing....no go

[schragemusik]

@SoundsAndGear Maschine changed the game? It's a DJ TOY. Maschine is to music what Painting by Numbers is to art. My God! (Sorry - I meant 'My non-existant deity). It can't even change tempo in a song and that 'song mode' is pure shite.

[SoundsAndGear]

@schragemusik if you say so sir lol, I'm not gonna argue with your opinion, it's obvious NI changed the game with Maschine, period.

[MsBeatJunkie]

Interesting...love that you can browse through the patches and that sliders and faders are responsive....but why 12 pads? Com'on Man!

[SoundsAndGear]

@MsBeatJunkie yeah, dunno whatup wit that

[KnockSquared]

@MsBeatJunkie I know right...12 pads is "EPIC FAIL" Defined... did they even look at Kong...LOL. what numnuts decided to use 12 pads???? SMH...and I would even be able to overlook the sucky key action...but if you gonna make this for Reason... then you need to cover Kong... I hope this is just a prototype...

[KnockSquared]

@MrBrandonPeoples See...Brandon..this is what I mean. The key action is getting an F from everyone I know who touched it at namm. This in itself shows me that not enough attention was paid in the detailing of this controller. They could have left that"automated fader" off and added some other things. That Fadar is strictly eye candy...LOL.

[KnockSquared]

@MrBrandonPeoples I understand what you mean... but getting a dedicated 16 pad device is defeating the purpose of the whole idea of this keyboard. I mean I am not the one saying its meant to be total reason control...the company is. With that said... Kong is one device indeed...but still a very important device. And maybe during design of the keyboard they should have figured in enough space for another row. I somehow got the feeling this was a mistake

[MrBrandonPeoples]

@KnockSquared another video explained why there are only 12. 16 would make the keyboard wider and cost more to make the body. Another option would be to decrease the pad size, which would be terrible. In the end, Kong is only 1 device in Reason. If you really need 16 pads, get a dedicated device, or spend over a grand on a controller that has everything you want, and full sized, good feeling pads.

[MrBrandonPeoples]

@SoundsAndGear I agree with you. NI is a huge innovator in MIDI control devices and complete control over your software. For the Nektar, I'm bummed to hear the keys aren't very good.

[JSprayaEntertainment]

@Altruwest yea i got maschine a some NI plug ins too but those i use as vsti plug-ins in FL so im still free to rewire in ableton and reason if i want ya know ya kno , but i say ipads are the future of controllers now that Jazzmutants lemur is a APP

[Altruwest]

@JSprayaEntertainment That was me, I have used Reason 9 years, but more recently I have stopped using it in favor of Maschine and Komplete. Integrated hands on control is the future for software instruments as far as Im concerned.
