For people who use these devices primarily with a DAW, having the screens, knobs and buttons on the Maschine Controller isn't really a huge gain - as they aren't very useful there. They aren't going to work the way an S Series works in a DAW with the Komplete Kontrol plug-in.
It has a much better sampling workflow than a Maschine Mikro, but it is locked to the MPC Software (AFAICT). If you're just going to use Maschine for Sampling and as a Drum Maschine/Sequencer, then that controller while running MPC 2 as a plug-in is a totally viable option. OP decides based on if and how he will use the Maschine 2 software.Īlso, he should mention what DAW he's using because some vendors have cheap first-party solutions that would probably work well enough: PreSonus Atom, for example. It's the same workflow as a Maschine+, just requiring a PC/Tablet running Maschine 2. The MK3 is designed to deliver a standalone workflow in a bus powered form factor.
If I were going to be producing in Maschine 2, then I'd get the MK3. I'd get a Mikro to use in a DAW if I just wanted to use Maschine as a plug-in (basically as a drum sampler/sequencer) but also needed pads that worked with my DAW's native drum sampler (Groove Agent, Drum Machine Designer, Kong, Drum Racks, Impact XT, etc.). I wouldn't get a Mikro to use with Maschine Software.
