Should I get a Maschine in 2026?
I just sold my MPC 3 because I decided a DAW is just so much easier. But I still want some tactile hardware to use, so I'm strongly eyeing the maschine mk3.
I know this thing is almost 10 years old, so I have to ask if it's still worth it. Are there compatibility issues from Mac OS updates over the past decade or anything?
I'm a Logic user, but it seems like kind of a pain in the ass to integrate the actual maschine software into my workflow, so what I'll probably end up doing is actually just working mostly within the maschine standalone software.
I do already have Komplete 15, so I wouldn't have to buy any extra software or anything. Just the device itself. However, that's still $499, so not a light investment. I know they're cheaper used, but I've had bad experiences with used gear and try to stay away from it.
Anyways, just wanted to get a pulse on the state of maschine. Thanks!
