This. This looks nice. The software if comes with, is it just samples (plug ins?)? Also, what separates it from being an MPC, or rather being more than an MPC? Do you use it with a specific DAW program?

EDIT: Stopped being a lazy ass and did some actual research. NI's youtube videos are pretty explanatory. I'm definitely going to buy one at some point. But, I think I'll buy an Akai APC20 or 40 first, I'm trying to rock this Ableton Live shit.

Maschine integrates with Live realllly well.

i use Live to host Kontakt, Massive and Absynth to play keys and synths through at shows. solid as butts.
