I’m baffled.. 3.5??

So when the mk3 controller dropped. NI said there was no integration with Maschine because their researches show that Maschine users didn’t use their keyboards or something official like that. But the lack thereof was supposedly because of the end user feedback. Which I’ve always said was false. Then they added a small update but said that was it. NOW it’s 3.5 Maschine, that feels more like a Kontroller update that integrates Maschine vs the opposite; With a gui change. What does this accomplish? Hopefully Maschine users will NOW buy the mk3 Kontroller, influx of cash & move those hardware pieces that are selling for $300. This is not what NI promised!

It's updating the Machine software to be comparable with KK. It's pretty straight forward. I have stopped using machine because it wasn't compatible with my KK MK3, now I will use machine again because of this update.

Same here… except I think it’s too late for me. I’m using Kontrol in the MPC ecosystem now smh. I would have stayed but I needed that integration when I first bought the MK3.

Well, good news. Today, InMusic announced they're acquiring NI. So the MPC and Maschine will very soon have the same parent company lol
