NI Imaschine October 1st
It appears that october the first is the launch date set by native instruments for maschine on idevices...ipod touch/iphone... No ipad version at this time. I read what little I could since they are advertising it in flash...(can we say fire the help). It really seems as though its not very good at this time... Actually i am rather disappointed by the feature set. How many sketchpad drumsamplers does one need?
I really think after gathering the features that beatmaker2 is still in position to murder this app! I will tell you now whether you want to hear it or not though...YOUR EFFECTS in beatmaker2 are your achilles heal...you are going to need a more thorough filter, eq, reverb and etc...because maschine will have 6 effects, and they will be killer! Up until now, you guys really havent had any competition...but, its getting ready to start.
I would like to think with all the improvements that have been going on here on site, that you will immediately address this situation and stay the Godzilla of the imobile music world!
PS. Why do i have this sneaky suspicion that reason modules are going t appear in tabletop? Hmmmm

iMaschine is def gonna get bought when it drops, just another tool in the arsenal..i just hope they don't do something stupid like make it only 6 tracks or something. I like how they have the in-app purchase for new sounds..(hint, hint) It says on the specs it runs on Ipad 1 and 2..I'm thinking it won't be an HD version like Beatmaker though, looks like it was designed for a phone/ipod.
The mobile music game is getting SERIOUS! I can't wait to see what's to come..this is a great time to be a producer when all the new equipment is a $4.99 purchase on a tablet versus the old days of $2000 for a keyboard/drum sampler...
If it is then you should be able to (theoretically) be able to use the iPad + iO Dock + Maschine /Mikro as a new setup. I was hoping for a controller app more so than the actual music creation app, but ah well.
They should include the mapping for the mikro/masching in the app so I could use my ipad instead of my laptop to make beats.
Its very useless if you own BM2 already....it adds nothing, in fact it has less effects and and way less options...
Its power lies in its soundsets...and you will pay for each and every one. Save your money. Buy Traumahs library, and load them into beatmaker 2!
No need to compare the two yet.
BM2 does everything maschine can do...maschine just has nicer presets ooooh
If you own bm2 and you buy maschine you just have app addiction, not common sense
Buy animoog instead...its fantastic!
Major +1 for Animoog.... it's $.99 kids, cheaper than a beer...... I am flat out amazed by it, and feel guilty only paying 99 freakin' cents!!!!
After this month is going to be 29,99$!
I make good music with multiple apps, and I mix and match the sounds from them.
