Maschine...

Just like we can with Ableton Live?

I have the first version of Battery and I can trigger Battery's samples with the Maschine controller through the Maschine Controller Out MIDI driver and at the same time sequence Battery with Maschine through one of my soundcard's MIDI out drivers (or you can use LoopBe1 or a similar MIDI connection). So if Battery responds to MIDI cc, then you should be able to use the knobs and buttons too. Just remember that Maschine and Battery can't use the same ASIO driver at the same time unless it's multiclient.

can maschine be used to sequence external MIDI gear... fantom xr, ETC

Yes, it can.

how do you then get the sounds combined?

You'll need a mixer (hardware or software) of course.

This might be the solution for the ASIO multiclient problem:

sweet.... i just wish that it had more MIDI options..... at least 4 Midi outs

Add a MIDI interface with four outputs to your system.

you can always use midi ports on your audio/midi interface

hey lotuz...whats the build quality like.....pads ok? those rotary knobs sturdy enough?

i thought about that

@ mjames4208: One question about the need for four MIDI outputs. Do you want to send MIDI on 4 x 16 = 64 MIDI channels? In order to do that, you need to be able to choose between the activated MIDI outputs and I'm not sure if that's possible. I'll have to look into that.

I have it a year now and it's still okay. But I don't hit the pads that hard as I use fixed velocity and 16 levels. I haven't seen many complaints about the build quality on the Maschine forum though.

thanx...... i'd want to use it the same way that i use the 4 midi outs on the mpc

build is pretty damn good!!!! software stability is also solid so far. I was wondering if I sequenced a beat using all drums in maschine and all instruments on my motif, how do I record it all together to a stereo track
