All user reviews of 3/5 for the Native Instruments Maschine MKI

- The product installation was done without too much trouble: version 1.0.1 came with the package n'tant not functional I pass immediately the one APRS 1.0.2 small galre do the update (of a mistake on my part) things are back to normal.

- The configuration gnrale plutt is not simple I do not have the specific problem.

- Note that the version of the manual available in the pack is not a manual but just a "quickstart" manual for the real you have to go the download in pdf on the site of native , it is a shame especially when no internet at hand ... finally good

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- Config:
Mac Book Pro 2.16Ghz 4GB RAM under Windows XP 32bit (dsolp) / Mac OS X Tiger days

- Use:
<ul>
stand-alone: ​​the product is fairly stable except for some bugs especially when doing undo the notes I see that in the ddoublent squenceur ... when you're used his bugs will be said that this does not affect use of the product

Local Accommodations in live mode vsti: some catastrophic in terms of stability I got, sometimes when changing track live as I lose the sound from the pads for about thirty seconds ... CPU load is pretty intense tonnament UI weighting of live ... not too short as the walk co-habitation.

</ul>

- Although trs used in stand-alone I would not call this software completely stable time o j'cris these lines.

OVERALL OPINION

- I use for beginners April maschine
- What I like most is the cot intuitive thing that I think that we should keep even when the mouse is in hand to quickly reach his goals.
- What I like least is the restrictions "silly" and lack of product features today:
<ul>
no midi out: it is virtually no external instruments can squenage virtual or hardware
no import / export MIDI File
not the possibility to serve as a maschine sound module: it is basically saying CRER a midi track in squenceur of your choice and drive with maschine! I love the concept of pattern-based internal squenceur really fun in stand-alone work but when I want a more sophisticated arrangement fawn I want to be my maschine like any vsti that respectable: it is fine to bring a new concept but I would like this is not the dtriment dj existing concepts and yet proven.
no time-stretching: for this type of product is a shame especially when it is produced by the box that makes Kontakt
no possibility to make backups monolithic: it all sounds together to say utiliss in a same file or at least one directory on the file to make projects portable
</ul>

At o j'cris these lines we are waiting for an update (v1.1) that promises big amliorations so I still want to believe: it is still product of a young man who returns if users are properly taken into account could walk the thunder!

- With the exprience I do not know if I would do this choice because the wait is really frustrating updates I would really like Native Instruments changes its policy as dveloppement closer to these customers and s' AGILE mthodologies inspiring and / or XTREM PROGRAMMING (short release cycle, public beta ...)
