Great review - thanks

Superb review :) Tested it last summer at Sample Music Festival in Berlin, getting mine next week. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

How much should one practice per day?

can you play this without daw or computer? does it have a built in sequencer? thanks for the answer.

that bonus is hard 🤕

Great video, have you tried the newest (last) Quneo? I would get the MK3 but it doesn't have aftertouch, maybe if there is a 4 and a used 3 is even cheaper. Maschines have had great pads since the MK1

Is there any way to go in the settings to fix the pad sensitivity on the machine micro?

Hey, thanks for the video. Surprised that there's not many detailed comparisons like this for finger drumming on KZbin. I've also bought and sold a scary amount of drum pad devices, but not even close to as many as you. I had a Pioneer Toraiz, the 1st rev Maschine Studio, multiple Akai including the MPC Retro, and currently Ableton Push 3. I'm surprised but not surprised that the higher end Akai stuff isn't mentioned - I thought that people liked the pad feel of those. But tbh the akai ecosystem was really confusing and slow coming from a daw background. I currently use an Ableton Push 3 but to be honest I'm not a huge fan. It integrates well with Ableton as a "midi keyboard controller alternative" for playing instruments. but for finger drumming the pads are too small an don't feel quite right. I also get some weird ghost triggering which makes midi editing more complicated than just using a keyboard. AND it has no support as a standard MIDI device for other DAWs which is a dealbreaker. I might take up your rec and grab one of the Maschine MK3 but NI is so cringey to support these days. My original gripe with Maschine was who needs ANOTHER daw running in your daw? Don't understand why everyone needs to reinvent the wheel. Pro Tools/Ableton/etc. already amazing at recording & sequencing. We just need a pad controller that feels great and can load up samples quickly and efficiently edit layouts, and recall every project. I'm surprised there are there not any boutique, high end manufacturers with better quality pads?

Thank you so much brother, you are amazing! Going to check your course!

Thanks a lot!

@15:41 ~ _Obv_ you can't _just_ use the Yamaha, Yama-Yama-ha, Yama-Yama-ha. You'd also need the *Moog and the Casio* to ever be a proper _Electric Gypsy._

this video is gold. thank you man

Great super happy vibes song ❤😊

Holy shit an actual review channel. Nowadays so many of them morphed into something else

love the solo line at the end

so this is not standalone?

Donner medo 🤔

You know that you can adjust the sensitivity?

great video, i was wondering about maschine mikro vs this one☺️

Super super deep menu diving with this guys. Hours and hours to get it sounding modern, or original. it's screaming for a bluetooth connect app for the menus..

why mikro mk3 and not 1 or 2? is the difference in quality that big?

Waou best video

Excellent video and performance; your course on the web is amazing and highly recommended. I’m almost done with it. By any chance, do you have a tutorial for this song?

2 years later.... How are you doing??

Hi! Your video is awesome, I'm about to follow along and clean mine. Thank you so much for the video, really I have a little observation to add: the white flexible cable on the right should be above the black plastic structure, not below. If you see at minute 3:00 and minute 16:56 you'll see what I mean. Thank you again, looking forward to fix it and watch your fingerdrumming videos! Cheers!

2:43 "might have to be broken in" ... that's very generous. Maschine MK3 is the best thing for quiet touches. This video verifies that clearly, though you skip over it quickly. "Just a tiny bit less to soft touches"... But if this is your favorite topic -- it is mine -- then it's a huge deal and dealbreaker.

I don't know if things are different now, but I bought a Maschine Mikro Mkiii on your recommendation and it was so frustrating trying to make it work with Pro Tools. I returned it after a day or two of troubleshooting. All I wanted it to do was behave like a regular midi controller and it wouldn't. You had to make beats and whatnot in the Maschine software then export them in some convoluted way into Pro Tools. It was a huge deal-breaker for me. I'm excited to try out the XJam and I hope I can just plug it in and it works. I need a more sensitive pad controller without all the other bells and whistles that I don't use. Thanks for the continued content creation. I'm glad to see your channel still alive and kicking!

🟨🟨 I hope that next updates came with USB-C, MIDI controller option and levels of sensibility. If it be came in next version, will be amazing.

It doesn't have sampler on the fly

I think I will settle on Mikro M3 until I learn a bit and pick up a yamaha fgdp once I am comfortable jamming out without a need for a tutorial.

Hi, you didn't have to clean carbon from the board, because it works as a conductor between pads and board. To increase the conductivity between the two, an additional step is usually required, using a special magnetic cream, which provides better communication and conductivity. Thanks for your video.

Do maschine mk3 have custom pads

OK DUDE! This is hilarious! The song at the end I mean, not the sad story about you not being uber successful. Thank you for making me laugh. 🙂

Yoo Sum1 know what i should do? I have 1 week with my MPC and pad 1 and 2 started to keep pressed... Making imposible my workflow Im watching videos and It looks like MPC sucks I should buy maschine mk3? Im about to do this

I bought MPC Mk2 two days ago and now i got pad 1 and pad 4 bugged Sometimes just keep pressed and im very unhappy

Hey, would it be possible to do a comparison of the pad sensitivity between a good mpd218 and a bad mpd218? For people who dont know how to check the quality/build/pad sensitivity of a drum pad this would be super helpful! There is very little information on how sensitive is sensitive enough, in general (as someone in you discussion forum said).

Tried to order replacement pads from MPC stuff for my MK2, and shipping to Europe is like 60$, and then there will be import tax too so for 120-150$ I will just skip it, because it's not worth, and I won't buy it anymore.

Your honesty is much appreciated and much needed in today's world ❤😊

Great stuff!

Welll done! Is the akai mpd218 working with phone or tablet in android??

NIICE!!

Watching your video as an engineer (hw & sw) and your description of the differences between devices, even of the same type, triggered quite some bells in my head. Very, very good feedback and method of evaluating devices. As a company I’d hire you as a product tester. 👍

The real question is what would the AI say Sweet Home Alabama is in?

Since I lost my Roland R70, never finger drumming again. But, this Yamaha FGDP is quite interesting if it has functions such as: rolls, repeat, after touch, positional pad, etc. Thank you for sharing your playing style.

Thank you for this recommendation. I just got mine a few days ago and with addictive drums it becomes totally addictive. The control coupled with the detailed samples of AD makes it a joy. Can’t stop drummin’ 😊

Hi. How to open "Native Instruments Maschine MK3 Control Panel" on mac?

I just picked this up Used. First time Synthesizer user, I initially bought the MicroBrute but I saw this on sale (black friday) and have been wanting a Launchpad or something to finger drum on. Any thoughts? bad mix? Doesnt matter? Only started, almost everyone said to get the MicroBrute as a "Beginner Synth", got it, sounds "nice" still a WIP but I was really lacking finger drumming so I saw this and just Ordered it on a whim, as an early Christmas present to myself.
