Installation? Those who have an IOS device know that is not a problem at all.
Nothing to set, everything is ready. If we follow the manual which can hardly be clearer, there is no reason to be stuck.

I use this notebook on a music iPod 4th generation (bought almost a year ago). Apart from a few cracks when using the FX, it's really super stable, especially for a first version. The battery is correct for the use of iMaschine unlike most apps on iOS computer music (food for thought as BeatMaker 2 eats my battery in 20 minutes).

With regard to export, I have not tested SoundCloud, but only wav and Maschine 1.7. No problem. I also imported wavs via iTunes, which works perfectly and easily.

I bought it two days ago, just at it came out (I waited impatiently).

I bought a lot of music creation apps on iOS: BeatMaker2, NanoStudio, FL Studio, technoBox 1 and 2, TableDrum, Looptastic Producer ThumbJam, Everyday Looper ... Apart from the last two, none can compose as fast.
With regards to the training period, you can not beat iMaschine (15 minutes and we know virtually every aspect). I do not think that having Maschine (for Mac / PC) would have necessarily helped me.

The sounds provided are beautiful, even if the interest of some is questionable. Overall, it's very generic, with a slight hip-hop and electro tendency.

The recording function works well but seems limited when using Everyday Looper (I just tried it with the internal microphone).

It lacks the function Sonoma AudioCopy / Paste, useful if one has many apps for computer music (personally, it does not bother me too much).

As owner of Maschine I think iMaschine is essential. For others, it will be less I guess (unless you hate to think too much in which case it will be great).
