I've had my Maschine for a few months now, and I love it; it's great. There are so many things that can be done with it, other than just using it as a simple sequencer. It's the center of my workflow most of the time. Another plus is it's constantly being updated with new features. It's very intuitive, but I'm still trying to learn how to fully utilize it when making music. But the bottom line is it's fun. I've never had as much fun making music, and it allows me to have freedom and be creative.
