I don't know what they're thinking. I bought the original Kore and soon thereafter they abandoned the audio interface. Kore2 was an "upgrade" even though it had fewer features! Now, they're abandoning the whole thing. It doesn't give me much confidence that NI is going to last much longer.
No thanks on Maschine.

No thanks on Maschine. actually Maschine is the best product to date by NI, kore was a cool idea to protect their libraries, but unfortunately it was more trouble then it was worth, even hackers hated it, i say Maschine will stick arund for a few decades, maybe come as a ipad app, which wil reach several hundred thousands users easy if not a million, they nailed down the mpc with Maschine, no more huge and heavy hardware, sounds very good

I have spend about $1000 on the Kore system, be it hardware or software. I actually like what Kore does, the fact that I can make complex presets, have the ability to easily assign parameters for modulation with the controller, and the controllers ability to do midi (regardless of the FACT that the foot switch and pedal inputs don't work and never have, much to my dismay). Maybe you believe in macshine, good for you, maybe it does what you want it too as well, and again, good for you. As a kore 2 owner, I'm not too pleased to see a working program be tossed aside and then offered what I consider to be a drum programming device. It's like offering someone a apple, and giving them an orange: it's not even close to being the same thing, right? G
