Quick Testing Maschine Mikro

After three days reading and watching just about everything I found on the internet on MIDI pad controllers, I finally made up my mind and got myself my first one, the Maschine Mikro.

Had a looong think between the Korg Padkontrol and the Maschine so I headed to the nearest store today and lined up both next to each other. I felt more confident about the Maschine, but it was only after checking the sample library and the software that I realised how good a decision I made. I mean, stuff by Amon Tobin, Matthew Herbert, Apparat, 7GB of quality samples all neatly organised.

Now would be a time to nest in the studio for a week or so and bang out a few tunes but life’s harsh, I got a load of assignments to mark. Anyway, here’s my first crack after firing up one of the presets, can’t wait to dive in deeper.
