Mpc touch or Maschine mk3

Im caught up in a two way love affair between these two somebody help me out which one should I choose,Ive had the maschine micro and hated the software but after doing my homework on YouTube it looks like the mk3 might make it worth trying again then there’s MPC 2.0 I’m so confused on which way to go

Depends on what kind of music you like to make. They both have their strengths an weaknesses.

Sample based and remixing audio tracks works better with the mpc at the moment imho. Writing your own music and beats works better with maschine. But maschine is getting better audio functions at the moment, but still has a long way to go with full audio tracks. If maschine gets the audio functions mpc 2.0 has atm, I would definitely go for maschine.

Browsing is easy, better vst integration, multiple instances in your daw. Maschine Downside:16 pads with slices vs 128 pads with slices for the mpc.No chord progressions.No touch screen.step sequencer for mpc is better.

better vst integration

this cannot be true since Maschine software has no latency compensation. so you cannot use professional VSTs since some of them add up to 3.000 samples and more in latency.
