You actually can record long vocals/instrument takes now using clips instead of patterns. That was a huge update for me.

@PHeMoX 6 жыл бұрын
Bus powered brightness is not bright enough for the MK3 to work comfortably in (summer) daylight with a laptop to be honest. In other words, I wouldn't say it's really a feature that makes it truly portable unless you're only working in the 'darker' times of a day anyway.

Im REALLY looking forward to getting this next month!!! Cant believe i did not get it earlier, instead of buying both the Electribe 2 synth and sampler... I really like them - but they are also VERY limited compared to the "Komplete 11 Ultimate" plugins that i got on my computer. I would need a LOT of hardware synths and samplers and effects and stuff, for it to not be limited compared to my computer... I love that analog sound - but i can make "analog emulations" on my software synths, so... Maschine MK3 is gonna be the best thing i ever got, since "Komplete 11 Ultimate" :P

Rather I am looking for a drum machine that lends itself towards Tangerine Dream type of compositions and artists like that.....any suggestions please? Thank you!
