The installation is done it without problems?
Yep, I have NO problem encountered during installation. (Must mention a good little time for the installation, product registration and updates products)

Have you encountered any incompatibilities?
No.

The general configuration is easy?
I do not have to specially configure my working space, the installation finished, I along with my Maschine plugged a master keyboard. He immediately recognized.

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
The Maschine comes with a poor installation guide (English / Chinese). Except how to connect your PC to your Maschine and run software installations, the guide does not provide much in either (short, they are not really shit).
The manufacturer shall, however, available on the website and in French, the Manual of Maschine which is much more complete.

- 320GB SATA

The software works he correctly on this configuration?

What is performance? (If quantifiable)
No idea :/

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you been using?
It's only been 15 days that I have 15 days that I can not sleep!

What is so special that you like most and least?
MORE:
+ Ergonomic and easy to handle. Very intuitive!
+ Efficient: creating a beat in 2, 3 click.
+ Beautiful mouth. Very clean.
+ Ability to "pimp" through his Maschine customization kits (sold separately).
+ Pads multicolored, some find it too KITCH, for my part I do not use one.
+ Scene Mode, a pure feast for these compounds play LIVE with the possibility to create variations.
+ Auto-writing, writing real-time effects.


LEAST:
- The lack of a true manual. For those who have no printer, no second or no screen tablet on hand, it gets boring very quickly switched from one window to another.


Did you try many other models before buying it?
I have an AKAI MPD32 from home, but I use it mainly for making finger drumming LIVE.

How do you rate the quality / price?
For my part, I find it really more accessible than AKAI products for the product line that is. But everyone's opinion on the subject.


With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes, eyes closed. :)
