What about NI's Maschine? Is it have any advantages over these ones if I used it in Reaktor?

Im really sorry but this is nonsense. I went out of my way to try all three of these units out. Thrust me, the pad kontrol velocity response is far better. If you open one up you can see why, they use a different velocity sensing mechanism to the others. You can play very lightly on it. So I bought one…well two actually

I agree, DrumKats rock. I use to use a Roland SPD into my Akai,
it was a great way to lay down beats. I also dug the ‘hand’ & ’stick’
modes, I could hit it w/ sticks or my hands, very useful.

The best ones out there are DrumKat. You can even use sticks, which is what I prefer. But the cheapest one is at least a $1000. As far as “finger” ones go. I believe the Korg ones are. But I prefer using sticks. Do your research HARMONY CENTRAL is a good place to start for reviews. Also, most of the BIG online companies, have user reviews. Hope this helps.
