Question about hardware support

znomusicznomusic
in General

Hello hello everyone I would like to ask you if someone is already trying new machine MK3 on BM3 ? I think that maschine mk3 is class complient but I don t know if we can use it as controller ?

I buy a mpc live and I have to admit that BM3 is much more easy to use for live performance !

Now I m trying to find THE controller ...

Any other solution ?

    MK3 is not class compliant, that is BS marketing by NI, the built in audio interface (which is not that good) is class compliant, Maschine itself is not and needs to be connected to a desktop to work.

    Like traktor, NI s*cks

    What a shame because it would the perfect standalone combination ...

  • winconwaywinconway

    Nah the perfect standalone is Push 2 because it is completely open.

    It could be if they wanted but you are right. NI in the best of scenarios will update iMaschine to make it compatible (like z1 and Traktor dj) but nothing else.

    ITOH Mpc live and BM3 are a winner combo IMHO.

    If you have a mac, you could send MIDI via bluetooth(or regular 5din midi cable, or thru lightning cable) to ipad. I tried this with maschine mki and bm3 and it worked great. Setting up bluetooth midi and software on computer is quite a hassle to do every time tho.

    The thing to have something without computer

    In The Other Hand
    In My Humble Opinion

    The MPC X would have been a killer controller if it werent for the screen and terrible on board computer making the price so steep, they should do an MPC X le or something, that would kick ass.

    I'm going to find an industrial designer that can manufacture a controller with BM3 in mind. Lol.

  • winconwaywinconway

    Its actually not that hard with an Arduino, there is an amazing course that costs $99 i think, that runs you through the entire electronics side.

  • znomusicznomusic

    And the Mpc studio ? Anyone has try ?

  • winconwaywinconway

    MPC studio is not very good as a MIDI controller, it like Maschine is too connected to the software.
    Look at MPD from Akai if you want their pads.

    I’m kind of interested in Morph at the moment, want to see how that feels.

    Seems great but not for the rotary commands I’m my opinion :)

    Like i said, MPC studio is no use, look at MPD instead.

  • znomusicznomusic

    Thank you for the info, that’s nice to find someone who knows this kind of info :)
