"Maschine stands alone"

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.

The maschine plus is double the price of the maschine controller version the mk3 and there’sno return policy since it’s software based, so you better know what you’re getting into before you shell out $1500. With that being said; the maschine plus can be used in many different ways to support your workflow, I use it in a more unconventional fashion and feed the line outs into my audio interface and record directly in Ableton, so more as a synth, which also cuts back and / or adds additional computer resources. This was a great addition to my studio and workflow and way more flexible now as a stand-alone unit.
